Question about RedReader (self.Blind)
submitted by DariusA92
I installed this app some time ago and it works well on my Android phone, but I'm wondering if there is a way to show posts' text alongside the title so that we don't have to open the post to read it? I explored the settings, but didn't find anything for it.

Wait, you want to see the *text* of posts in the post list? That seems like it’d really clutter The interface, and I don’t know of any other client that does this.

**Reddit for Blind** on Windows does that. It makes working with Reddit very convenient.

Yeah. I think there's a bit of a difference in design at play here: screen readers can probably handle large amounts of text differently to eyes. People scrolling through post titles will have a different experience to those listening. Reddit For Blind on Windows handles this well, I find myself wishing Dystopia did the same on iOS even though before For Blind came along, Dystopia was my gold standard.
I'm a very reluctant Facebook user on occasion also, and the way it mixes and matches these techniques really annoys me: friends' posts are sometimes read completely, group or page posts are sometime truncated, etc. It's frustrating.

The card view does this but only a preview of the post, not sure about entire posts which I agree would be a mess of clutter.

> The card view
What are you on about? RedReader has no such options.

Yeah that's odd then, cause every other app does, it's the setting for title or title with preview. I checked that app as well and seemed to have it, but no idea how to enable it on there.
Edit: Seems like it's only giving me that cause I have it on platform wide or something, cause yeah the actual setting to switch it on is missing, along with a lot out other things.

Should be just a matter of setting default view to card from classic, though that's just related to post preview or not, I use the official app on android as it's the best one I’ve found on the OS.
