[feature ideas] Auto-refresh, automatically open in default browser

Hello,
I would like to put forth a few ideas that I find neat.
Idea 1:

  • currently if you open the app and scroll down, leave the app and head back you are exactly where you were, you scroll to the top, you use pull down gesture and you get the updates. If any available it says New post - works great.
  • possible improvement would be to leave it as it is with additional auto-refresh feature for when you leave the app and head back -> it should auto-refresh itself immediately and displays the New post ribbon at the top(like now if there are new tweets). Bonus would be to click the ribbon New post and it would take you straight to the top of the feed.

Idea 2:

  • currently if you click URL link in the tweet the URL opens itself within the app->(if you want you click the three dots in the right upper corner->open in Firefox) - works great.
  • possible improvement would be to have an option in the settings to automatically open the URL link in the default browser(skipping the built in twitlatte browser). Why would this be good? If you want to read later all the URL links, you save with this optional setting two clicks per one URL link.

As of now I find the app really impressive as it does everything I need. I find the above features really neat, and so might others.

Kind regards!

Thank you! Your ideas are good! I will implement it in twitlatte in a few days.

I added the switch which you select whether you open web link in app or external browser in settings screen. (Commit #49d6f8e8)
You will be able to use after next update!

Excellent!
I have recently also noticed(to add to the my first suggestion) that when pulling down to refresh the feed it always says new post(singular), even when there are multiple new posts. Possible workaround would be to change the message to new posts (plural). The reasoning behind it is if you check the feed only a few times a day and not every few minutes it usually makes more sense as there is rarely only one new post, but I might be wrong.
Kind regards.
