Hey everyone.]

So update 98/99 has gone live which fixes the crashes (thanks for the reports).

I’m gearing up for a pretty sizable release but just wanted to check in and ask if there was any issues you’re having that I should know about or any new feature requests.

Sorry for the bad comms but I’m making my way through lots of messages and posts on here. Thanks for the patience as I get through these all.

Cheers, Lj

    I’m partly colorblind and it’s super hard for me to see when I upvoted or downvoted a post. Just making the up or down arrow bolder (or circled) once it’s been clicked would fix the issue completely for me and all types of colorblind people.

    Thank you for the great work 💛

        I’m not sure where to find which one I’m using. I use dark mode and the colors I’m having trouble with if the font is too thin or small are the orange and light blue. Changing the font weight or adding another style would also mean this is visible in night mode on Android (which removes all colors)

        Edit : I investigated the viewtypes and they all have the same issue of using the same font size and weight, just using the orange/blue color for the number of upvotes and the selected arrow.

        Edit 2 : increasing brightness helps a lot with the colors, but I’m mostly using Sync at night on minimum brightness.

        The best way for you to visualize the issue would be to activate black and white night mode on Android :)

            Not sure how I would use that. Do you mean 2 custom colors to change both the default orange and blue? I can perfectly distinguish them when they’re on a bolder shape (🟠🔵), it’s just a lot harder (or sometimes impossible) on a thin line/symbol.

            Again, the most efficient way to handle it would be to have a different style for the selected arrow (bolder, bigger, underlined or circled for example), on top of its color. It would then work as well in bedtime mode (b/w and low brightness) for everyone, not just for color blind people :)

            I think bedtime mode activates by default on newer Android devices after 10pm when the phone is charging. That’s how mine (OnePlus) was set up.

            I see my initial reply was upvoted about 30 times. Statistically speaking, I don’t think these would be only from color blind people
