Pipilo 17+

This update is all about notifications. Accessible from the bottom menu is a new notifications section where you can see everything that happened recently. The content is organized by days making it easier to see what happened each day. Additionally premium users can enable push notifications to receive them when not using the app.

Some notable changes were also made to the way how images and videos are displayed in the app. Now they take full available width and display alt-text inline. This should reduce the number of cases where it was necessary to tap on a image to view it correctly or read its description. Similarly layout of images when creating new posts with them was also improved.
