Description
Compared to most modern apps such as the official Reddit client, Reddit in browser (Firefox), and Google Photos, RedReader's navigation of images while zoomed in is frustrating. This is because there's no "glide" or "velocity" when you release while swiping. I screen recorded these apps so you can absolutely understand what I'm referring to.
I appreciate that this app is free & open source, and I know not every feature is able to be met by limited and unpaid development, but for anyone looking to take on what I, a relatively uninformed non-programmer, think would be a simpler project, there's my idea. Thanks again!

Research direction
Search the Java Android sources for the image zoom and swipe/touch handling, then compare the current interaction with the linked screen recording. Done means that releasing a swipe while an image is zoomed produces the requested glide or velocity without disrupting navigation.
