How do you create new posts with all FABs disabled?
Edit: oh i see. You have to open the sidebar which while accessible with talkback is not the best.
The new fab is really good, but I think you should be able to select it's default action.
The FAB could use some work. With talkback it only reads as "button" and when expanded the buttons highlight but are not read at all.
Edit: also under settings > gestures the things for choosing the action are no longer read
Edit 2: github issue #517
This is a great release. The only thing missing for me in Thunder is the ability to edit comments. Seems like everything else is there. I really like the UI.
Nevermind. I found it. Doesn't seem like it would be a setting but all is good.
Unread messages count and not being able to tap on the community from the compact view are awesome! Great release!
Anyone else's cache for this app get big suuuuper fast? That is my final gripe. Using it for a few days will get up to like 600mb so I clear it often.

Hmm, this could just be from all the media that is cached when you use the app. Could you open up a new GitHub issue on this so that we can take a closer look at it?
This is a nitpick to be sure. However, talkback currently reads "one inbox tab four of five" or whatever number of notifications you have like "two", "three", etc. Could this be changed to "inbox one tab four of five"? So instead of (number "inbox") it would be ("inbox" number).
I can take a look at this!
