[Locked] New Premium Reader Beta Testing Thread
0
The UI for the options is interesting... I guess it will be cleaned up for the release.
So admittedly the only new function I'm using with the beta reader is the two page reader, which is sweet!
One problem I think I'm having is that images are taking longer to load. I see the blurry version but it takes awhile, sometimes several seconds (like up to 30) until the image is clear. I usually view on Fast Scaling & Fit to height if that matters. I only noticed this recently so I feel like it was after the switch to the beta reader.
edit* So it's probably just because of the multipage reader. I tried switching back to the single page reader and could barely notice the load times. So I guess with the multi-page reader sometimes the load times are much much slower. If that could be fixed so that it was less noticeable, that would be great.

A new version has been made available once again. This build mainly focuses on improving the image loading and prefetching, which should be much more snappy now. Other than that, there's mainly been some minor quality of life additions and changes.

Google Chrome android 5.0 the pictures seem to be blurry when first loaded if you tap on the page and bring up the menu it gets fixed but that is a pain to do with every page

It's been a while, but once again it's time for another update. There's a couple notable changes in this version:
- Zooming is now temporary by default. This means that you can zoom on a page however much you want and the zoom level gets set back to your default when you change the page. If you want to set your current zoom level as the default, there is now a button in the options to do just that.
- Options Button and Fullscreen Button have changed places. Because it's more logical for fullscreen button to be on the top right edge.
- Scrollbars! Should be pretty self-explanatory: the reader now has scrollbars. They get hidden along with the rest of the UI, but you can still hover your mouse near the edges to use them. On desktop this means the side arrow buttons have gotten hidden, though, but I don't think this should be much of a loss.
- Better Options Menu on Mobile. What it says on the tin: The options menu should now be more usable on mobile devices thanks to some touch and small-screen tweaks.
And that's it for now. Until next time!

It's time for another small reader update. The notable new thing in this version is Click-Drag Scrolling, which means you can now scroll the page by holding down the left mouse button and dragging the mouse cursor around. You can change how fast the dragging is with the Mouse Dragging Speed option in the settings menu to tweak it to your liking.
Besides that, the reader should now make the initial load even if it's opening in a background tab so that when you get around to it it'll be all ready to go, and there's some minor visual alterations to how swiping works. That's it for now! More to come in the future.

With recent changes this reader is now in use everywhere on the site and with the re-introduction of free content it's not really just the Premium Reader anymore, and as such from now on it will be simply called FAKKU Reader.
Being used everywhere also means this thread has fulfilled its purpose and can be locked. Any future feedback should be directed to the FAKKU Reader Help, Feedback and Bug Report Thread.
