If I was to rewrite @IceCubesApp timeline I would adopt the official @Mastodon app behaviour. Load the 20 newest posts, and have a button to load the gap. Would people be ok with that?
@dimillian this would definitely break the way I use @IceCubesApp but there are lots of clients out there and I'm sure some of them will keep supporting folks like me who read the whole timeline in chronological order... do you keep metrics on how often people press "refresh" vs "resume" today?
