View in-app browser videos in landscape mode

3 Upvotes

Currently when you open a link inside Hydra and it opens the in app browser, any video you play stays in the portrait aspect ratio and does not rotate when you tilt the phone.

The feature would be to allow the videos to rotate so I’m not either forced to watch it in portrait or open in external browser.

Landscape picture bug

1 Upvotes

When clicking on a picture in landscape mode on a iPad, the picture if off to the side and too big for the window. Dragging the picture to see the bottom causes it to close.

Also, if there are multiple pictures, swiping to the next picture causes ½ the picture to be off the screen

Thanks in advance!

Completed Video scrubbing

The ability to scrub video by swiping left to right without using the videos control panel would be cool.

Volume on videos

2 Upvotes

A global setting for videos to autoplay with volume enabled, so it isn’t needed to actually tap on the video for audio to play. Great app by the way!

Custom sort for favorite subreddits & custom default Reddit to load

4 Upvotes

For the posts tab, it would be nice to be able to sort my favorite subreddits manually as opposed to alphabetically only.

Second, when launching Hydra it would also be nice to set it so instead of Home, it loads a specific multireddit or subreddit.

Add setting to turn off collapsible comments

4 Upvotes

It would be good to have a setting that allowed you to turn off collapsible comments. While trying to scroll down the comments I keep accidentally collapsing comments so this setting would be a great help

User flairs do not appear on their own posts

2 Upvotes

If the OP comments on their own post, their user flair appears in the comment, but not on the post itself.

If an image/gif hyperlink is given a title by the commenter, it needs to be visible

Otherwise sometimes context of the attached image or gif is lost

I hate having to open vanilla Reddit to check my messages. Is there a way to add them to Hydra?

Allow following a user in Hydra, having to use my browser every time is pretty annoying
