- Fixed issue of scrolling up on a short story jumping a bit.
- Fixed the feed bar showing when scrolling between stories.
- Fixed the feed bar showing correctly when going into and out of fullscreen.
- Fixed the status bar background.
- Cleaned up temporary code.
- (This was all harder than expected.)
- Saved searches (if any) are now listed near the bottom of the feeds list.
- When one is tapped, the folder or feed is displayed and the search performed.
- When showing a saved search, a Delete Saved Search command appears at the top of the menu.
- When showing a non-saved search, a Save Search command appears in the menu.
- When the status bar is shown and nav bar hidden, now shows the feed gradient.
- Fixed incorrect scrolling when going to a story that shows the bar.
- Fixed the status bar background not showing up.
- Fixed the traversal buttons sliding down on first appearance.
- Added a “Hide status bar” preference below the “Full screen” one.
- It is only shown when “Full screen” is on.
- Defaults to on, which does the previous behavior.
- If turned off, the status bar remains visible when scrolling to full-screen.
- In this situation, a fade-out gradient will be shown under the status bar, so the story content dims to avoid conflicting with the status bar content.
- Now doesn’t select a story if the appropriate one can’t be found.
- Left commented out the old behavior of selecting the first unread, in case you change your mind.
- All app-specific uses of UIWebView have been replaced with WKWebView.
- Some third-party uses remain.
- More testing required.
- Note that I’ve bumped the minimum iOS version to iOS 11, since that is needed for WKWebView support.
- Committing to a new branch until ready.
- Fixed tapping when traverse is visible.
- Tweaked the autoscroll controls position on iPad to line up with traverse when visible, or go a bit higher when not (to avoid the home indicator).
Improved it so interactive back gesture works when the navigation bar is shown, or when scrolling between stories vertically. As you originally pointed out, scrolling between stories horizontally conflicts with the back gesture.
It is using the system gesture, so I can’t change the gesture behavior.
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 "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.
