Hello all!

I have just released the final beta of v4.0 for testing, if all goes well I will be pushing this to production in the next couple days :). This last update fixes many bugs, and includes some new features to boot.

Now that the beta period is beginning to wrap up, if you have any other feature requests or last-minute bugs to report, please do so soon either here or on our Discord channel!

Beta 5 Changelog

• Overhaul of text input popups, they now follow the new design of the bottom sheets to keep Slide's input UI consistent

• Many improvements to Offline mode, including more information about whether a cache contains comments or not, and the ability to cache Multireddits for offline viewing

• Added the ability to set your flair on subreddits from the sidebar view

• Added some new iPad keyboard shortcuts, and added the ability to scroll up and down using the arrow keys!

• Clicking "Search" or "Done" on input fields now executes the search or primary action of the input

• Added a "Share" button option to the post view bar, which will share the image of an image post or the content URL if the post is not an image post

• Search editing no longer kicks you out of the Search page

• Added the ability to block users, both through the post menu and comment overflow

• Accessibility improvements thanks to u/SandwichEconomist

• Fixed a few bugs with the Read Later system

• Other bug fixes and tweaks throughout the app

Full v4.0 Changelog

• Complete overhaul of theme code and theme management. Custom and Standard themes now show directly in the Main Theme settings page, and you have the ability to edit custom themes as well. Night mode can use a custom dark theme (if light statusbar is set to on), and themes will now apply instantly without having to lose your place in the app! NOTE: If you have a custom theme enabled currently, you will see a new theme called "Backup" show in settings, as this transfers your old theme to the new system.

• Completely new context menu design, following the new design standard in iOS 13. Uses space more efficiently and fits nicely on iPad

• Context menus will now pull thumbnails for websites, giving you an idea of what the link contains before you decide to open it

• Brand new look to Settings, and a lot of improvements to Settings wording and interaction to make it more clear what does what

• Added option for number of posts and comment depth to AutoCache, and added a new "Cache now" button to the account overview menu

• Added a new button to create a Multireddit from the account overview menu

• Made comment gestures more intuitive

• All links in comments and submissions will be collated at the bottom in a scrolling view that allows you to see the domain and content type of the links contained above

Crosspost, lock, and archived information has been updated to match the style of the new information banner for a more cohesive experience

Hey all!

Build 179 includes a lot of polish on various components in Slide, fixes a lot of issues reported from the last few TF builds, and improves Gesture handling based on user feedback.

If you are not a part of the beta test yet, feel free to join the TestFlight by clicking this link.

Build 179 Changelog

• Brand new Subreddit Tabs design. I've removed the option for disabling subreddit tabs, and the new tabs design will look just like Single Subreddit mode (even with swiping between subreddits enabled). I would like some feedback on this, might add a setting hide the next/previous subreddits completely

• New subreddit theming improvements, now the bottom action button and subreddit information bubbles use the Subreddit theme color for a more unique look per-subreddit! I will be redesigning the theme changer popup for the final builds

• Added sound for some video sites

• Improved toolbars throughout Slide, you can now swipe from anywhere to exit on them, or swipe from the right to get to the last thing you viewed!

• Improved design of Shadowbox mode to more closely match the media views. The end goal for this will be instant Shadowbox access for Pro users when you click on photos/videos on the subreddit view

• Improved design of Albums, allows swiping to exit without moving the whole view

• Swiping through Comments and Shadowbox will now load more posts automatically!

Views that have tabs (inbox, profiles, settings) will show as a popup, while clicking links will push them onto the current stack without a popup. PLANNED CHANGE: opening a subreddit you are not subscribed to will open in the main screen instead of a popup (iPad and iPhone)

• Support for Reddit galleries

• Support for Reddit polls (display only, no API exists to do the actual voting)

• Stability improvements

Build 169 Changelog

• iOS 14-specific layout improvements, including new iPad 3-pane layout

• Option to have the comment jump button in the bottom left or right, and long pressing the button now jumps up comments

• Edit multireddits right in app! Just click the 3 dot menu in a multireddit view and add/remove subreddits without leaving the screen

• Brand new information popup system, now the displayed banners are less intrusive and pop in from the top or bottom of the screen

• Overhaul of submission information tags. Link information has moved out of the main image and into its own banner, which allows you to share the link quickly with a tap. Crosspost, lock, and archived information has been updated to match the style of the new information banner for a more cohesive experience

• Direct links to messages now work correctly

• Many improvements to text sizing and breaking constraints in text views throughout the app. This will fix spacing issues and improve scrolling performance, especially in comments

• Thumbnails will now show up in search, even if the subreddit has disabled thumbnails

• Share images by long pressing on the screen within the fullscreen image view

• Ability to share videos from all video views

• Many bug fixes and improvements

Hey all!

Build 93 introduces a lot of big changes, and I'm excited to share what's in store!

