I get why Apple is doing that but goddamn it's like they don't want people to read internet forums on iOS. How's that mobile interface for the website coming, Lowtax?

I had an idea like that eons ago when I was tinkering with window managers for X11, I wanted an interface that would track mouse clicks. If the user clicked somewhere where nothing happened, then the next click actually did something, the element they clicked on would get bigger, supposedly making it easier to click. Stuff that didn't get used over a period of time would shrink or maybe even disappear into a sub-menu. I also wanted to experiment with moving buttons around in an attempt to increase the hit rate. Unfortunately managing all that data was beyond me and I never got further than a proof of concept.

Kaizoku posted:The Biggest problem here is that I often purposefully "click" areas that have no buttons--on desktop to switch windows without accidentally hitting something and on iPhone to adjust grip or whatnot. It's a neat idea, but it wouldn't be useful to me. And now you know why I gave up on it, once I discovered how much data I'd have to log and interpret the problem outgrew my ability to program it. Probably not the best place to debate it but I think an adaptive UI is going to become a thing someday in the future. Everyone uses their computing devices slightly differently, and instead of having a massive list of preferences the software should have some capacity to adjust automatically. We got a hint of it with Windows 8, but unfortunately everyone hated it.

Based on my experiences with acquisitions, it takes at least 6 months for changes to really start showing up. Maybe 9 months before us customers see any impact. This early on all that's happening is shuffling managers and laying off redundant support staff (HR, billing, those types of jobs).

Well poo poo I have no idea how that happened. I won't edit it out because I'm stubborn. It's still true even if 100% off topic.

Yeah the choppiness is all over the place, it's gotta be some kind of caching thing or something because if you hold your finger down and scroll up or down quickly it's nice and smooth. It's just that first few pixels of scrolling that lags.

No, I mean it's all over iOS. I see it in Settings, for example.

You should whip the iPad version into an app for mac store and enable Handoff because this poo poo is loving magic and I love it and require it to make posts on the internet.

Index on ALL COLUMNS.  And listen to the wailing as performance tanks in other areas. And storage balloons even more.

I'm genuinely surprised someone bothered to look at every single page of smileys. To be fair, SA does have the best collection of them of any forum out there and is entertaining in its own way, but if you got a queue of a thousand apps to review spending the time to check every nook and cranny seems like overkill.

Ultimate Mango posted:Wait, there is handoff support? How does that even work? Post creation from iOS to mac doesn't work (or it doesn't for me) but if you're browsing a thread it'll let you open it in safari. And going from mac to iOS will just open the current page in iOS safari.

Mo0 posted:I just had Awful pop up as a shortcut in the lower left corner of my lock screen; as far as I'm aware that's supposed to be for the thing where it tries to pop up the appropriate app for where you're at, so since when is Awful doing that? That should be the handoff icon. But I've never seen the Awful app icon show up on the lock screen.. it always does it in Safari for me.

No, it's just how unicode works. There's nothing your browser/app can reasonably do about it.. if you want it fixed, harass whoever's the forum code monkey to filter out inappropriate unicode strings.

The first one is already fixed.. SA mods can ban users, and users can blacklist other posters.

Snuffman posted:Please don't look to Alien Blue for inspiration, its ugly. It's also a lot of crazy ideas that are super progressive and experimental that make the app really clumsy to use. Experimenting with UI design is fine and all, but you can't throw away everything familiar without really good justification. I like Awful because it works like the forum and fits in well with the iOS ecosystem. There's no surprises which I guess might not be super exciting to program for but in terms of usability it's about as good as it gets.

I know tiny screens are dinosaurs, but this has really been getting on my nerves more and more. Any adjustments on the table to give a bigger look at the text box?

carry on then posted:Similar to the above, here's something for the list: an option to disable embedded youtube videos and/or convert them to links. I tried to test a change using the PYF 30sec videos thread, but all the embeds brought the app to its knees and often crashed it even on an iPhone 6. That's a forum option. I guess there's an argument to allow mobile viewing to control it separately, but in the absence of that you can just turn off embedded videos in your profile.

I recently noticed that pressing the : key on the little macro bar does not cancel the auto "uppercase the first letter of a new sentence" thing, but if I enter a : from the normal keyboard, it does. Is that something that can be fixed? Because emoticons are case sensitive.

Because when you decide that regular expressions can solve a problem you're having, you go from having one problem to having two problems.
