Plaid, it's a dribble/designer news reader, and it's made by a guy at Google that does design or something like that. App is a showcase of animations and material design etc.
Linkme: Plaid

Now that you're looking at implementing the previously mentioned 'swipe to close image-viewer'-mechanism: wouldn't something similar work for closing a post and going back to the main list of posts?
Swiping right to go back feels very unintuitive in the new alpha version of Sync for Reddit, since tapping a card in the list of posts to open a post makes the card slide up. That transition seems to somehow trigger something in my mind that says 'Since opening a post made the card slide up, I can close the post by sliding the card back down again'. In its current form, opening a post is a vertical movement, while closing it is a horizontal movement, which appears to me as being a bit strange.
In my opinion, it would make more sense if a similar approach to Google Inbox (or Plaid) was taken in this case. A video of the navigation pattern / transition I'm referring to can be found here. This video was recorded in the iOS-version of the Inbox-app, but the transition is identical to the one found in the Android-version.
Edit: Hadn't thought of the fact that swipe to refresh wouldn't work if this were implemented. Hmm...
This theme was supposed to be included in my Stracta pack, but ultimately I wasn't happy with it and decided to release it in a regular way, on Reddit.
The whole thing is inspired by the Plaid app, a long forgotten testing field for Material design guidelines that tried to be for design what Reddit is (or is supposed to be) for news.
Resources:
- KLWP
- Wallpaper (I'm 100% sure it's from Unsplash but I can't find the original source)
- Image I used for the background of the mockup
- Roboto Mono
- Craftloop icons (deprecated by the author), now Iconoir
I suggest downloading Plaid. You'll find a lot of design inspiration from there.
