I'm loving the app. I helped out with the Awful app icons on the Android version but I've jumped ship now so I offer my help to the iAwful app. I was wondering if there was any talk of updating the current app icons to more of an iOS 7 interface? I would be down to give it a go if no-one else is?

Ah, thanks for the link. I've posted in there now. I see that quite a lot of work has gone into a redesign already and it's looking great. I was maybe thinking of having a go at the main app icon but willing to help in any way really.

pokeyman posted:I'm open to ideas here. I think it was spanky the dolphin leading the charge for the "V" icon, maybe they want to defend that choice? I don't have a strong opinion on it. I don't mind another solution here either. Other than a plus symbol I can't really think of what else to use as a replacement though. Shifting the background color of the listed sub forums would help though. We should do that.

We must kill the X. And I'm the one that made the X! Apologies. I just wanted to get rid of the end of thread text. If a dash is preferred I can make one. Any other suggestions?

Mo0 posted:I can't say I'm a huge fan of the new thread view layout. The number of pages in the thread seems like a superfluous metric to me. The only reason I actively look at the number of pages is really to check if a thread is relatively new or if it's an old huge one. It's irrelevant info for the bookmarks view or any thread in which you've got a last read count on. I wouldn't be against removing that all together but different people have different browsing habits so who knows if it's useful to someone else.

Yeah I like the functionality of the last page. We have icons now for all three of those textual buttons. It could look like this for consistency: |<< @ >>| Where the @ is refresh icon. Agree the ornament isn't working. I can mock some up today and post them here if anyone has more ideas. I was thinking a dotted line all the way across? It's sort of difficult cause I haven't seen any use of something like that in other apps. There's no common symbol I'm aware of. As an idea I just thought of, what if the very end of a thread has, say, half or a third of a screen of excess blank space at the end. No ornament. Enough that when scrolling down you are aware of it. Similar to how it already is when you open a thread with one new post in it that doesn't reach all the way down.

LampkinsMateSteve posted:I could get behind this. Too often I am refreshing or skipping to the next page because I am generally reading the top third of the screen and start scrolling. Perhaps a dimming effect? Like the page fades to 50% opacity or something while the pull-to-xxx is in action.

Caching 5 pages or something for subway or airplane use would be awesome. Also, I changed the icons for add bookmark and unmark a while back. We should slip them into the next update : link

Regular Nintendo posted:How about a down arrow in the empty corner to the right of the username This is probably the best option. The only thing is you don't always know if you want to flick past a post at the beginning of it. You know how in the Music app in artist view each album sort of stickies to the top of the screen as you scroll down? Is that a loving nightmare to code? Cause I could imagine that working in this scenario. The username of the current post is up top with the ... Icon and a down arrow for skipping to next post on the right side.

Hey is it possible and if it is do you think it'd be a cool idea to have a little throbber animation for when pages are loading? Here's a little rough test I put together today that I think could work:

Doctor w-rw-rw- posted:Throbber looks great but for the fact that it is puny on a 6+. It's puny on my 5s too. I'm thinking of making it as large as the page refresh circle, you reckon that would look better? Would we also be able to raise it up a tad to visually center it more, pokey?

pokeyman posted:Whoever's got the current Awful app icon source files I need a favour: more sizes! Hey pokey, I made the app icon and can probably do this over the weekend. I brought it up a while back but would it be worth refining the main app icon a bit while I'm at it or is that opening a can of worms (it obviously is.) I was thinking dialing back the gradient and making the gold bar shape a bit less blocky. e: Like this: http://imgur.com/a/vNNZR (how the hell do we do imgur links here now?) spanky the dolphin fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Sep 23, 2016 |

ellspurs posted:On the settings tab, there's a "hide sidebar in landscape" option. When selected, the sidebar will slide in/out on left/right swipes. When deselected, it will sit there permanently and the thread will sit on the other 3/4 of the screen. Ah , I see now. It was actually deactivated already but needed to be switched on/off to work properly. Thanks!

pokeyman posted:Skipping a bunch of posts to say sorry for breaking the bookmarks tab, a fix is awaiting App Store review. I will go through the skipped posts tomorrow and hopefully fix more stuff I broke! Appreciate the time you put into this, Pokey! I'm using the new theme and enjoying it. There seem to be a few areas where the old themes blue is still in use though that seems a bit jarring. The quote links and the throbber. Is it possible to make those the same blue seen on the 'jump' button when you hit the page numbers at the bottom of a thread?

carry on then posted:Do you have a screenshot? I see what you mean with the OP username, but not the other instance you mentioned. Once I see where it is it should be a quick fix. The quote links circled here, plus any link --> like this example <--still display in OG blue. The OP color could probably be changed to the same color too. I think if you could make the blue circled here brighter (like in Filter By Tag) it'd feel better. It's currently dimmer than the unselected icons. Alternatively you could make it white like you have done in the thread view, which looks pretty sharp I think. Also, I made those additional throbber icons a while ago that would be cool to include, I don't know how easy it is to cycle through them on different page loads though. I can easily change their colour to the new blue if you like and re-export them if you can't re-color on your end? spanky the dolphin fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Jun 25, 2017 |

Since updating to iOS11 I've noticed the nav bar on my iPad Pro 12.9 renders the icons and text side by side instead of stacked like before. Check it out: e: it seems to render correctly if I disable autohide in landscape mode - still incorrect on portrait mode with the same setting though. spanky the dolphin fucked around with this message at 08:30 on Sep 22, 2017 |

carry on then posted:I'm real mad at Apple about it. How about as a hack we remove the text from those icons instead of doing a huge recode? It might even make for a better look. Current users will be familiar with the meaning of all the icons. New users know what bookmarks, mail and settings mean from other apps. Forums is fairly obvious, lepers isn't, but hit it once and you'd get it.

Question Mark Mound posted:I remember suggesting a app icon several years ago and Im super stoked that we finally have one. Best update ever. It's only been available since iOS 10.3 so it's still fairly new. It's sometimes used in sports apps so you can have your favourite team logo on your home screen. It's really useful in this case as it's normally so difficult for the community to agree on just one icon to move forward with. I'm open to making more if anyone has ideas, although there aren't that many easily translatable ones left I don't think. I'm Rockin' the at the moment.
