The scrolling also seems to be choppy, like a rogue thread or something in the background is hogging resources. Latest iOS.

Is it just when you’re at the bottom, like right after you tap "scroll to end"? Or do you get the chops throughout the page?

Re: scroll for next page, the current behavior using the app store version of the app on a 2018 ipad pro 11 is really good, I'm very happy with it. Earlier versions I'd go to the next page all the time before I was ready, sometimes when just whip-scrolling, so to speak. It's perfect now on my device. Just some positive feedback from me for once :v:

better waste some time with you
I use Awful with my iPad pro’s keyboard, tapping space to scroll. Sometimes when I use my finger to scroll, using the space bar afterwards doesn’t work properly: the screen jumps back and forth. Based on how it looks, I’d say that there’s some fling data from finger scrolling being applied even though the content has largely stopped moving.

I’m an Android developer, not iOS, but the way I’d describe it is that the scroll view should be resetting its fling data, once the view has stopped moving and has ‘settled’.

I think the pull to refresh feels good. Is it the same as it used to be?

With 40 posts, pulling up to go to next page feels a little higher than I like on my X, but there's no false positives, so I'm cool with it. Before, I was just setting it off all the time.
Is the pull up threshold code shared between pull to check for new posts and pull to next page?
I never pull up to see if there's new posts, which maybe is why I don't get bothered by that presumably higher pull distance.

I mentioned the spoilers text issue on a previous page and then I said it fixed when I reinstalled. It's broken again. I'm buying time at the hospital so I might just reinstall and then screen record and see if I can reproduce it breaking? Where should I send this recording?

Edit: I reinstalled and spoilers are fixed again. I screen recorded for a bit but couldn't break then again. Quite strange.

One thing I’ve noticed WRT the pull for next page distance issue is that if there is only one post on the page the pull distance is noticeably shorter

In other words if I load a bookmarked thread with 13 pages and page 12 loads with only one unread post

Lately some tap actions randomly stop working for me in this app. Tapping spoiler text doesn't reveal the text, and tapping people's avatars doesn't bring up the menu to check profile and rap sheet.

It's not always broken, the functionality seems to come and go and force closing the app doesn't fix it.

That sounds unfun, I'll add it to the list! And since I now have a keyboard for my iPad, I'd say the odds of it getting fixed have gone up dramatically!

No idea when it'll get implemented, but I'm trying to envision some UI for this. Maybe where the current (and frequently nonfunctional, I know) "filter tags" button is could become a lil row of buttons?

Are you on the beta? You should be able to go to the TestFlight app and install an older version.

If you're on the App Store version: probably can't re-release that far back, we gotta get this WKWebView poo poo figured out, sorry. I know it sucks.

This would rule. Maybe use take thread views over the last hour, then display any thread that’s spiking above some threshold. It’s either a glorious implosion or a good photoshop thread.

LeJackal isn’t, but communism bitch is, and so long as communism bitch is still on your ignore list you can’t make any changes.

To be fair, that’s really something that Awful should handle for you. But in the meantime, if you edit your ignore list in your browser and swap out communism bitch for LeJackal you should be all set.

Filling the Void with Chaos
Have a super annoying bug - seems to be impossible to log out and then log in with a different account - first, it will crash upon initial login attempt with second account. Then, sometimes I’m able to log in, other times, it will seemingly work, but it’s actually logged into the initial account, so posts end up on the wrong account if I don’t immediately notice.

When that happens, I can’t click on the settings inside awful, it crashes 100% of the time. So I have to uninstall and reinstall to switch accounts now :-(

I can’t get a recording of this when it’s happening and don’t seem to have a consistent fix (beyond rebooting the phone which fixes it ~80% of the time) but I strongly suspect it has something to do with returning to the app after a while when the app has kicked it from active memory. That re-load seems to be triggering the inability to click spoilers or the user menu for me.

Edit: Getting the app to re-load the same page seems to be toggling my ability to read spoilers/tap the user menu in both directions.
