Wishlist: Top-to-Bottom scrolling

Open darac opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Hello,

Would it be possible to implement a top-to-bottom display? At the moment, new tweets arrive at the top of the screen, but this has numerous side-effects:

  • When reading a conversation, one reads downwards in a single tweet, then jumps up to the top of the tweet above it and reads downwards again. A top-to-bottom flow (as demonstrated here on Github) reads more naturally
  • When scrolling upwards to a tweet with embedded content, loading the embedded content causes lower tweet (which may actually be the tweet the user is reading/about to interact with) to jump downwards. Loading embedded content and then pushing newer tweets downwards would tend to alleviate this.

If there is a desire to make the app localisable, then this should only be implemented where the reading language is top-to-bottom (And perhaps not, for instance, in Japanese)
