The autoscroll controls will now hide with the traversal when scrolling. They still appear on tap, or when going to a new story, to make it easy to re-enable scrolling. Of course, they never appear if set to manual scrolling.
- Fixed offset short stories.
- Moved autoscroll controls closer to bottom on iPhone or compact.
- Moved autoscroll controls between traversal buttons on regular iPad.
- Added a "Restore position" preference in the "Reading Stories" group, with options to restore the previous state on launch always, within a specified interval, or never.
- When within the indicated interval, the app restores the feeds, feed detail, and story selections and scrolling positions.
- The active story is marked unread to ensure it remains available for restoring, and re-marked read when resumed.
- NOTE: only supported on iPhone for now. I’ll add iPad support later.
- Pinch in gesture in a story to force the nav bar to show when hidden for full screen or autoscroll.
- Pinch out gesture to hide it if appropriate.
- Form sheet Safari presentation now only on iPad.
- Responsive swipe is covered by another issue.
I really like this feature!
- Added a segmented control to the story detail menu (in the previous commit).
- When autoscroll is on, the story scrolls automatically.
- Tapping the story when autoscroll is on now shows a small overlay with buttons to turn off autoscroll, pause/resume scrolling, go slower, or go faster.
- The overlay auto-hides after a moment.
- Uses full-screen, even if not separately enabled.
- The user can still manually scroll, and it keeps autoscrolling from there.
- It stops autoscrolling when reaches the bottom.
- When going to another story, the autoscroll overlay briefly appears (if enabled), so the user can resume autoscroling, but it doesn’t resume automatically.
- Removed the tap gesture, as requested. Though I suspect you might change your mind about that one.
- Added a segmented control to toggle full screen in the story detail menu.
- (Also added one for the forthcoming autoscroll feature while I was there, since it’s easier to add both at once.)
- Fixed a bug with full screen when vertically scrolling between stories.
Now supports interactively hiding or showing the nav & status bars when scrolling up and down, and the text no longer moves when hiding/showing via tap.
Added a screen edge swipe gesture recognizer to support that when full-screen (as the built-in one doesn’t work then); added support for tapping images to toggle.
Added a "Tap story" preference with "Toggle full screen" and "Do nothing" options; toggling is the default. This is only available on iPhone. When active, a single tap in a story, not on a link, image, movie, or button, will hide or show the status and navigation bars. On iPhones with a notch (iPhone X, XS, etc), the feed bar at the top is also hidden, so the story can scroll under the notch, using every bit of the screen.
Added a new "Scroll horizontally" preference (in the "Reading Stories" section of the prefs). Defaults off. Note that this is a change in behavior from before; you might want to default it on to avoid confusing existing users. I do prefer the new vertical scrolling behavior.
