Announcing RedReader 1.19: an accessible Android Reddit client analogous to Dystopia on iOS (self.RedReader)

Sounds good. We need a dystopia that is not perpetually in beta hahahaha! Though bacon isn’t really that bad.

Over the past month or so, /u/QuantumBadger and I have been doing a lot of work to create a pleasant, accessible Android (and Chrome OS, and Windows Subsystem for Android) Reddit experience for screen reader users. It's now $1!

The app is extremely customizable, here are a few suggested settings changes for accessibility:

* Appearance:
* "show comments button": disable for a cleaner swipe order on the front page (one swipe to move from post to post).
* "show link buttons": disable to remove extra buttons that activate links at the end of comments containing them (links are focusable from the TalkBack LCM).
* Accessibility:
* "separate body text lines": should be on by default now, but if you've previously used the client, you'll probably want to enable this, else long comments will run off the screen and TalkBack will stop reading in the middle of them.
* "use concise language when possible": similar to Dystopia's option of the same name.

By default, long pressing a post or comment will display a list of actions (voting, replying, etc.), and double-tapping a comment is equivalent to Dystopia's "collapse comment". I've $1 to add support for "collapse thread" via a TalkBack accessibility action.
