I like the changes, it's working very well!

One thing that still bothers me is webm links. They show as gifs on posts, but when I click on them, they'll give me a display saying something like, "Image was actually a webpage! Open in browser?" Is it possible to have them play in the app like gifs, or do I just need to open them separately in a browser every time? I don't want to leave the app just to view a 5-second webm.

Thanks for all you're doing!

Hey Lj, could you have a look at this? I think there's a bug with scaling inline images:
