Bug fixes and performance improvements.

Fixed an issue that caused the subscription screen to be shown for users who are already members.

Fixed an issue that prevented setting the archived date when editing an item, causing it to not appear as the last archived item when viewing the archived items.

Improved the looks of the tags on the list of items.

This release includes some tweaks to the UI to remove some cruft, and should make browsing the lists a bit snappier. You can now store unlimited links for free, there's not that limitation anymore. And for those of you who don't like subscriptions, I've added an option for a one time payment!

In 3.1 I've fixed an issue to make sure that the action extension always appears on the share sheet.

If you're enjoying using Abyss, rating it on the App Store is hugely appreciated it.

Some of you suggested that tags should be in-line when saving a new link instead of being on a different screen to save up some time. I completely agree, and that is what has changed in this update.

On a future update you'll be able to change the sorting of the tags, stay tuned!

Fixed a very rare launch time crash.
