Description

hello
after the last issue regarding line brakes was fixed I played around with the app a bit more and I have a couple suggestions along with a feature request or two.
The first suggestion I have concerns links. sometimes on the web version of reddit. When people post links in their text posts it would show up like a link with a title instead of its complete URL for example if a link says go here and it leads to example.com it would just say go here instead of reading the URL. In your app what it does is that it says “go here example.com” instead of just saying go here.
I don’t know if this is a bug or intentional but I thought I should report this anyways. When a post has awards. It only reads out awarded gold. It doesn’t read anything for platinum or silver. Could this please be fixed?
A feature request I have is for the ability to add or remove buttons from the subreddit and post toolbars that show up on the top. As a screen reader user, hearing things like up vote, down vote, And share every time you want to read a post gets a little verbose after a while.
The final feature request I have is for the ability to give awards to posts you like such as Reddit gold and silver, The reason I am requesting this is because it is a bit harder to do on the Reddit website as it is inaccessible.
Thanks for everything you’ve done with this app

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by separating the requested link rendering, award announcements, toolbar customization, and award-giving work, then trace the Android post and subreddit UI areas for each concern. Done would require agreed scope and separate verification for every requested behavior.
