Will be tracking the roadmap by year going forwards.

Planned changes

• Offline mode (view posts, comment, vote all offline with an offline engine that tracks everything and performs the actions once network is established).
• Setup wizard.
• Extremely out of date version check? (Eg. if the app version you are using is over x versions out of date)
• Export tables as part of export settings. Currently there is a limitation for the import/export settings feature. It only supports settings which are represented as key-value pairs. However some settings are represented as lists and these are stored in tables in a db. This change will require the app to know how to import/export a table as well as possible showing this option to the user.
• Revisit the “more options” menus. Some of them are getting too long.
• Revisit how settings (specifically Settings search) is implemented

Specific user requests

• Instead of showing a circle when votes are hidden, show nothing instead.
• Make the “actions bar” in the post list configurable.
• Take screenshot from post feed.
• Suggest/show previously created tags in tagging dialog.

• 3rd option instead of always hiding or always showing avatars: show avatar if set.
• Adjust spacing between posts in posts feed.
• Add setting to make it so that tapping the thumbnail image in list layouts will open the link instead of loading the post below it.
