Shiny New Backend

v7 brings a brand new backend to Slide, which will help future-proof Slide and greatly improves Slide's performance and stability. This new backend was the perfect time to re-write AutoCache, and Slide's entire caching system has been built from the ground up to be faster, better looking, and more reliable!

Desktop Mode

This update brings a new option to iPad and M1 Mac users, called Desktop Mode. This mode will make the navigation sidebar sticky on the left side of the screen, and adds right-click (or two-finger tap for iPad users) to submissions and comments.

Threaded Mail and new Profile Views

Mail has gotten a refresh in v7, new messages will now show in a Thread View, which makes it easier to organize and read your mail! Profile and Inbox views have been re-designed as well.

Quick User Switching

Forgot to log out of your alt account and want to reply quickly from your main? Quick Username Switching is here, which allows you to swap accounts from comment reply and new submission menus across the app!
