@yarwest I wouldn't be surprised. It would be a great feature I think and all the data is there anyway

This is a could idea, thanks. We do have plans for better local caching and some stuff of that sort, so it would probably fit in with that.
I think it would require the addition of link data sent in the feed, but I don't think that would be too significant.
I'll see when we can get this in there but will definitely happen in the not-too-long future. -
@dfox That's great to hear! I love the community and site but the app needs a little more tlc for slow connections.

Request for DevRant android app:
Currently when I tap a rant on the feed I am greeted by an empty screen while it is loading all details. Usually I am on a slow mobile connection so this can take quite a while.
My suggestion is to load the rant text (and image) which you already have from the feed view into the newly created single rant view. This way I can already read and inspect the rant while loading the details.
One objection to this might be the truncated rants. However, when I checked the api when developing http://jsRant.com it turned out that the feed response isn't truncated at all. This is a ui thing, meaning that my suggestion could be implemented fully in the app without backend changes.
Please consider this suggestion @dfox or @trogus since it would make the app a lot more user friendly for those with a slow connection.
