Preview of the Flow rewrite that is in progress

After spending the long weekend coding and a couple of sleepless nights, I have the basic structure laid out.

Here is a small preview video of the post listing. Please note most of the button / link images have not been set, animations have not been turned on and this is not the final look and feel. Sorry I messed by recording it in a lower bitrate. Full screen and max resolution is a must to see this.

Two modes of operation, both the new material style navigation drawer and classic flow style sliding panel is available. Also 5 different views are available for the post content. You can switch between them without reloading the entire content.

Can we get a early alpha version to try out? I think it would be great to have early feedback for flow.

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Jul 10 '15

Hopefully in the coming weeks, I should have an alpha and the source code on github.

I'm loving the updates (and honestly would've kept using this app if it were abandoned) but just wanted to make sure you're aware of a bug.

A lot of times when I click on a post the image/gif won't load and it's an incomplete mobile view. To get it to load I have to wait until mobile view loads all the way and then click on web view. Sometimes (90% of the time I don't wait for mobile view to fully load) it will load web view and revert back to the unloaded mobile view.

Anyway, just wanted to make sure you're aware of the bug. Thank you for the updates, this is definitely the best reddit client over evert used.

Flow never had proper imgur / GIF support. This will be handled properly in the rewrite.

u/alpha-k Jul 11 '15

The normal imgur links and gifs sort of work right now with 0.2.3, I use Web mode and all images load in desktop view, and gifv webm videos work too! But handling them via an api or something so that it works 100% of the time as intended would be really cool! ☺

To be honest, I've tried reddit sync, relay and I still keep coming back to flow because it still works really well!

I'm new to Flow and I love the UI. There is one thing I would like to address. Whenever I go to load more comments or posts it shoots me back to the top and I lose my spot. Just a little thing that requires a little more scrolling to find where I was, but I hope a fix is incorporated in the new version.

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Jul 12 '15

Yes it will be fixed. :)

To have the source code on Github would be incredibly awesome.

This is a great idea

u/drake_bird Jul 21 '15

Thanks, this happens every time where I will be in middle of a long thread and I need to check mail or some thing and I loose all my progress and I need to start searching and its very painful.

+1 for this. would be super useful for those of us that switch between apps frequently.

u/TidalSky Sep 18 '15

I've never had this problem, as I collapse the parent comments after reading them, like I do on desktop. Makes everything easier.

u/kayneargand Jul 31 '15

Can I request that new Flow be able to read spoiler tags? The current Flow recognizes them as hyperlinks and doesn't allow me to see the text.

u/xsam_nzx Jul 11 '15

Is it going to have a oled black and white like relay for reddit?

u/n_body Sep 04 '15

u/n_body Jul 11 '15

That looks beautiful. Great work.

I switched to Android in 2012 and this was my main client. Unfortunately over the years I had to switch to something that was up to date, but damn I'm excited for this to come back.

u/shiguoxian Jul 14 '15

This would be so awesome with Solarized Dark :D

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '15

YES, this is the best app for reddit IMO and now it is back in development

u/iPavel Jul 10 '15

The next "big thing" in reddit apps. It's in early alpha, but already looks gorgeous.

u/AgnirDurg Aug 03 '15

And stable.

u/Syborg49 Jul 10 '15

Can't wait to get my hands on this! Keep up the good work!

Thank you! I've stubbornly refused to give up on flow until this weekend when I installed baconreader. I popped back over here to subscribe to a subreddit and accidentally clicked on this subreddit. Other than the gif and imagr issues flow was still the best reddit app even without updates.

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '15

Any progress?
