^^ FWIW, the one-and-only reason “pull to X” exists as a thing is discoverability. Any other gesture and it would have to be a documented/hidden feature.

If I open a thread, and there's only like one unread post and I'm at the bottom of the thread, I can't scroll down. Like it stutters while I'm dragging down.

If you load a page with only 1 or 2 posts you have to drag up about 70% of the screen

Why was this added? Isn't there usually aversion to changing things like this?

In agreement that it has to be pulled further than I would reasonably be able to with one hand on the phone - which is better than it scrolling itself into the next page at a hairs touch.

But it is mostly unusable one handed where I am better off just pushing the arrow.

It would be cool if one day you could longpress someone's avatar in their profile page to save image/copy image URL :D it just gives the zoom in effect like you're highlighting text right now

Not perfect but you can long press on someone's avatar on their post, and then hit the share button.

But I agree it should work for the profile page as well.

Dude?
If I repeatedly reload a page that has Twitter embeds that don’t render will they eventually render properly or am I wasting time? Or is there some other thing I can do (clearing cache, logging in and out, etc) that will make them work? Some tweet heavy threads that unfortunately go on really stupid derails become hard to filter out the crap when the tweet posts just look like the rest while scrolling through.

My findings are that a page where tweets are broken will always be broken, whether you kill/restart the app or not, and the next page will probably work fine (in other words it’s not like a memory leak or a “tweets are poisoned now, bounce the app” condition).

Just keep browsing and leave that page for dead.

you have to start the drag from offscreen, which is getting harder to pull off as bezels get smaller

I feel like the drag size could be enlarged if possible? Like when I'm using the app there is no reason why I'd drag from left to right except to go back to the bookmarks page.

I have seen this far, far less in the most recent 3 betas, but before that I was seeing two different types of this

1. No links work, app crashes soon after

2. Some links work (actually, all links 'work' but they're not where they should be, if you click around the space that shouldn't be links enough you may find your intended destination)

I thought they were both the same as the display entirely breaking for portions of pages issue, because they would often accompany that

Interesting, I hadn't thought about any connection to memory pressure but that seems plausible. Something to keep in mind.

Also, is it possible to give a haptic mini vibration on trigger? That would really level it up.

I have not looked into it at all but I'm vaguely aware it's possible! Agree it'd be a nice addition. On the list it goes!

Nah it's on me, I decided to rush out a release without any semblance of testing beyond two seconds of "eh works ok on my device!". New beta coming shortly.

If any tweet on the page was subsequently deleted, it prevents others from loading. There's nothing you can reasonably do but wait for it to be fixed :( it is on the list though!

This is a quirk of the Forums: if you ignored someone before they became a mod/admin, you can't make any update to your ignore list without deleting them. Since you can't remove anyone from your ignore list within Awful (though it is on the list!), you'll have to log in via a browser and edit your ignore list there.

Out of curiosity, are PPJ's posts actually ignored for you?

Try prepending awful instead of replacing, like awfulhttps://forums.somethingawful.com/….

…though now that you mention it, there's no reason why we couldn't make it work with just awful://… too. So I'ma add that to the list!

(If you're curious, the reason iOS offers to open in Awful is because there is an awful:// URL scheme, but currently it only supports things like awful://bookmarks.)

I'll take a look. I'm frankly very impressed with that pan-from-right-edge-to-pop gesture, it's just kept on trucking despite being a bit of a hack (in the good way) on top of an iOS component that's seen significant changes.

Subjunctive posted:

That is not intentional. Seems like there's some investigating to do based on these last couple posts.

Maybe, but no promises. There's a good chance it'll always be a little bit finicky just because of how it's implemented.

I still think the pull to refresh distance was perfect before the last two updates. It still seems a bit large for my taste on the XS.

Edit: also “always preview posts” is getting you into a loop. There is no Post button when this option is enabled.

As long as it's a drag of a significant distance. An app I use on android has that feature from anywhere on the screen, but it works out that if there's more than a few pixels of left->right component at all then it goes back. Which sucks when you're scrolling down a small amount but don't do it completely vertically.

So just be careful with the implementation on this if you do it is all I'm saying.

If it doesn’t work from other apps you need to reset the universal link. You might be able to do it via long press, or scrolling down in safari and hitting the open button, but I think I had to uninstall twitter to fix it when I had the issue.
