@MonaApp These are great updates! I'm wondering if it would one day be possible to show/hide sidebar or tab bar on iPad, as well as on Mac?😁

@MonaApp

For me, the last detail to make it perfect would be to be able to turn off the "Load More Posts" and just have all of them load each time I refresh, leaving me at my last read position. Can this be implemented, please?
