I’m guessing apple hasn’t fixed the “I need to ask to paste literally anything” issue? I had something on my clipboard from Mail and Awful was Not Pleased! E: yeah it’s triggerhappy in that it’ll ask me to paste somehow when I’m on the bookmarks menu teen witch fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Nov 29, 2022 |

Did YouTube change something? Every time I run into an embed in the app it fails to load the thread and then loops trying to load and failing.

the app is being weird by eating some number of line breaks after a line with a gif and text on it. if i add enough line breaks, it will eventually actually break the lines in the app, but in a normal browser there will be a bunch of blank lines. if i turn on auto-animate gifs it works normally, so something to do with the play overlay or something a post -> https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3991238&perpage=40&noseen=1&pagenumber=307#post528247227 how it looks with autoplay off:  autoplay on:

Indeed, pages with lots of Twitter and YouTube embeds are eating poo poo right now. I ran into it for the first time on page 293 of the PS5 thread, which keeps trying to load but resets to top of page endlessly. See here - https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4012361&perpage=40&noseen=1&pagenumber=293

I don’t know if this feature is talked about in this huge thread but I would pay money for the ability to download threads for offline reading, even if it couldn’t cache embeds and such. That is all thank you.

Yeah I've brought this up before and the app kinda does this already if you go into a thread and go forward a bunch of pages the pages that you've read are in a cache. I'm not sure how feasible offline reading really is at this point tbh.

I love the app but I still don't like the forum view. Why no pages like in threads and on the forums? Scrolling down and having the list abruptly refresh throws me off and if there are threads you've read they jump to the top of the list no matter how far down you've gone so you'll never find them unless you guess you've passed them and go all the way back up. I think it's linked to the forum setting of having threads you've read appear at the top of the page or something? I don't know but I don't like it.

Did most of the UI text get a lot smaller in the new beta? I think the text within threads is unchanged, but everything else seems tiny and I don’t think it’s responding to the in-app text sizing settings. I can increase my system text size to make it more readable, but then all my other apps’ text is too big.

I don’t know, admittedly I have my system size set at the smallest setting, but somehow Awful’s text is even smaller than any other app.

I think the text within threads is unchanged, but everything else seems tiny and I don’t think it’s responding to the in-app text sizing settings. Yeah, some app text was already configured for dynamic text but a fair amount was not. Now the majority of the text in the app is set for dynamic. So the previously hardcoded font sizes will now respect your system size settings and shrink/grow using an offset value we provide. I chose an offset that would keep the font sizes the same on default settings. As well as the offset, we set a text style such as title/caption/footnote. Maybe there's one that will shrink/grow more reasonably while not appearing noticeably different on default settings. Edit: I've had a chance to look now and I see exactly what you mean.

Has anyone else gotten any luck in using a browser besides Safari to open up URLs from the Awful.app? I filed an issue requesting this: https://github.com/Awful/Awful.app/issues/1161

Mine open in firefox, there's definitely a setting somewhere that I changed for this. Edit: Settings -> Default Browser. It's just below about halfway down. This is on the non-beta, standard appstore version.

If the app largely wasn’t respecting dynamic type before, and it all basically looks the same on default settings, then I’d say this is an improvement overall. I’m certainly an edge case in having my font set to the smallest setting. Stuff should look smaller for me than it did before, but it does seem a little strange that it’s smaller than I’m seeing in other apps. Looking forward to trying your change whenever the next beta comes.

Is it just me, or is scrolling a lot worse with the newest beta? It’s chunky and sometimes entirely non-responsive for a few seconds, but not consistently on any given page. Seeing it on both my 14 Pro Max and my older iPad Pro.

Seeing it on both my 14 Pro Max and my older iPad Pro. I'm seeing this as well, on an iPhone 12 Pro w/ iOS 16.1.2 and on the latest Awful app beta. My impression is that it's related to Twitter embeds (and perhaps especially when the tweets include a video?), although I'm not sure.

Does disabling frog and ghost help? Is it any page within the posts page webview or any page/screen in the app? I think the messages screen is hitching for sure. I'll have a go at running the app through Instruments this weekend.

commie kong posted:Does disabling frog and ghost help? :O yes, it very much does help to disable frog-n-ghost! For example, page 1893 of the yosmusk thread chugs quite a lot for me with frog-n-ghost enabled, but scrolls buttery-smooth with them disabled. That's pretty unexpected to me since that page I linked is not the end of the thread any more (no frog) and at present no tweets on that page are deleted afaict (no ghosts). I guess the frog-n-ghost placement code is more complicated, or run far more frequently, than I imagined?
