Hi,

First of all: thank you for this really nice app. I had been looking for a good open source alternative to Sync for quite a while now and I think this might be it! Love how customizable it is.

One thing I'm currently missing is being able to see the type of post in the "compact" feed view. A picture post and a link to an article that has a preview image, for example, cannot be distinguished.

Sync has this really nice layout where there's a thumbnail on the left and then on the right it shows the content type. You can tap that button on the right to open the content (either show image in viewer mode or open link in browser).

Would make this app basically perfect for me if this could be implemented.

I also miss this Sync feature. Side note, it looks so weird having thumbnails on the left.

You can change that from the settings -> Posts feed -> Post appearance -> Prefer image at the end

Oh I have. I was just shocked by how strange it looked to me after having used thumbnails at the end for years 😅

I actually implemented this feature for another feature so the only thing I need to change to make this work is to add a setting to toggle it. I'll add this for the v1.60.x release.
