Do a long press pretty much anywhere until you feel the click, and start dragging.

Interesting, and you have haptics enabled?

I'm on a 12, same iOS version. (About to update to 17.2.1, don't expect that to make any difference)

I did not, but now I do and the haptic only lasts until I stop pressing. I’ll keep at it, it’s not too surprising that some callback to stop the haptics got messed up with the PromiseKit/async surgery that just happened, IMO

That's the same for me, it keeps vibrating until you lift off again. I don't think it's supposed to vibrate though.

15pm, 17.2.1, i can reproduce the constant vibration. it will happen if you "select" text or just press and hold and then move your finger around. It stops shortly after you stop moving your finger, and starts again when you move your finger again.

Edit: this started with the current revision of the app i think, previously it wouldn't vibrate all the time like this.

Yeah that's been happening to me as well but not often enough that I felt obliged to try and repro. It's a fun little surprise when I do it by accident but it should probs be fixed.

Long-pressing any part of the screen, scrollbars included, causes the haptics to go absolutely nuts when you move your finger. Latest App Store Awful, latest iOS on a 2020 SE.

Oh, I thought the problem was that the haptics got stuck “on” forever while using the app. This should just be one haptic blip on the long press and then nothing, I guess? I don’t know what the design intent was behind the haptics. I leave them off because they’re noisy when I’m in bed

The haptics are awesome. Honestly, I wish every app gave me a haptic tap when I open it up and otherwise in Awful they're really good, just not a tidal wave of vibrations whenever I happen to hold my finger down when I'm scrolling or selecting text.

I have to press hard to trigger the haptics, not just touch and hold like I do when scrolling. What device are you on?

I've enjoyed it as a weird quirk of this app, but it should probably be fixed yeah

I'm on a 2020SE so no 3D touch or anything, the haptics are binary. Like I said, general tap haptics are really good but pressing down and moving your finger triggers constant haptic spam that just feels weird and that includes scrollbar and text selection so it probably shouldn't happen. I'm guessing a huge amount of it like that screws the battery too.

Yeah a single vibration on button press feels great but the glitch makes the feature unusable for me. Hope it can be fixed!

If you longpress on a visible scrollthumb then it will give you a haptic tap right as it gets "grabbed", indicating that you've activated Ultimate Scrolling Mode. If you begin moving your finger right as that tap occurs, then you get to scroll around without any haptic spam. But if you leave your finger in place for even slightly longer before moving it, then you will have entered a world called Vibe  *hapticcrack*

I only get single haptic taps in the times they seem to be intended, I couldn't trigger continuous haptics with the scroll bar trick described above or by selecting text. iPhone XS, Awful.app is current store version as of this post and iOS is 17.2.1.

Bug report: the current TestFlight build doesn't seem to know how to render monospaced text inside monospaced tags anymore

Regular text
fixed-with text
pre:
preformatted text
code:
code text
All of those get rendered as variable-width text for me in the app at present

I think the same holds for yosposting too, where the posts are already rendered in a fixed-width font and the [fixed ] tag, which used to change that to a different fixed-width font, now instead displays in variable-width[/fixed] e2: ignore this paragraph, yosposts actually still do the correct "different fixed-width font" thing for the [fixed ] tag in my current TestFlight Awful app


e: have some demonstration by screenshot

I did it!!! I worked it out. flawless idea


a while ago I raised searching thread titles and there were some good reasons why that was more challenging than I imagined


but what about this : highlighting a string

huh??

huh??

no other functionality needs to change, just whatever string you’ve typed gets highlighted. that’s it. just means I can type “sixty nine” and scroll down the thread list and it’ll stand out to me when and where it comes up.


of course nothing is ever that simple but I think this could be a winner. in threads too maybe.



anyway, love this god forsaken app 🫵

Yeah but imo the shortcut is better overall especially since it doesn’t matter if it’s a Live Photo or HEIC it converts it to jpg.
