So much grain this week, here's some of the hits!

Pushed out an update to testflight ✈️! Mostly a bunch of small fixes and polish. We also added favs to comments 💜 Hoping this will be one of the last releases before submitting to the app store. Let us know if you have any issues ✌️

- Alt text overlay now fades in/out smoothly and dismisses on page swipe - Alt text overlay is scrollable for long text on panoramic images - Description text is now also tappable to expand - Login input scrolls into view when keyboard appears

Fixes - EXIF section collapses when current photo has no metadata - Notification list refreshes when tab has unseen count

New Features - Appearance settings — choose between Auto, Light, and Dark mode - Comment favorites with notifications - Compact count formatting for large numbers (e.g. 1.2K) - VoiceOver accessibility labels across all views
