Nice! Being able to embed and play videos/gifs within the app is still rare so this is great! One thing I’d suggest is being able to play media in-line while viewing the post, instead of opening the media file itself to play it. Good job, and I’m looking forward to the growth of the app!

Awesome to hear! I spent quite some time on getting the video player right, so I’m glad to hear people enjoy it (:

The fact that videos don’t play when you’re viewing a post is actually a dumb thing I forgot haha. Videos get a signal to auto play as soon as they get into view of a virtualized list, since it’s not in a list when viewing a post it actually never gets the signal 😅

I’ll make sure that this is fixed it the next release

No worries! Just being able to play them in-app is already great in itself. Autoplaying the video/gif on the post isn’t even strictly necessary IMO. As long as the user has the option to play it while viewing the post is good enough. Then maybe it can be an option in settings to auto-play media if the user wants. Thanks!
