I’m interested in why it crashes on macOS too, I’ll ask pokey to dig out some of those crashes. are you reporting them? if so, could you put “for subjunctive” in the crash notes? and are you on beta or store?

we could do a bunch of mouse and keyboard stuff (like cmd-enter to preview/post!) I think but I probably won’t get to it soon, personally. the crash is more likely to get my attention I think!

Yes, I had been, but this time I reproduced it and added a note. I’m not on TestFlight, I’ve been using appstore release. This has been broken for a long time (over a year, I think).

The “click and hold” is not discoverable at all on Mac OS, but I’ve been using enough Catalyst/“iPad apps on Apple Silicon” to know about it. Even if the right-click context menu only brings up the share sheet that’d still be an improvement. Hell, allow double-clicking/tapping to open the image viewer.

Also, while I’m here… when the app is open for a very long time on Mac OS it loses track of unread counts in bookmarks after a certain amount of time. Pulling to refresh often results in negative post counts or zero for threads that I know should have new posts (like USCE). Quitting the app, waiting some amount of time, and then reopening the app usually gets a proper count. I’m guessing this is a caching issue for the user bookmark page because the app gets OOM’d on iOS and it’s not used to being open in the background for very long periods of time. I’m pretty sure I could reproduce it on an iPad if i left it open long enough and the iPad didn’t go to sleep.

I would not be surprised to discover that we have a slow memory leak somewhere that is usually masked by the iOS/iPadOS app lifecycle being all about frequent restarts.

This would happen with pagination too (and does on the web site). If a thread were on page 3 of your bookmarks, and then while you're looking at page 2 the thread gets updated, it would move to page 1 and you wouldn't see it until you went back. There's no way to get an atomic snapshot of the bookmarked thread state, so it's racy like that.

Yeah but as it is now it's way more visually confusing simply because it's different from how the forums are and how threads in Awful are. Reaching the end of the "page" with the infinite list forces the refresh and threads jump around like crazy and I think there's some bug or conflict with the site or SALR (unlikely I admit) or something where threads with new posts get put at the top of the "page" on the actual site but Awful does it too and flings a thread with new posts, once "discovered" upon a refresh of a new "page" to the very top of the entire list, if that makes sense.

Plus it's slightly helpful and more consistent to know that a thread you were reading on the forums was on, say, page four of a forum so instead of having to scroll down to it to reach this vague "page four" you could just pick page four and get to it right away.

Small dumb thing I just noticed: Are there not any platinum icons for the classic or alternative dark themes? I know it shows the grenade icon on the light themes, and on the OLED ones, but not Classic Dark or Alternative Dark.

Do they provide an embedding model like Twitter does, or would we have to scrape the linked page? Discord manages to unfurl them, but Discord probably also has a 6-person “make poo poo unfurl” team working full time so I’m not sure how fragile/feasible it is.

I think a pain point is that you need to download every link to see if it has the opengraph meta tags. You can whitelist but Mastodon makes a mess of that since there are a thousand different servers.

I wonder if a HEAD call is enough to tell if it’s a Mastodon server.

Spooky user icons are granted for making donations of $13 or more in a haunted clubhouse thread, I thought that’s what the app update enabled display of

Yeah, and none of the icons (Spooky or the basic grenade) except the mod stars appear in Classic Dark still, even with the app update (iPhone SE 3, iOS 17.0.3 if it matters).

I run OLED dark and see them; that’s actually the only thing I tested them in when I made the patch, and Pokeyman had to fix it to make it work in other themes!

E: this is a lie, I don’t see them on the beta now for some dark themes, hmm

CommieKong has done the most work of late, and we have totally burned out Pokeyman over a decade or whatever of toil. spanky and The Dave have done a bunch of design/asset work. Prior to his perma, carry on then did a fair bit too. I dabble very infrequently, often making more work for Pokeyman to clean up. There’s a historical list in the OP!

There’s no fundraising thing because a) Pokeyman didn’t want to have to figure out how to share with contributors, but more importantly b) nobody involved wants to feel an obligation to do work on it.

[*] I better dabble more frequently in the future or my wife is going to make even more faces about the Mini I bought for the purpose…

on the website you can attempt to quote a post in a closed thread so you can get the tag with the post id and stuff. i thought you could do it on the app too but apparently not. i think it would be fine to have it behave like the site where it goes to compose a post which you can edit but if you try to post it itll be like uhhh no dogg.
