The app crashes if you open the side menu and are auto banned. I don't know if being banned also affects it. However this means you can't log out of your banned account. I assume this has to do with the avatar preview (because it can't log in to see it, or because auto banned accounts still have their original avatar until they re reg)

I just pushed a branch that adds support for a Use Small Fonts global setting, so far only affecting PostsView. I'll get it working for thread view at least (and maybe forum list and sidebar?) and then submit a pull request. It also makes some other CSS tweaks to shrink things down a bit, so maybe it should be called Use Compact UI instead? Or I could roll back those changes, but then short posts look like they're floating in a sea of white. Edit: I actually only pushed the font size adjustment for postbody, it seems. Which is good, because the other CSS makes avatars HUGE, and has some other grossness. I'll try to fix that up tonight. Edit edit: or maybe trunk just has enormous avatars itself, because even without my CSS tweaks they're ALL THE BIG. Subjunctive fucked around with this message at 00:41 on May 2, 2014 |

I guess my question would be is that really better than offering the font size slider in the app settings so people have options?

We could, though I think it'll be hard to make it look good at arbitrary scale and still be legible. F.e, if you set it to 50%, postbody is quite small, but regdate/postdate are functionally illegible. Do you think it's really important that people be able to select arbitrary gradations? It's not hard to do technically if people really want a straight font-size slider, but I remember trying to make Firefox UI be nice across a variety of font scales, and it was sort of sucky. I figured people really wanted a way to say "I have good eyes, make the content dense", but I can go the other way if that's what we decide.

It's really hard to make that choice with actual user statistics, but the vibe I got was different people used different settings. I would just make it exactly like the old app handled it. I know one guy used that on the absolute lowest setting which is batshit crazy but users gonna be users.

It only touched the post content. So the name, postdate, and post. Would be cool if it affected the thread/bookmark listings too.

Resizing postdate and name doesn't change how many posts fit on the screen, because the header is dominated by the avatar, and the footer is dominated by the ellipsis menu. But it could be aesthetically nicer to do all of them, along with regdate. Thanks, I'll give it a whirl.

I think I even set the maximum to whatever fit a single letter on the screen, because I'd read about someone who actually did that so their terrible vision was useful again. I admire your hesitancy in allowing people to set ridiculous, seemingly illegible font sizes. I think if we make everything look alright at the default size and the next few up and down, it's ok if more extreme sizes don't work as well. If you really want to blow people's minds (?), reuse the defaults key from before and Awful will magically remember people's old font size. edit: Here's the commit where I took out the font size setting. If you make it work like that that'd be fantastic. pokeyman fucked around with this message at 07:06 on May 2, 2014 |

If I keep any other compacting changes, I'll just turn them on below 80% or some threshold that I choose in a drunken stupor. I haven't thought at all about bigger text, but I wonder how many such people need more than the system dynamic text sizing provides. VoiceOver is probably the right path there, but it took me an hour to find my typo in the iOS "to-do list" tutorial today, so I'm trying to be conservative.

Actually we should think about what to do with Dynamic Type. Ignore it completely and just use our setting? Compound our setting with Dynamic Type, so e.g. a small Dynamic Type setting plus a large Awful Font Size setting ends up a wash? Setting to use one or the other? Use Dynamic Type for outside the posts view and Awful Font Size for the posts view (this is probably the wrongest answer)? I'm kind of in favour of bailing completely on Dynamic Type, especially if our font size setting applies globally. VoiceOver is meant to work in Awful, but if we're going to (re)do a font size setting we might as well make it work for everyone. I guarantee someone will pump up the size enough to turn a thread into single letter flash cards.

Digging this up from pages back.. I started on this and the bigger thread tags look far better, but had you thought about how the single tap interaction would work for posting a new thread in Ask/Tell or SA Mart where we have secondary tags? Also, where is the blue checkmark icon used currently?

I'm sort of liking the broken avatars on iPhone. Only problem I have is a lotta goons got hosed up avs and I'm on this app in public all the time. Froist posted:Digging this up from pages back.. I started on this and the bigger thread tags look far better, but had you thought about how the single tap interaction would work for posting a new thread in Ask/Tell or SA Mart where we have secondary tags? I can design a look tonight where essentially you would have a row above the tags where you pick buying/ selling. Probably look a lot like the theme picker. The blue checkmatk is in the native photos app when you mass select images. But I guess I'd have to make one with our shade of blue. I have a lot of dead time this weekend. I'm running a 10mile race on Sunday so I'm basically doing nothing strenuous tonight / tomorrow night. I have a lot of awful big picture design ideas I'd love to mock up, anyone have anything they'd really like to see? I was thinking of tackling either search, archives, or tabs / read later. Just design though

Also I just had a weird feature request that may not be possible: Some sort of smilie auto fill or smilie insertion after you enter the tag and you're still typing. We use slack at work for IMing and it's a nice little feature.

Yeah the padding is definitely missed. I think I have another dev feature request: Could it be coded so the clock icon next to the post date is colored according to that text color, instead of maintaining different images and relying on the image to have the right color?

We want a slider that just does post-text scaling first (quotes are fine I think), and then something global to replace Dynamic Text after that? Do we want to generally compact the UI for posts, or only < 80% scale factor, or not at all?

It'll probably be a stepper rather than slider, since I think otherwise we will destroy some OCD people as they try to get it back to exactly 100% (and UIKit doesn't provide a discrete slider, and I don't think I want to write one). I need to munge the SettingsViewController to let me put a label next to the stepper, so expect some dumb-looking diffs until I figure out proper UIKit etiquette. Edit: Hitting "Leper Colony" on master is tripping this assertion. NSParameterAssert(user.userID.length > 0 || user.username.length > 0); page=1, user=nil. Haven't looked into it at all.

So I quick new look for tag picking / posting a thread: I don't see any need for the "Pick" button. In the case of SA-Mart, it would auto close when the second object is chosen. I would also maybe make it so that row with the buying/selling badges stays fixed and just the tags scrolled below it. I would also make "Subject..." just a placeholder that gets replaced with the subject text.

I just use the Title as a format string (@"Font Scale: %d%%") and inject the value in there. Looks OK. Trying to figure out where in the stepper->viewController->settings I'm losing the value, then I should be ready for review. Do we have a text fixture for the Leper's Colony? I think we might be misparsing.
