Developing this app has been one of the best development experiences I've had, and I feel very privileged and happy to have been able to contribute to Lemmy in this way. Nothing is more motivating than seeing so many people already enjoying the app and providing suggestions and feedback.

I really hope you enjoy Avelon, and I'm looking forward to hearing more about what everyone thinks. Keep the feedback coming!

Thank you, Sigve Rokenes

The app is not bad. The browser needs reader mode. Give the choice to make it all black.

Looking at adding reader mode for the next version!

I hope you can keep reader mode with the browser you’ve used. I love the done/close button being in the bottom!

Not sure that's possible unfortunately. Apple is a bit strict with their default web view so it can't be customized as much. I'm pretty sure the one I'm using now doesnt support it unless I do some kind of custom web parsing stuff from scratch

Well that’s unfortunate. But I suppose the improved features would be worth it.

I’m pretty awestruck by the way you can swipe down to close websites in bean. Maybe you can implement something similar? It’s really intuitive and convenient.

When I redo the in-app browser I'll consider making it a sheet you can swipe down, sounds pretty nice. Kinda annoying when the close button is at the very top

Great! Even better if you could add a “add to reading list” button
