Avelon App

Hey everyone! For more than a month now I've been working hard on the biggest update to Avelon so far. Today I'm really excited to announce that it's finally out on the App Store! The update includes a whole bunch of cool new features for people who want that little extra and QOL improvements all-around.

Some of the highlights of this update include:

• Community groups
• App themes
• Right-edge swipe-to-go-forward gesture
• Custom app icons
• GIF/video scrubbing
• Advanced filtering tools, including keywords & instances
• Fixes to a bunch of iOS 17 related issues
• New markdown editor tools
• Smart comment jump button
• Ability to manage and clear app cache
• Support for Lemmy 0.19RC
• Lots of bug fixes & improvements all around

I really appreciate everyone who has helped with beta testing during the 1.0.6 cycle, you guys are honestly great!! It's super motivating to hear so many people enjoying the app, and as always I'm open to suggestions and feedback. I hope you find the Pro-model I've landed on a fair/decent way to run the app. I've tried my best to consider all factors like affordability, development, as well as the quality & quantity of what Pro offers - and I hope I've found a good middle ground.

As for the future: for 1.0.7 I'm thinking I'm gonna focus primarily on performance, stability & bug fixes, but I'll probably throw in some more QOL features as well. Just let me know if you're missing anything or if you find any pesky bugs or nuisances. Hope you enjoy the update!

~~Edit: Seems to be a slight issue with upgrading to pro, working on it 😅~~

Edit: Fixed!
