Layout Tweaks
Added an alternative status layout. Added the option to hide user handles.
The post/reply/etc controls appear on rollover in the alt layout, which is a little jarring, especially when scrolling. I tried animating it but there are some glitches with the image views (which resize weirdly before animating), which makes that look a bit ugly too.
I think the rollover state could probably be debounced/delayed slightly so that you had to hover for a few seconds, which would clean up scrolling. The controls could also be overlaid and offset from the bottom of the message, so that they don’t affect the message layout. Or the controls could show when the message is selected, rather than when rolling over (better on iOS too perhaps).
Looks like this includes the relative date PR too? Can you rebase that out?
Also a screenshot would be nice. Cheers!
This is my work-in-progress branch, so probably shouldn't be merged as-is.
As discussed in #3, I will split out individual self-contained changes and submit them individually.
I've switched this PR to a draft, but close it down if that works better for you.
