  • having an option to auto collapse/hide them, but still access them if needed would make things easier for many folk

    This logic could also be useful if applied to comments from filtered users. As OP mentions:

    blocking someone will hide their comments AND any replies to those comments

    I can definitely imagine the following chain of events occurring:

    1. Reading through comments under a post
    2. Glossing over a collapsed comment from a filtered user
    3. Feeling lost reading the replies to that filtered comment
    4. Wanting to briefly un-filter that comment just to get the appropriate context









  • Where are you seeing that requirement? Like I said, there should be nothing stopping you from simply building the APK and letting any arbitrary user download/install it. Think of all the APKs available on GitHub, itch.io, etc. Anyone can download/install those without the user or developer having had to register for anything. Android is not a closed system like iOS in which distribution of applications is restricted to some official channel.










  • Close.

    1. Android gesture navigation replaces the system back button with a swipe from the edge of the screen. This in itself causes an issue with apps that (since long before gesture navigation was introduced to Android) use an edge swipe gesture to activate an in-app feature. The first app that comes to mind as an example is Termux. Swiping in from the edge of the screen opens the side menu in the app. But with gesture navigation enabled, this same edge gesture instead triggers the system back button, closing the app. I have seen some third party Android skins offer an option to only trigger the back gesture when swiping from the bottom 50% of a side edge. In the case of Termux, swiping from the top 50% would then open the menu as expected. Alas, GrapheneOS does not have this option.
    2. Aside from this intrinsic issue, I also experience bugs in certain apps that are resolved by switching to 3-button navigation. From what I can tell, this might be fixed by these apps implementing newer/different Android APIs or something. I don’t know. I’m not an Android developer.
    3. Even with the previous issues resolved, system gesture navigation is all about swiping from the edge of the screen. What I want (and Thunder provides) is the ability to swipe from anywhere onscreen in order to go back. Sort of like swiping away a card. This is a behaviour that is only implemented at the app level.
