    The amount of updates you crammed into a single update just days after it became available on the App Store is insane.

    Kudos for amazing work!

    If you don’t mind, I have a few suggestions for your kind consideration:

    1. Can we pull to refresh within posts (to see if there are any new comments) as well, rather than just in feeds?
    2. Could there be an option to show my profile when tapping on my username on the bottom bar? Right now, the only added benefit of the default page is to have a place to see saved posts and comments, but couldn’t that be rolled into a single page?

    Thank you again for building this amazing app!

    Awesome! Thanks!

    One small request: is there a way to create new posts? Maybe it’s not so obvious right now 🙁
