Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Frankly, I would consider this a problem. When using the reader, there is no space between the top text, and the edge of the screen. It also is frequently covered by the top 'chapter number' bar which is rather annoying to have to somehow hide each and every chapter.

Describe the solution you'd like There are a few solutions, but the one I'd like is a combination. Adding some padding to the top margin, and being able to disable the top chapter indicator. After so long, it bugs out anyway.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Increasing the padding so that it is below the chapter indicator
• putting the chapter indicator in line with the text, so the text stays below it -make it easier to hide the top bar

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

• Add Immutable annotation to UI models. Its for describing that the model wont change to the compose compiler, making it generate more optimized code. For this I replaced all var variables with val to guarantee this.
• Add UIUpdates UI model for pre-calculated time display This allows for the time string to be calculated outside the UI thread, since string formatting is expensive.
• Found a extra ComposeView lol
• Use Empty collections where possible I was seeing a lot of empty collections being made and each of those while dont take much space, have a location in memory. Using the empty collection functions removes those extra allocations.
• Improve performance of chapter lists by using pre-calculated values for the same reason I added the UI models.
• Dont remember derivedStateOf derivedStateOf needs to watch values outside the remember function, remembering a derivedStateOf only works if it can directly access the mutableStateOf of the variables
• Set MutableStateFlow.value instead of .emit MutableStateFlow is made for watching a state of a value, if you set .value it will first check if its equal to the last value and only emit the new value if its not(since it always emits the latest value on collect, and .emit doesnt set the value, it can emit a old value by accident). You shouldn't use .emit or .tryEmit on a MutableStateFlow, if you need a flow where you can emit independent of the previous value, while keeping track of the last value, you should be using a MutableSharedFlow with a replay value of 1.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. So if I am downloading a few novels with thousands of chapters and some chapters run into a download error (i.e. host not reachable for a time), the download queue is slightly overwhelming.

Describe the solution you'd like Please give us the possibility to cancel pending downloads, so that those chapters don't fill up the queue. Thanks!

Every few chapters, when I reach a new chapter, the new chapter only shows the loading symbol but doesn't load. To get past this, I close and reopen reading mode, which sometimes works, but sometimes the app crashes.

Something has been feeling off due to random blank spaces.

Turns out when a LN has a table the cells don't translate well.

Here it's used for item descriptions.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. E-Ink displays require specific support to work properly due to their very low refresh rates

Describe the solution you'd like

1. UI recognizing an E-Ink display
2. UI disabling animations and scrolling
3. UI providing buttons for animation / scrolling

Additional context I wish I had an e-reader now

Describe the bug "http://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/2714#note_1021641628".

Expected behavior The version-code of "http://github.com/shosetsuorg/shosetsu-preview" should be numerically greater than the version-code of "http://github.com/shosetsuorg/shosetsu".

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Ability to use the scrollbar within a chapter's reader view. Eg. similar to the scrollbar that the chapter list uses. Used for scrolling through a chapter easier.

Describe the solution you'd like Usable scrollbar within a chapter reader view. Similar to chapter list scrollbar

Describe alternatives you've considered I do not believe there is a sufficient alternative for this enhancement.

Additional context I believe this enhancement is sufficiently explained.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Occasionally, the UI seems slightly outdated to me.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like for Shosetsu to implement Material 3 to update the UI/UX design.

Describe alternatives you've considered Maybe update the UI/UX design in other ways

Additional context I believe the enhancement report is self explanatory.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Having the filter button disappear and appear constantly is slightly annoying and doesn't look very good in my opinion.

Describe the solution you'd like Have the filter button behavior change to scroll downwards will cause the filter button to disappear until next scroll upwards.

Describe alternatives you've considered I haven't really considered an alternate enhancement

Additional context I believe this enhancement is self explanatory.