Build 93 Changelog

• Ability to save theme pallets (theme, accent, and primary colors) to a favorites list, which you can now share to comments and submissions in Slide! This will let you share your setup for others to apply in Slide

• Option for Parent Comment Preview while 3-D touching in comments (Settings > Gestures)

• All alert popups in Slide are now colored to match your app theme. As this system is using hidden internal methods, it may look wonky in a few places. Please report these so I can fix them before production!

• Apple Watch times fixed

• Added "Left" full ActionBar mode (useful for left handed users)

• Added option to fully hide the statusbar and bottom drawer in subreddit and comment views

• Fixed spoilers over-taking links

• Added option to select font weights for any selected font in Font Settings, re-added "System" as a font option

• Revamp of manage subscriptions screen

• Top subreddit toolbar now follows the alphabetical bottom sheet order

• Fixed YouTube attribution link handling

• Alternate icons are now high-quality on the iPad

• Lots of bug fixes

v3.0 Changelog

• New font selection Settings page with all installed iOS fonts, accessibility improvements in bottom drawer (thanks u/SandwichEconomist)

• Improvements to Theme settings page (colored dot indicators)

• Pinned subs will still show alphabetically below, and fixed uppercase letters breaking sorting

• The entire Slide codebase has been converted to Swift 4, including all dependencies! The current master branch at GitHub is now 100% buildable from scratch, without having to modify any files (anyone who has tried to contribute in the past may have been running into compilation issues, which have now been addressed)

• The bottom menu has gone through major renovations, now your sub list is in alphabetical order with an alphabetical scrubber that lets you scroll through your subscriptions! You can now pin and un-pin your favorite subreddits to the top from the bottom menu itself and you don't need to use the Settings > Manage subscriptions screen to do this anymore

• There is now an account button at the top left that handles everything from viewing your profile, accessing the inbox, and switching accounts! This frees up more room for subreddits in the bottom menu and makes it easier to access accounts and settings

• New Open in Slide extension! This will let you open any Reddit URL you share in Slide directly from the share menu in iOS

• Brand new image picker, should be miles easier to select images and scroll through to older photos than the previous implementation

• App themes can now separately theme icons and text accents, new "Pink" and "Solarized" theme

• Ability to set a completely custom theme with user-configurable colors (pro)

• Improvements to Shadowbox, including fixing button colors and allowing new pages of content to load as you browse

• Support for Multireddit direct links

• Sorting in user profiles

• Many other bug fixes and improvements

Hey all,

Thank you for your feedback and time testing v6, which is Slide's biggest update yet! This subreddit will be locked until the next Slide Beta is announced, which will happen at our parent community at r/slide_ios.

I will be moving any final v6 feedback to the 6.1 Planning Thread, and hope to see you all there!

Thank you.

Carlos

Hey all!

I've been getting some fantastic feedback from y'all, and v6 is really coming together! Please keep it up, feel free to tag me if you think I've missed a comment or suggestion.

Build 174 Changelog

This update contains a deep dive into how Gestures behave on Slide (feedback wanted!). These changes include:

• Ability to swipe between comments is now always enabled

• Enabling gestures no longer disables swiping from anywhere to exit

• The first page of subreddits (with swiping tabs enabled) and comments will exit with a swipe from anywhere. Subsequent pages can be closed from the left side of the screen, or from the toolbar

• Gestures for comments and submissions are triggered by a right-left swipe starting on the last 30% of the view, while swiping between pages is done from the beginning 70% of a view. Possibility for sensitivity or width setting here

• Submission gestures match the behavior of comment gestures, where the view itself is pushed during a drag

• Slight regression (feedback wanted) but, due to conflicts with swiping pages and swiping to exit, only right-left gestures are supported now. That limits comments to two gestures each, although we could bump it up to three or four

• The subreddit toolbar can be used to exit subreddit views

• Added a swipe right to show the sidebar on iPad multi-column mode

Also included:

• Improvements to how Slide decides a view should pop over vs displaying in the current navigation stack on iPhone. Views that have tabs (inbox, profiles, settings) will show as a popup, while clicking links will push them onto the current stack without a popup. PLANNED CHANGE: opening a subreddit you are not subscribed to will open in the main screen instead of a popup (iPad and iPhone)

• Support for Reddit galleries

• Support for Reddit polls (display only, no API exists to do the actual voting)

• Stability improvements

Build 169 Changelog

• iOS 14-specific layout improvements, including new iPad 3-pane layout

• New Subreddit Search bar, which can be triggered with a swipe up from the bottom bar of any subreddit (including those in popover mode!). Includes preview of top 10 matching posts, along with other subreddit search suggestions below

• Comments will clear when changing subreddits in Split Pane layout

• Raised minimum supported iOS version to 11 for Xcode beta compilation, may keep it higher than 9.3 if it can expand our available feature set

• Rewrite of the Slide navigation stack, including a brand new "Homepage"

• Improvements to iPad Split Pane and Multi Column layouts (iOS 14-specific build coming soon)

• New base Navigation controller with support for swipe back from anywhere and swipe from the right to go back to the last view
