Interstellar update: new wide layout mode for computers/tablets, and redone profile editing settings

Features

  • Profile editing is now on a separate screen and comes with options for deleting your avatar/banner and editing many of your account settings such as when you get notifications, whether to show NSFW content, if your subscriptions and followed users are public or not, etc.; by @olorin99.
  • A new compact post layout is available for use and makes browsing the feed view a lot more readable on desktops, tablets, and wider screens in general. By default, it automatically detects whether the new "wide" layout should be used or not based on the available screen width, but you can also manually set the layout in the settings, under the general settings page.

Fixes

  • Browsing with a guest account now correctly hides filter options in the feed mode.
  • The create post button no longer shows for guest accounts.
  • m.youtube.com now counts as a youtube video link.

Moved to kbin.run (mbin) today and installed Interstellar :)

First impressions:

  1. Glad to see an actively developed app for Kbin/Mbin! Thank you so much.
  2. Couldn't find Interstellar in the Google Play app on Android. Had to follow the URL that was posted here earlier.
  3. Nice to have posts visible in "Guest" mode, without being logged in.
  4. Logging in into my account was a smooth experience.
  5. The cards on my Galaxy S10 are big!! I have 1,5 threads visible. The thread titles and miniatures are too big for my taste. Maybe you can take inspiration from the Trunks app (for Mastodon), which has aesthetically pleasing cards and hides the boost/favorite buttons by default (until you tap the card).
  6. I can't easily switch between subscribed magazines? Swipe from left to reveal a list of subscribed magazines would be an ideal solution!

Thanks again! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the feedback! I've thought about adding a subscription list, so I'll add that to the planned features. I'll also take a look at the mastodon app; someone else also said the layout took a lot of space, so I've already been looking into that.
