I'll make a new beta (and release candidate I guess) build in a few hours with whatever's on master branch.

Let's see if I can articulate this well. I'm getting a crash any time a text editor comes up (edit, reply, quote) if I have already replied, edited, or quoted once in a session of using the app. Then when I relaunch the app it starts me at the thread I was viewing directly before I views the one I'm replying to. I post a reply to the formula 1 thread just fine. I then go back to bookmarks, read the Forza Motorsport 6 thread, and post a reply. As soon as the editor comes up to type my reply into the app crashes. When I restart the app I'm back in the formula 1 thread. It's happened with the last few betas. I'm using iOS 9.0.1 on an iPhone 6S but I saw the same thing on the 6+ last week.

Two usability suggestions: * Add an option to convert any gif URL in an img/timg tag to a URL tag instead. I think even an iPad Pro would be murdered trying to view animated gifs. A pro enhancement to this would be to detect that it's hosted on Imgur/Gifycat/whatever and make the URL point to the HTML5 version. (I don't know how that would work with static gifs, but do people still use those?) * Fix up the image viewer. I hate how it doesn't resize the image when you rotate your phone. Also, closing the viewer is infuriatingly hard and I end up frantically pounding the close link to kill the drat thing. The Twitter app has a wonderful image viewer; if it could work as well as that I would be ecstatic.

Having an html5 gif on screen at all in every app I've ever used stops my music or AirPlay session and makes me loving insane. It's not a problem the app can solve, it's a hosed up iOS thing, but if we starting autoloading .gifv I'd probably stop using the app entirely.

It's actually one of a few reasons I haven't gone back to Tweetbot.

I can't use the Facebook app at all while air playing anything because as soon as one of those loving videos shows up it stops everything. Regardless, something to think about if we're talking html5.

I just want a music/podcast player that won't ever get cut off. I know it's possible, I've got a sleep sounds app called Sleep Genius that keeps playing no matter what else happens. Is there really no music app that'll do the same? So tired of other apps getting to shut off my audio. E- wait this isn't the iOS apps thread, my bad.

I wouldn't mind being able to optionally embed .gifv videos as the H.264 video link from imgur or Gfycat, if those supported embedding. Hell, I'd even like it if mobile data mode could automatically proxy large GIFs through Gfycat or Imgur. I don't know if Imgur has deduplication, but Gfycat does. It should be possible to embed a video player that doesn't interrupt audio playback, since these videos usually don't have audio. Most of the crap embedded on Facebook has audio, and I don't know if they even provide a way for their app to not auto play videos. Maybe try the Paper client instead?

I wrote some code to only show a still frame for Imgur GIFs until you tap on them. Once you tap on them it will load the normal GIF, not the MP4, so it won't interfere with background audio. Needs testing and probably some tweaking, but it seems to make GIF-heavy threads much more readable to me.

I accidentally turned images off and it was kind of nice. The only problem was there was no indication if an image link was something that was going to expand in the app, or a link someone posted that would open in the web view.

It should be fairly trivial to show some kind of image icon next to linkified images. The hardest part should be coming up with the right icon.

The Dave posted:That still loads the entire gif before stopping it. No it doesn't. It only fully loads the animation when you click the play button. In my app, on the first page of the PYF GIF thread, with the library on, I get around 190 MB of memory used. Without it, It goes to around 500 MB. That, or the visual studio resource manager is lying to me, or the webview in WinRT is wacky. The former could be true, the latter totally is.

It's almost certainly retrieving the full image file, but not decoding it. You can easily test: wait for the page to finish loading, go into airplane mode, and see what happens when you click the play button. E: it removes the image from the document after snapping the first frame or so, but in Chrome and Firefox the full image is downloaded per the network logs.

Well yeah, that's what I meant  .Of course it downloads the full gif. All I meant was that it didn't autoplay it (meaning, didn't load the animation into memory until you hit the play button). That's all I was concerned about for my app, since that's where a good portion of memory issues come up; actually playing the animation, not downloading it in the first place. Of course, I could be misinterpreting what the webview is doing with the gifs, but my memory stats with my app should be right.  edit: I could have also read more about the situation you guys are having with gifs in the first place before I gave my input. Puppy Galaxy posted:Peek/pop for threads when you're viewing the list. first post or whatever post you left off on if you've already viewed it.  I put in a pull request for it here. I'm still plugging away at making it suck less, but I don't really know swift and really don't get objective c.

I'm probably missing major stuff though, so maybe you can do it and I don't see it? I don't know

I've been trying to do that, but I can't find any event handler I can tap into. I can't find anything in the docs about it, other than allowing the web view to do 3D touch at all. My hope would have been to use that event handler for when the user did touch on the link, then run the same code that already handles URLs to figure out where it needs to go, but then show that view controller in the preview view controller before popping it up.  I've closed and reopened my PR so it comes from a feature branch (before it was from master, because I thought I would not want to add more features. I was wrong ) and I might add option overflows to that preview view too. The same ones you would get if you long pressed on the thread.Edit: And now I added them

I'm currently using 3.6 in landscape mode but the app is displaying as if I am holding the iPad in portrait mode; that is, the bottom is off the screen and there is a vertical bar to the right with nothing in it, although the keyboard is working correctly for landscape. If I unlock rotation and turn the iPad, the top right corner now lines up correctly but the rest of the screen is in landscape layout and falls off the left side of the screen. I was in locked landscape and switched to a browser then back again, and when I got back the awful app had switched to being in portrait. I'm going to close/open the app and I expect this should fix things. Can't tell if this is a known bug or not it's pretty hard to navigate everything while it's stuck like this so apologies if this is a repeat. Thanks for putting a direct link to this thread in the app, I would have had trouble getting here otherwise.
