Planned changes
- Offline mode (view posts, comment, vote all offline with an offline engine that tracks everything and performs the actions once network is established).
- Setup wizard.
- Extremely out of date version check? (Eg. if the app version you are using is over x versions out of date)
- Export tables as part of export settings. Currently there is a limitation for the import/export settings feature. It only supports settings which are represented as key-value pairs. However some settings are represented as lists and these are stored in tables in a db. This change will require the app to know how to import/export a table as well as possible showing this option to the user.
- Revisit the “more options” menus. Some of them are getting too long.
Specific user requests
- Take screenshot from post feed.
- Add “I’m feeling lucky” button. Not sure where to add this. Maybe on the “Search” screen somewhere.
- Allow users to choose to check unread counts for more than just the current account. Also surface the unread counts for other users somehow.
- Add option to navigate by side bar (like the OG apps from material 1)
- Add some way to indicate a community is one you are subscribed to everywhere in the app. Eg. When searching for a community in the community selector, in the suggestions window when drafting a post/comment or in the seaech community screen in multicommunity or filter by community in search.

Thank you for all your hard work! We definitely appreciate it
Wow, now this is one comprehensive roadmap. Offline mode in the spirit of redreader would be superb. Looking forward to seeing new versions and their features.
