The twitter url change is off to the appstore review bots.
I have tried to decoupled this from the user data change because it turned into a whole thing. It also meant upping the minimum version from 5.0 to 7.0 , which yeah I suppose is laughable but would still mean that 3 of you weirdos might miss out on changes.
Let's see if they let me send this out without doing the change anyway.

Regarding the userdata change as it turns out, the decision was quite easy

Yeah, no.

Also seems like I need to get hold of Ferg sometime next year so they don't throw us off the play store. :toot:

Surprised awful.apk is on the free tier of firebase. I'd be interested in hearing what sort of data you're storing and usage you're seeing. I've got a game with a firebase back end that's still well within the free tier. But Awful has to have at least an order or two more magnitude users.

I've been considering trying self-hosted appwrite, just for reducing Google dependency.

I have some problems discerning the lines between posters in the Awful.apk OLED theme. The borders separating the lines become indistinguishable. I know the point of OLED is to save juice but can we not make it so that at least there is a cyan/purple thin marker line at the end of each poster?

I know it's not a must, however, the phenomenon I'm referring to occurs when you are skimming/sliding through the posts. The negative color palette makes a weird motion blur with the text/separator lines.



Is it possible to make it so that this green line only appears in the post in focus? Maybe via the same mechanism that enables to slide through posts? I am no way implying this is necessary, still would look nice I think.

That sounds like a screen problem rather than a theme problem

Or potentially an eye problem

(no issues here with that theme on several generations of pixels over the years)

Coming to think of it I have a very low-end locally assembled Xiaomi phone. I should try it on someone else's and see if it persists.

I'm mainly confused by the green lines in the screenshot, those should be white.

Also the screenshot is hella confusing on the OLED theme, jfc

I think the underlying issue may be "pixel lag" i.e. the pixels are taking a moment to completely turn on / off which causes smearing when you scroll. It's an issue that seems to vary depending on your screen, the relative brightness you have it set to and your own perception. Here's an XDA thread of people arguing about it and not really coming to any firm conclusion: https://xdaforums.com/t/lagging-black-pixels-when-scrolling-with-dim-screen.3696188/

And yeah quickly scrolling through this page on OLED theme made me think I'd changed a font setting somewhere

You're fucking great,

Are you going to be updating the Kindle Fire version?

If not, is there a direct, official link to the android .APK so I can sideload it without having to go to a sketchy APK site?

Thanks! :buddy:

I don't know if this is what made the difference, but I clicked the link in the op to get the beta version and got the new app served a couple of hours later. I figured it was necessary because an earlier update featuring the imgur uploads requiring an account from months ago also never made it to the regular play store version.

if you don't have an account, your uploads will be deleted at some point. not a big deal if you're just sending something in a discord, but a total pain if you don't want forum threads to become a mess of broken images when people are browsing them after the fact.

I know the discord CDN isn't a great storage solution but people seem to love posting videos "hosted" there. Would it be possible to have them embed in the Awful app? I somehow managed to graduate from the local community college IT program, so I am actually able to solve the arcane puzzle of downloading and playing an mp4, but it does seem like an issue for some users :shrug:

Bearing in mind discord media links expire pretty quickly outside discord itself I'm not sure it's something that should be encouraged

Just call people idiots whenever they do it imo

After actually looking at the code like I should have done in the first place, maybe the existing video embed should just ignore query strings?


JavaScript code:

var videos = Array.from(replacementArea.querySelectorAll('.postcontent a')).filter(function(link) {
  return /\.(webm|gifv|mp4)(\?.*)?$/i.test(link.href);
});

Here: https://github.com/Awful/Awful.apk/blob/86d5260ea252f05731ae48b0d930a7bf0e950474/Awful.apk/src/main/assets/javascript/embedding.js#L192
