Hey carry on then, I went after my next target on the pointless Objective-C eradication tour (AwfulSettings) and I suspect it'll make a bit of a mess of your OLED theme branch when you merge/rebase it in. I'm more than happy to help sort out any conflicts (including doing the merge or rebase for you  ), just holler at me if I can be of assistance!The man called M posted:“Filter by tag is still broken.” Yeah  always happy to +1 it for ya!Warbird posted:Life is good. No good? jit bull transpile posted:handoff should probably be off by default. my phone keeps trying to hand off sa threads to my work computer That's a good call, kinda mad it didn't occur to me. I've always figured that if we add e.g. private message notifications that it'd be off by default, for the same reason. Dumb Lowtax posted:2. Is there any support for embedded mp4's from imgur in posts? I installed the app specifically because these common mp4 videos wouldn't embed on iOS Chrome like they do on Windows Chrome, but it was a vain attempt, the Awful app still doesn't embed them (although they do show up as links, which is a step up from iOS Chrome which shows them as non-interactive still images) There is not, but I can add it to the to do list! Crime on a Dime posted:Feature request: allow uploading images as attachments to the forums post I do think there's value in supporting this (despite the lovely ergonomics, the one-image-per-post limit, the inability to edit) because archived or goldmined posts should theoretically have their attachments intact, whereas anonymous Imgur uploads can disappear. Happy to +1 it on the list. But it's not super high on my priority list because Imgur uploads are a thing and they're better in every other way. Dumb Lowtax posted:Anyone able to browse all the mp4s posted in some threads with the app? I'm not sure I'm following you here. Would this be some kind of button you could press to scroll or swipe through all the mp4s linked/embedded in the thread?

The_Doctor posted:With imgur uploads still being iffy, I use the imgur app, and then copy the direct link to my posts. Could there be a [timg] tags option when you enter the [img] submenu to avoid having to go back and type the ‘t’ for every one? Yeah, that's easy to add. (Doesn't mean it'll happen on any particular timeline, but it's a good idea!) Also, are Imgur uploads still iffy? Hoping they're a lot better in the current version. Let me know if it's still busted.

A small issue though: It seems like previously stickied threads remains on the top (in Fyad at least) for some time. Not a big deal but can be confusing. Yeah this can be a pain, sorry about that. It's on my list. It's a bit weird because there's three states – sticky, not-sticky, or Awful can't figure it out – and the last two are indistinguishable. At the time I think I leaned towards "well if we're not sure, don't change anything", but in hindsight it would be better to go the other way and just set a thread not-sticky if that's our guess. I don't know if that makes any sense, and it doesn't help solve the problem, but I figure it's sometimes interesting hearing about why things are weird so there we go. Stringent posted:Something I've always loved, but basically just take for granted now is the posting flow. Sending ppl into the preview before posting was a genius design decision. I like it too. We added a setting pretty early to turn it off, but I've always left it on. If I remember, I think we did it this way by default because a) gotta put the preview somewhere, and b) we were worried that shitposts would be even lower quality on a phone, so in an attempt to be a good citizen we figured Awful should show you your bullshit before you show it to everyone. Subjunctive posted:I never used alternate themes because I am pure of blood and mind, but I haven’t had spoiler issues in quite a while, other than the fact that I sometimes need to tap a few times. Maybe I am a very bad tapper, but maybe there’s a target location/size/pattern issue? I’m can’t explain any of it. I run into some occasional spoiler issues (and only spoilers, not author headers or ⋯ action buttons) and I think it's because there's a weird lil dead zone between consecutive lines of spoilers. Also in general the hitbox is probably just too small. I'll make a note.

Now that the crusade for fixed spoilers is complete, can I ask you to look into this little niggling issue one more time? I think it’s my only remaining issue with the app. You guys do awesome work!Data Graham posted:I saw someone else mention it, so +1 on that thing where when you’re scrolling down a thread, it will occasionally go into this weird state where it forces the view to slowly scroll upward while simultaneously moving the toolbar (with “scroll to end” and “parent forum”) into view. If you scroll manually while it’s doing this, the whole view shudders as it fights you.

Come to think of it, is the page advance tied to the CSS in a similar way that the spoilers were? If so it could have been the same root cause and those of us bitching were all just using the best (alt) theme.

On that note, it's not exactly a crucial feature but I've been wondering about that indicator on the top of the bottom bar that would show how far down you are on a page. I imagined it as a thin blue (or otherwise thematically appropriate) bar that would either shrink towards the center or grow towards the sides from the center the closer you got to the bottom of a page. It's just a small cosmetic thing but I'd find it helpful because the actual scrollbar is always either covered by my thumb as I scroll or otherwise kind of hard to see.

Something to think about, I'm not sure I've ever seen it done in a way that struck me as tasteful. The theming sometimes doesn't help here, as it's pretty easy to end up with a dark posts background and a dark scroll indicator. But I don't know how much fixing that would help if it's under your thumb.

So if you hit edit on a post, cancel out, and then try to write a new post, it goes back to editing the old post unless you cancel out of that again This is easy for me to accidentally do if I try to quote my own post and hit edit by mistake.

Glad you did. I didn't know cancel out a 2nd time fixed it, I usually quickly exit and then re-enter the thread as that resets the edit window. It's super annoying when you're in a live shitposting thread for things like football games.

carry on then posted:It's coming eventually These look great! I noticed the gradient is using a different blue to the alt theme which makes it look a bit out of place.  (same blue as current top bar on alt theme) Another way to approach that could be to have it as a solid block of colour as a separator.

spanky the dolphin posted:These look great! I think the blue was meant to coordinate with the regular theme but I’m hacking this in as the alternate theme to get it working. Once I figure out how to better implement all these theme options things will look more coordinated One thing I’m trying to figure out is a good way to indicate that a post is read that is evident no matter how large the post is without compromising the pure black appearance. The gradients which were from a mock-up The Dave(?) had posted work well for short posts but not long ones.

This is probably far more complicated than it seems. Just an idea:  e: Also, a simple UI improvement imo would be changing the 'joined dd/mm/yyyy' and post timestamp text in each post to a darker grey (like your current quote background colour.) The most prominent text should be the post itself and the posters name, this other info is secondary and noise for the most part. Here's a mockup:  Also includes an updated look for the platinum members icon, which I've uploaded here. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1R1lEoKaxT7qrw6jqOjsY6PZWpq250uCv?usp=sharing spanky the dolphin fucked around with this message at 09:34 on Feb 22, 2019 |

The quote/edit confusion thing is a lovely combination of weird forums functionality combined with app ambiguity that's half feature half bug and doesn't have any obvious One Right Way to do things. It's amazing. It also sucks incredibly if you're a mod, because if you go to quote someone, hit edit by mistake, and back out and then hit quote, and don't notice what's happened, you'll wind up erasing their post with your response. On the other hand, this bug is actually a feature which makes multi-quoting and reply caching possible, and while Awful App knows whether it's about to send a reply or an edit it seems to trip up in reopening a cached edit when the user hits reply. Possible ideas to consider for refining this feature; • Blunt fix: don't cache edits? • Do cache edits, but separately to replies? Don't know how feasible this is. • Continue having only one cache, but if it's an edit, and the user hits reply or quote, discard it (possibly after confirming)? • When cancelling out of the post compose form, offer user the choice of saving a draft or discarding? • Change the current quote button to be "multi-quote" instead, with the same behaviour (append quote to active draft if one exists), and offer a new "quote" button that always opens a blank post with just the quote (possibly request user confirmation if any draft exists that would be discarded)? • Add a toggle to disable the reply cache/multi-quote feature altogether? I know how much you all love toggles!
