  1. Subreddit Linking

    When someone links to a subreddit in the comments (ex. /r/adviceanimals) it isn't clickable. This could be fixed.

    • Better support for gifs

      Admittedly they are larger files and so obviously take more time to load, some of them take a really long time, even when connected to decent wifi.

      • Some way to clear the cache.

        When viewing subreddits with many large files/gifs, the cache fills extremely quickly, causing the app to crash. It'd be appreciated if it could auto-empty the cache, or at least give the manual option to take care of it.

          • Add a "random subreddit" link.

            Sometimes I like to browse random subreddits and can't do that on Baconit.

                • A way to tell if i have already visted a linked link in a comment or post.

                      • A custom sub-reddit list order.

                        I want to be able to move my sub-reddits around in the list. Other that just by alphabet and number of subscribers.

                        • Make swipe-to-vote in flip view work with self posts

                          When browsing in flip view, swiping up or down normally upvotes/downvotes the post - if you want to scroll, you normally do so by tapping on the content first.

                          For self posts (and bestof posts), however, swiping up and down just scrolls from the start. I like swipe-to-vote a lot - I set reddit to only show posts I haven't voted on, so I tend to vote on every submission I read, and it's a lot easier to swipe one handed than to hit the buttons. It would be nice if *all* posts used this mechanism consistently.

                            We need a way to open images that won't load in baconit in IE. Rather than the share > copy link > exit pattern. The same link you have when we open a story to open in the browser. And then ie if necessary. I

                            • Support display and creation of markup in comments.

                              Baconit needs to support displaying markup codes properly when reading comments. It also needs to support the use of markup when writing code. Ideally this would consist of buttons to paste the markup tags. At the least there should be a button to display a reference so we can manually input them.

                              • Add flair for subreddits

                                If I'm browsing a subreddit like /r/hockey that can have flair-sensitive posts, it becomes difficult to comment using Baconit without guessing. Even if it's just the text of the flair, that would be helpful.

                                • allow option to open links with other apps (like youtube->metrotube, vimeo url->vimeo app)

                                  it would be awesome if baconit allowed seamless interaction with other apps, im not sure if the API allows this or not... but it would be awesome.
