I feel like it should only take effect if you're at the bottom of the page and not currently scrolling. How hard would that be to detect and implement? My only problem with pull-for-next-page is when I'm cruising down to the bottom of the page and accidentally swipe up because I either still have scroll momentum going or I'm on autopilot and hit the bottom half a second ago.

Data Graham posted:I feel like it should only take effect if you're at the bottom of the page and not currently scrolling. How hard would that be to detect and implement? That makes sense, but I'm not much of an iOS developer, so I honestly don't know how hard it would be. I'm a front-end web developer who can figure out just enough of what's going on in the app's codebase to occasionally contribute some more straightforward changes. In my admittedly limited and unscientific testing, just increasing how far you have to scroll past the bottom seems to have made it way harder to accidentally trigger it while scrolling. I'd still like to see how other people feel after they try it, but to me it feels like this simpler approach might solve the problem.

Did something get flipped/stop working in the latest version of Awful, I wonder? When iOS 11 came out and used smart quotes by default system-wide, we put in some sort of change to go back to dumb quotes in Awful, but I'm wondering if that isn't working/regressed...

People are also talking about it in the Awful for Android thread and the QCS Technical thread, so I don't think it's an issue with the app.

anthonypants posted:Could the app be modified to send HTML-encoded aliases for unicode characters? That’s what it does now  learned that the hard way.Something changed on the website, and it’s probably going to be fixed on the website, so I’m happy to just let it ride for a bit. Even if we worked around it in the app, it’d still be broken for website users and it’d be re-broken when the website got fixed. Irrelevant fun fact: last I checked, the Forums sends a content-type header that indicates iso-8859-1 but the contents are actually windows-1252. Those two character sets are almost but not quite compatible with one another. So many sites gently caress(ed) that up that the html standard says "if a website claims to be iso-8859-1, don’t believe it and just parse it as windows-1252 instead". Also JSON is not a subset of JavaScript. Ok that’s enough things I learned by loving then up working on Awful. Let’s just say I sympathize with whoever’s trying to straighten out this mess.

Subjunctive posted:Wait, what? The site accepts raw HTML and doesn�t encode it itself? The newreply endpoint expects win1252 so anything outside of that gets turned into a numeric entity per the html spec. anthonypants posted:When I go to the desktop site and type in & rsquo ; I get the ’ character, so I assume the app isn't doing that I hadn’t thought about mitigating it by sending a named entity when possible, that’s a cool idea! You’re right of course, Awful turns them into numeric entities. I’m guessing numeric entities get processed somewhere server-side (maybe turned into utf-8 before getting stored in the db?), whereas named entities aren’t processed so they're making the round trip unscathed. As cool as that workaround is, I don’t think it’s worth doing in this case. Hopefully it gets fixed soon server-side.

So I wrote up a lil description of how ignoring quotes might work, in case anyone's curious and/or feeling industrious. Please call this the 'fishmech filter' when implemented.

Just an update to help Pokeyman track the issue - the grey bar hasn't come back since I reinstalled without changing the icon. Come to think of it, the bottom grey bar I was getting in my old 8 was on an app with a changed icon too. The issues might be linked?

Feature request: how about not showing the unread indicator if it’s 0? Way easier to tell if I’m caught up if there’s simply nothing there as opposed to a digit that might be a 6 or a 3 or something if I’m glancing or scrolling.

Well what view are we talking about? The 0 serves as a “I read this” indicator on the forums tab. New posts show in a light blue number which I agree could blend in with white. However there’s a difference there between 0 and no 0. Now on bookmarks you’ll always have a number, and maybe that’s stupid, but it’s because you’ve usually read everything you’ve bookmarked. Unread counts are in orange, but now that I’m typing it out is that a setting you need to set on the desktop site?

I'm talking about the bookmarks view. Desktop site, the indicators for "there are unread posts" and "there are no unread posts" are extremely different in shape yet still give you a control for marking unread, etc.

The 0 often reminds me I've looked at a thread and not bookmarked it. It does surface information to the user

I generally use the bookmarks view exclusively. So there are two main use cases here, and an indicator should ideally work well for both. How about if the 0 were just in a light gray instead of black? I realize I'm apparently doubly an outlier here (1. bookmarks-only viewer and 2. colorblind), but graying-out of features has always suited my personal tastes well.

Oh I think you’re totally justified and I actually spend a lot of my day job now making sure components follow good accessibility guidelines. I also didn’t even have the foresight to think you were in the light theme because I’m exclusively dark. There’s no good reason it can’t be like #767676 which I think is the lightest you can go and still be AA compliant.
