creeds's Issues

Timeline View to show all the creeeds?

List UI Design: https://www.justinmind.com/blog/list-ui-design/

Sticky Timeline: https://github.com/sangcomz/StickyTimeLine

Timeline: https://github.com/vipulasri/Timeline-View

The point of having a timeline would be to move the date information out of the list item, so I would leave towards the Sticky Timeline.

Show proof texts!

Figure out how to optionally display proof texts when the document has an option for it and the user wants to see them

Look into making font size adjustable

Adjusting font and light/dark theme are a couple common settings that a user may want to set. Finding out how to do that would be very helpful.

Add app to F-Droid store

Since there is not a Creeds app in the F-Droid store yet, this app would be a great addition to this collection of FOSS apps.
