Mad Wack posted:At some point pokeyman posted a little guide to using voiceover with Awful.app - can you repost it? I'm driving a lot now for work and I'd love a way for awful to read me shitposts while I commute. It's not Awful-specific but I think I posted this guide awhile back.

The soccer ball next to the grenade does not look great. I'm not even sure what the soccer ball is supposed to be for, to be honest.

Hmmm. The soccer balls shouldn't actually be there anymore, as of 18 days ago. I await Pokeyman's insight into what's going on.

Maybe it's in an update you won't see until you upgrade your device to iOS 8.

Nope. The soccer ball icons come from a CSS file hosted at awfulapp.com, which should allow us to make those kind of changes independently of app updates. Those soccer balls should have disappeared for everyone within no more than a couple of days of when I removed them from that CSS.

All I can think of is that downloading the updated stylesheet is failing for some reason, so the cached copy never gets overwritten. I think I'm doing the Etag/Last-Modified dance properly there, but maybe not? The hosted stylesheet looks correct. Currently, the cached stylesheet does not get deleted when logging out. I think that was intentional because it's not user-specific data. (I'm the one who decided that, I just don't remember exactly why.) Same idea with the downloaded thread tags: no point deleting it between users, as it's application data. Unfortunately, that means there's no way to delete that cache short of uninstalling the app (or filling up your device, I guess). Here's the code for the stylesheet downloader if anyone's curious. Diabolik900 posted:Those soccer balls should have disappeared for everyone within no more than a couple of days of when I removed them from that CSS. No more than an hour, in theory. (I set it so frequently because it'll return a 304 almost all the time, so it's a tiny request/response.)

I'm guessing the answer to this is a "no" but is there any way that you can have links that point to SA open in the app? I get messages from some of my goon friends linking me to specific threads sometimes, and it kind of sucks that I have to open them in a browser instead of the app just opening.

If you copy the link to the clipboard and then open Awful, I believe it goes there.

You have a couple of options. If you turn "http://whatever" into "awfulhttp://whatever" it'll open in Awful. The other (usually easier) one is Subjunctive posted:If you copy the link to the clipboard and then open Awful There's no way to do exactly what you want, it's an iOS restriction.

The clipboard thing will do, thanks, had no idea about it. That seems like something Apple should allow to me, and now that there are custom keyboards on iOS is the only thing that I think Android still has over iOS.

With the Handoff stuff that went into iOS 8, you can reliably determine which app should be allowed to deal with whatever URL domain, so I think it's now feasible technically for them to implement. Whether it'll actually happen is another story.

Just updated to iOS 8, and none of the link options do anything: long press then chrome/safari/copy URL, similarly with the share menu from the internal browsers.

Awful app works with every feature working normally, but I'm really not digging its refresh time now, compared to before I updated it to iOS 8 version.

Nonsense posted:Awful app works with every feature working normally, but I'm really not digging its refresh time now, compared to before I updated it to iOS 8 version. What do you mean? I don't think I've done anything to slow down refreshing, but I haven't done any profiling so I can't say that for sure.

Man, there's 710 smilies on the forum these days. Getting all those organized into categories and fit into a tiny iOS keyboard is gonna be a colossal effort. Not to mention what that's going to do for the size of the app or if all of those have to be cached in memory for the keyboard to work. At least the emoji icons are all the same size.
