I'm the dev of Narwhal 2 for Reddit, which is a third party iOS app for Reddit. I just released the 4th update of 2024, which has a bunch of new features, which I'm hoping many of you will like. As always, I'm looking for feedback on how to make this the best possible third party app for Reddit.

New Features
  • Safari extension to open Reddit links directly in Narwhal. You will have to turn this on in your device's Settings app.
  • When viewing a post for a subsequent time, new comments since the last time you visited will automatically be highlighted.
    • Highlighting is turned on by default, but you can turn it off and adjust behavior in Settings > Comments
    • Also, instead of highlighting the entire row by default, you may choose to only change the color of the time instead.
  • Collapsing comments will now persist between multiple views of the same post. You can turn this behavior off in Settings > Comments
  • Adds setting to choose the type of gesture used to collapse self post text. Choose one of the following in Settings > Posts: Single tap, double tap, two finger tap, or disable altogether
  • Adds "Open in Youtube" to the ... menu for posts that are YouTube videos
  • Adds new fun app icon courtesy of /u/repapap
Bug fixes
  • Attempts to fix issue where Narwhal would cause background audio to stop playing
  • Fixes issue with selecting text when replying to very long comments
  • Fixes keyboard issue where you wouldn't be able to see the input box when sending a message on iPad.

If anyone has any questions around Narwhal 2, iOS programming, what it's like to work on an app like this, etc., I am happy to answer!
