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.

Only put the good ones on the keyboard.

At least the emoji icons are all the same size. :v:

I'm sure we can figure something out. But it's a good warning that it'll probably be a trickier project than it may seem at first blush.

It's strange, it was acting a bit slower than usual with refreshing last night after I updated it, and this morning around the time I posted here. As of now I'm playing with the app and it seems to be operating much better. It was the only complaint I've had of upgrading, your app working well was of greater concern to me than any of Apple's changes :).

I'd love to see stats on smiley usage stats on this site. I imagine the curve for most of them shows a huge spike when new then a long tail as it fades into disuse, but I'm sure there's a percentage of the popular ones that maintain a constant usage.

But it's possible I'm a nerd and no one else cares about that.

But if I ran the site that's what I would do to decide which ones to retire. :v:

Including a "recently used" and/or "favourites" tab on the smiley keyboard seems pretty obvious. I don't envision most people wandering through page after page of smileys with any frequency.

That's interesting, I wasn't going to say anything until this post but a weird thing has been happening for me since upgrading to 8.

Awful works as great as it usually does on the mobile network, but on my wifi actions like refreshing my bookmarks or loading a thread take a long time or time out entirely. And then it will be fine for a brief time before happening again.

It may be that iOS 8 doesn't like something I have set on my wifi (I've tried on both my 2.4 and 5GHz APs) but other other apps are fine. I have completely removed and re-downloaded the app, I even tried a full iphone restore, thinking that the update may have screwed something up. No idea. I'll test on someone else's wifi when I can.

That's happening on my home wifi as well, I thought it was just local congestion.

I wondered that but seems unlikely since there are few wifi networks around my place. I've tried on multiple frequencies and on both N and AC, and Internet-wise I'm on 100mb NBN :rice:

I guess I've seen some of that too. Network requests that never seem to do much of anything, be it drop or error out or complete. Pulling for a refresh then succeeds instantly. I'll try to keep an eye out and figure out what to do about it.

Those network hangs have been around for a long, long time. Cellular or wifi, it's always been there.

My only beef is that re-attempting the load doesn't cancel the original and eventually the error box pops up.

I can never decide if they actually come and go or if I just get used to them after awhile. Plus my wifi does seem to genuinely poo poo the bed sometimes. All I can say is if y'all keep complaining then eventually something will happen!

And the cancelling thing has been something I've wanted to do for awhile now, and I know how I'm gonna approach it, just gotta do it.

Yeah some thread tags might look rough but I have a plan. For now (the ones remaining) I just ran a script to resize them to 400x400 and save them:


Took about 30 seconds and I just sat back and sipped a coffee. A lot of the text will resize great, none of the images will, curious how it will look. Things that look really bad I'm hoping we can do on a case by case and either redo the assets or use a sharpen filter.

The auto PDF scaling thing iOS8 is doing is interesting, I'm skeptical but I'd need to read the article about it first.

I'd pay a couple bucks for one, actually. A friend of mine lurks SA and we'll sometimes just text emote codes to eachother. We know what they mean, but actually being able to use the emotes would be killer.

I initially thought that .gif keyboard would allow you to import your own and was psyched to be able to text :spergin: and :colbert: and :smuggo: to non-SA users. SA really has the best emotes.

So yeah, I for one would drop about $2.99 on an iOS Awful Emoji keyboard.

My impression is that they're less common these days.. like in the last 6-9 months or so. Not really worth complaining about. The pre-iOS7 era was terrible for it, so I guess that means the networking code has improved over time. :v:

A lot of the buttons are broken in iOS 8. I believe the update to fix it has been submitted though, so it's just up to Apple now.

I think he meant full screen mode as in hiding the toolbar and nav bar when reading a thread, and if that's in the next version you've hidden it pretty well :)

It's "Waiting for Review". Based on past reviews I'd guess late next week.

Yeah I meant as in the navbar and other ui being hidden. It's weird but with a larger phone I want even more minimal ui space. It's hard to explain.

I think I remember that you used to be able to pinch and the app would hide the ui. That would be cool.

It makes sense. I'd like to have it on my iPad, especially now that Safari shrinks its toolbar. The code is just such a pain to put together.

I've only noticed Awful blocking the music or podcasts app after playing an embedded YouTube video, swapping over to the player app to restart the audio, then swapping back to Awful. Moving to a different page or a different thread before restarting the audio is my workaround.

The youtube app started doing this a couple months ago. It's goddamn infuriating because the only way to get my music to start playing again is to go into the Music app.

Point being this may not be an awful app problem.
