This update will be focused on overhauling the actions system within the app.

Currently the app records histories for some actions and is also smart enough to retry certain actions. All of this stuff happens behind the scenes. Although users can see the actions history, it is buried in the settings screen.

The retrying logic also has some issues. For instance, retrying adding comments/posts can result in duplicate comments/posts. This is very undesirable.

This release will focus on tweaking the actions system, overhauling the UI giving users more visibility and power when viewing action history as well as giving users a way to retry a failed action.

In the coming release, comments or posts that fail to send due to network issues will immediately error and will not be retried. They will be stored in the actions history so the comment/post is not lost and the user will be able to manually retry to send them. While this solution is a bit manual, it at least works better than the existing system.

Changes so far:

  • Made the user stats tappable on the “You” screen
  • Fix a bug when loading inbox message/items past page 1 where it would load the wrong page.
  • Fix some scrolling issues on the inbox screen.
  • Fix some inconsistent theme issues.
  • Redesigned the user actions screen.
  • Add details screen for user actions.
  • Add ability to retry/rerun or delete actions.
  • Change post/comment actions to not retry. This is to prevent duplicate posts/comments.
  • Rename “auto-hide duplicate posts” to “mark duplicate posts as read”.
  • Improve mark duplicate posts as read, handling some cases where duplicate posts were not recognized before.
  • Improve mark duplicate posts as read to recognize crossposts and original posts as the same post.
  • Improve markdown parsing for inline code.
