Feedback on loading (like a loading percent)

[iTrooz]

I think it would be nice to have some kind of feedback on image/video loading, like "5Mio/6Mio downloaded" or "85% loaded"

I may try to submit a PR for this, but as of now this is only a feature request.

What do you think ?

@iTrooz The question here is always if the api can give us information about it.
Can you find something?

Hum.. I'm not sure this one depends on the API
I was thinking more of a "downloaded bytes %" like we have on browsers. We wouldn't need any info from the Reddit API, since we would get this information directly from the HTTP client "what has been downloaded/what is the total file size ?"

@iTrooz I dont know if it is needed because no reddit normaly the videos are really small and therefore fast downloadable. This would just use extra power of the phone without a real need

I might be the only one to experience this, but several times a day I need to keep scrolling, or make a bet on when the image/video/gif will finally load, because it didn't load after 10 seconds and I don't know if it's close to finishing or if I need to wait a whole minute

At least an option turned off by default would be a huge help

Oh ok, then it would make sense for some people
