You’d have a hard time convincing me that the leper’s colony icon was self documenting, at the very least. It’s also not the standard icon I think of for bookmarks, but I may be a few OS visual refreshes behind.

The font size and/or kerning is hosed though, can’t argue that. I’ll look into it.

I won't argue those icons immediately represent the areas of the app. I will argue the learning curve is less than 1 minute and is worth the lifetime of a cleaner app appearance. It's okay if things are a sliver discoverable.

The Dave posted:I won't argue those icons immediately represent the areas of the app. We had this discussion ages ago and I agree. Lepers is the trouble icon. And there isn't an easy representation of lepers or what the lepers colony is that will translate as far as I know. Without the label of a new user might assume it's deleted messages or something. In saying that, the lepers colony can't be used that much, can it? Like it isn't a key feature that if people can't find it straight away breaks the app experience. I feel like hitting the trash can once and reading the top of the screen is easy enough for what I see as a niche feature.

Yeah just anything silly, they tap it once and go “oh ok” and never go there again and the ui is way cleaner.

What about this? A prison window. If you want to try plugging it in I've put it in the Lepers folder. e: also you can't expand images full screen at all this new beta. Or look at spoilers. spanky the dolphin fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Nov 4, 2018 |

The Dave posted:I won't argue those icons immediately represent the areas of the app. I need a more compelling reason than "a cleaner app appearance" if we're going to go against platform conventions and remove functionality (however small that functionality may be). If we have a better use for that space, or if they interfere with someone's use of the app, then I'm game. That said, ianad, and I could be missing something here. spanky the dolphin posted:In saying that, the lepers colony can't be used that much, can it? Like it isn't a key feature that if people can't find it straight away breaks the app experience. I feel like hitting the trash can once and reading the top of the screen is easy enough for what I see as a niche feature. I don't have any data, but I suspect it is not used very often. If/when we add a feature that makes any sense as a tab, that new feature will surely replace the Leper's Colony. I'm not sure what that feature might be though. SAclopedia? Search might deserve its own tab, though when I envision adding search to the app it ends up in contextually relevant places like the top of a thread list or as a toolbar button in the posts view. spanky the dolphin posted:What about this? I like that Leper's Colony icon. Expanding images and revealing spoilers should be fixed in the current beta, build 34301.

spanky the dolphin posted:On the latest beta if I tap a tweet I'm no longer taken to it. I can still hit the tweeters user name to go to their account though. I was poking at this, and if you tap the date in the tweet it'll load the tweet in Twitter.app/MobileSafari.app. The only alternative I can think of is to put an element overtop the whole tweet and swallow all taps, which would probably break e.g. videos. So it's not great but I think leaving it as-is is the way to go. If anyone has any thoughts for dealing with click events in an iframes from a different domain, though, I'm interested!

If we have a better use for that space, or if they interfere with someone's use of the app, then I'm game. A cleaner app appearance means less visual clutter, which means less noise to draw your eyes to, gives more focus to the content that should be in focus. It sounds like a visual design only call but it has subtle affects on visually parsing a page. If you look at some of the native first party apps (safari, mail) or some of the most used third party apps (facebook, instagram, twitter, linkedin, slack) you'll see them do the same. When you main content to consume is text, it better serves that content to not have competing text elements. To be honest I'm not super passionate about this, I just think it's a nicer/better direction.

The labels are essential wasted space after the first 15 seconds imo. Even a few pixels more of threads at least serve some purpose

I miss the old pull distance. Depending on how many posts are visible it can now be more than a full swipe with my large thumb on my 6S+. Did the “only count the pull if the view was already at the bottom” idea have some issue with it?

Perhaps the best compromise is the way that Chrome handles it, where you pull to refresh but you need to hold it for a second

It sounds like a visual design only call but it has subtle affects on visually parsing a page. Safari and Mail have never had a tab bar though? The built-in apps that do, like App Store, Clock, Files, Home, and Music, all show titles in their tab bars. App Store especially just got redesigned to much fanfare, so if no titles was the way to go we would’ve seen it there. That makes sense about competing with the main content text. That’s why we hide the tab bar in the posts view, right? quote:To be honest I'm not super passionate about this, I just think it's a nicer/better direction. I’m kinda fighting here using you as the representative for an app design trend I don’t like, which isn’t super fair. 101 posted:The labels are essential wasted space after the first 15 seconds imo.

I like the "Copy Title" button on thread listings (including the icon!), but could you add some similar functionality when you're already viewing a single thread? Like adding the same "itt..." button within the share thread menu form the bottom-right ⬆️-button -- or take a page from embedded-Safari where a long-press on the disabled URL field opens a "copy" button box. Or both! Both would also be nice 👍 Another request I have is to restore the simple "Open" button when you long-press on a link! It would make it easier to open the right link just in Awful App when it's small and surrounded by other links. I believe the current behavior depends on your Default Browser preference, where "Awful" means the long-press-link menu shows only "Open in Safari", while "Safari" means the long-press-link menu shows only "Open in Awful", but I miss the simple "Open" button that just matches a simple tap on a link behavior using the Default Browser. Like a situation like this, where you want the "#" link: how the mighty have fallen # oh nooooooooooooooooo

The open-internal button would also help when the app goes numb to link clicks, though that hasn't happened to me much (at all?) since Pokey slayed that memory leak.

101 posted:While there's a lot of discussion the app going forward here I'd still love an OLED true black mode Since we are talking about requests, I would like to mention having the option for when you start scrolling in a long thread the ui fades away. Similar to how scrolling works in the safari app.
