v3.8.0

Features

• Better YouTube Support: Video posts now show proper high resolution thumbnails, open directly in the YouTube app, and get a dedicated action bar in the reader.
• Smarter Feed Links: Pasting a Reddit, Mastodon, or YouTube link when adding a feed now resolves it to the right feed automatically, including YouTube handle links.

Changes

• Themed App Icons: App icons now match the color schemes, and can be picked right from the appearance settings.
• Smoother Visuals: Refined gradients and scrims across the home and reader screens, animated post items in the home feed, and a cleaner background blur transition when swiping through featured posts.
• Performance Improvements: Faster feed parsing with lower memory usage, plus smoother home screen scrolling and image loading.
• Simpler Add Feed: Removed the feed preference toggles from the add feed screen.
• No Shorts: YouTube feeds now come from the channel's uploads playlist, so Shorts stay out of your feed.

Fixes

• Fixed missing images in feeds that put the image URL in the element text.
• Fixed full article fetching failing on sites that block browser-like requests.
• Fixed reading history not being recorded when posts were marked as read while scrolling or paging through the reader.
