Some bugs I found

  • in the login window, backspacing in the server url removes textbox focus. pretty annoying, when you want to backspace multiple letters

  • downloading an image from the top right icon seems to crash on about half the posts

  • selecting a file to upload and cancelling instantly crashes when returning from the intent

  • when servers time out, i get a "Unable to parse JSON from..." toast. Probably might be improved by checking http response code.

The app itself feels very non-android and more like a patched-up solution on a fad of a framework. This is fine and I get it needs to be devved fast, but it feels very alien.

  • buttons sometimes expand a "div" downward downward

  • as a textbox expands, if you move the cursor to edit the previous line and start typing, there's some wonkiness going on. I can only describe it as: the text is not inserted where I expect it to be inserted on a native textbox

  • scrolling. I know you placed a bounty on it, and it mostly seems fixed, but it still doesn't feel native, in a way I cannot describe. Jagged, lacking "weight" and sometimes doing something else than what you expect. And definitely ignoring system wide animation settings.

  • there's also a lot of flashing on the right side where the scrollbar is and it resizes in a deliciously epilepsy inducing manner. Perhaps the scrollbar can be made optional.

  • the app isn't resized correctly when popping up the keyboard. Pretty horrible when editing a post.

But the abolute worst bug is that when scrolling a sub, your scroll position is not maintained after reading a post. You are always scrolled up regardless of using back, the gesture, or the top left button - but only if you open the link or the image.

The more you dive into a community, the harder it gets to go deeper.
