Shadow release

There is a "shadow release" v0.1.26 rolling out right now. It doesn't add any features. It just fixes some bugs. That is all.

I'm calling it a shadow release because I'm not making a new post for it

Shadow release 2

Based on the wonderful discussion in https://lemmy.world/post/1350726, I have made some changes to how "Hide read" works. This update should hopefully be available in the play store in ~ 1 hour. We are on v0.1.29 now because I had to make some hot fixes along the way.

Where is the option to hide read posts with the FAB? I can't find it.
- You need to disable "show read post" first. Tap on your account (top right). Tap on the gear icon next to your account. Disable "Show read posts". Then tap save.
  By the way if there is a different implementation of this you would prefer please let me know. I'm not used to this workflow so I just implemented what I thought made sense.
  
  You are right, that made the button to appear.
  I don't know how this should be implemented on Lemmy, but on Reddit this is done all through the app clients, scrolling down mark as read the posts, then you have s button to hide them all.
  This setting is per app only.
- I don't see it either.
Man, summit is looking nice. The layout and the dark theme are so well balanced.
- Thanks!
Other than voyager which is a web app, Summit is the smoothest without janky scrolling lemmy app for 90hz display.
Edit. Would love to have bold post title
- Thank you for you're feedback. I'll add the bold title option to the roadmap.
  Just to give some insight into my priortization, I am prioritizing core features first not only because those features are important but because those features may change how the UI looks. Once the UI layouts are more stable, I'm going to aim to add a huge amount of UI customization into the settings. This way, I don't end up implementing UI customizations for UI elements that just gets removed or changed substantially later on. Ie. less wasted effort.
  
  Totally understandable! And can't wait for the final product
I love the material you color scheming, how far out is the material you app icon? I want this app on my home screen but it doesn't match :)
Loving the app so far...I have tried a lot and this feels like it has the most potential. Nice work!
- What the. I didn't even know this was a thing. I'll add it for the next update.
  
  WOW! Thanks...I know that it doesn't affect a huge population of users, so I really appreciate you even responding :)
  It is a really nice theming option for Pixels, I honestly pick my home screen apps based on whether they have the icon.
Great release!
