Is that what it was? The reload. Huh.

That's not so bad. I'm fine with just being able to start the app in landscape again.

On the plus side, when I reinstalled I forgot to reflexively set the browser setting to Safari and it seems like the built-in one is a lot better now. I switched over to using Safari when that option was added but I think I'll keep the Awful browser for now since it's a lot more convenient :toot:

Still having the crashing problems. Maybe a memory leak. Seems like it happens sometimes on pages with tweet embeds?

Is this on the trump thread? I've been seeing more frequent crashes too, I think the volume of twitter/image embeds there exacerbates the issue where the thread viewer always reloads from network 3 times.

Awful 3.17 is in the App Store but I keep getting an error message trying to update it. I'm posting this from my computer like a neanderthal.

This seems to have fixed itself? Unfortunately it's not something I have control over, as best I can tell.

I get a bug when I refresh my bookmarked threads only on my iPad Pro. The smiley face icon to indicate it's refreshing will keep bouncing forever until I terminate the app. Works fine on my iPhone though.

Is this still happening on Awful 3.17? Does it happen consistently for you? Anything you notice about what triggers it and what doesn't?

Actually an SFSafariViewController, so it's even more tied into Safari (cookies etc.) than that!

Weird indeed. Wonder if we've got a retain cycle somewhere holding on to a posts page with an embed on it or something.

By "webview" here do you mean the Awful Browser aka Safari View Controller?

Sorry for your loss. I wonder if it was related to the content of the post, or just some other coincidental fuckup. Either way, I'll check the crash logs!

Sorry about that. It's probably the most brought up issue around these parts. Someday…

Speaking of The List, combing through like 3+ years of backlog is pretty gross. Anyway, if anyone's looking for the TODO list, it's now in the repo proper (instead of a gist only I can edit, how thoughtful of me).

Who am I kidding, it's a completely unreadable list.

Audi famam illius;
Cucurrit quaeque
Tetigit destruens.



Just copied a quote link, switched to Messages and then back to Awful app, and immediately swiped back from the thread to my Bookmarks page. However Awful created the "Detected an SA link -- open it? Or ignore it?" modal dialog box at the same time. The result of which was Awful became entirely nonresponsive to touch till I force-quit it!


I didn't think to try rotating my phone to Landscape or whatever. Also note that I copied the SA link by long-pressing on the attribution link of a quote tag, which I think is why it made the modal dialog box -- usually I copy links to posts by tapping the unfilled "•••" ellipsis symbol at the bottom right of the post in question and hitting "Link" and selecting "Copy" from there.

I believe my usual method causes Awful to instantly recognize the link so it won't react specially if it later sees that same link in the clipboard. Whereas this unusual method appeared to bypass the "recognize on copy" behavior.

(Also I still want threads to open to the correctly-scrolled place when the app reopens after being evicted from memory!)
