[Feature Request] Auto-collapse long text posts, auto-expand image posts #213

Closed knobhead closed 5 years ago

Hi, thanks for this nice and nifty diaspora* client!

(I tried searching for similar issues but to no avail. If I dig out old corpses here, let me know. )

General information

Description

Some people and especially many RSS-AutoPoster-Bots post full articles to d*. While this is nice because you don't have to leave the app/the platform to read articles, this means an awful lot of scrolling within the app. Could you include a feature that automatically collapses too long text postings and hides the rest behind an "read more" button? This would give us the chance to decide if a post is interesting enough to fully read it / scroll through it.

Many picture posts, on the other hand, already do show a "read more" button (wording similar), but just expand a tiny bit on tap and show the rest of the picture. I'd love to have them auto-expanded on posting-load.

I hope I could express my wish understandable. If you have any questions or need some sketches, let me know. I'll be happy to contribute, just can't help with code here.

Please ask at diaspora itself for mobile client changes. They do have the code (from desktop version) but its not available/ported to mobile layout.

Too bad. Thanks for letting me know, did so. Keep up the good work, @gsantner !
