Hey just noticed the app updated... Looks like a pretty big change but pretty nice. one thing though was wondering. How does it decide the length to show?

I see some posts are really long but others are shorter and get the Read More cutoff

    I'm gona throw out a guess and say it might be done by character count and not number of lines, possibly due to variarions in screen width.

    That is, of course, merely an assumption

    @Aporue-Sutol well this would be abused.... I could write a program to convert all posts to put a line after each word or character..... lol...

    But I guess that would really piss ppl off....

    @billgates that could prove rather amusing, though I'll agree that some folks might not enjoy it as much as we would.

    I believe they just do it based line count or so.

    Might be the combination of both. A guess.

    This hasn’t changed recently (it’s always pretty much just been character count) but we’re looking into some improvements that have been suggested on the GitHub issue tracker.
