I apologize if this is already well known (I've only been following the last few pages), but what's up with Twitter embeds lately? 1) Videos don't play; you can tap to "activate" a video, but then it never starts playing 2) Some tweets have this blue quoted subtweet attached to them, and the formatting is all weird, with blue checks misaligned and the blue text sometimes getting partially cut off (can't find an example of the latter just now): 3) Tweets with images sometimes squash them to the wrong proportions (I think if they're taller than a certain threshold):

Diabolik900 posted:I think that's a good setting to add, but I wouldn't shut it off myself. Pull for next page and pull to refresh are features I want to use, I just think they're way too sensitive, and I don't think I'm alone in that based on the last couple years worth of posts on the topic. I feel like it should only take effect if you're at the bottom of the page and not currently scrolling. How hard would that be to detect and implement? My only problem with pull-for-next-page is when I'm cruising down to the bottom of the page and accidentally swipe up because I either still have scroll momentum going or I'm on autopilot and hit the bottom half a second ago.

Feature request: how about not showing the unread indicator if it’s 0? Way easier to tell if I’m caught up if there’s simply nothing there as opposed to a digit that might be a 6 or a 3 or something if I’m glancing or scrolling.

Do they? I never noticed they were different colors until you pointed it out just now.

I'm talking about the bookmarks view. Desktop site, the indicators for "there are unread posts" and "there are no unread posts" are extremely different in shape yet still give you a control for marking unread, etc.

# ¿ Oct 12, 2018 13:23 |
I generally use the bookmarks view exclusively. So there are two main use cases here, and an indicator should ideally work well for both. How about if the 0 were just in a light gray instead of black? I realize I'm apparently doubly an outlier here (1. bookmarks-only viewer and 2. colorblind), but graying-out of features has always suited my personal tastes well.

# ¿ Oct 12, 2018 13:27 |
Yeah, that was what I was suggesting. Have it so it has to be at least 500ms after scrolling comes to a stop before pulling triggers a next-page.

# ¿ Oct 27, 2018 18:02 |
^^ FWIW, the one-and-only reason “pull to X” exists as a thing is discoverability. Any other gesture and it would have to be a documented/hidden feature.

My findings are that a page where tweets are broken will always be broken, whether you kill/restart the app or not, and the next page will probably work fine (in other words it’s not like a memory leak or a “tweets are poisoned now, bounce the app” condition). Just keep browsing and leave that page for dead.

pokeyman posted:Delays really frustrate me, so I'm not a huge fan of this, though I appreciate the idea! I guess what I'm thinking is, is there really a use case where a delay is not helpful? Do you ever find yourself power-scrolling down a page, reaching the bottom, and wanting to immediately pull the next page as part of the same gesture (or rapid sequence of autopilot gestures), as opposed to taking half a second to look at the last post in the page or let the scroll movement settle before wanting to intentionally pull? Any mechanism that breaks up that gesture/scroll sequence, or disables pulling in the situation where that's what you're doing, would solve the problem IMO. Any way to differentiate that you're in the process of actively scrolling, and not allow pulling to work during that time. A delay would do that, but something else might too. Or implement the Chrome-like behavior, either way. I know this is not that easy to nail down "correctness", and thank you for making the game attempt.

I saw someone else mention it, so +1 on that thing where when you’re scrolling down a thread, it will occasionally go into this weird state where it forces the view to slowly scroll upward while simultaneously moving the toolbar (with “scroll to end” and “parent forum”) into view. If you scroll manually while it’s doing this, the whole view shudders as it fights you.
|
|
# ¿ Dec 29, 2018 20:09 |
That’s certainly a valid point. I know it contributes in my case. E: one idea might be to signal that you’re nearing the last post on the page with a background color change (gradient?) or something like that.

A small thing: If someone puts a gif in spoiler tags, there seems to be no way to make it play, since tapping on the play button makes it re-spoiler.

# ¿ Apr 18, 2019 12:55 |
I’m not especially wild about the zoom, but it seems to have killed that thing where the view judders when scrolling because the pull-down toolbar is trying to come into view. So that’s a net plusplusplus to me

Smart quotes seem to sporadically go wonky and disappear during preview / post. Then they get better after a few minutes.

# ¿ May 7, 2019 02:29 |
Whether the solution is simple or not, I think it's probably a pretty common use case. I do it a lot myself. It's definitely a side effect of a fundamental forum design issue, so I'd want to tease out potential X-Y problems first, if possible.

Ahh, well that's good to know at least. Means it can probably be trained based on whether I've used the Twitter app versus website most recently or something, so I won't blame it on Awful.

# ¿ May 20, 2020 13:53 |
It would be pretty neat if the app could somehow disable the feature if it isn't going to work. Like I don't know if there's some kind of central microservice that could be added to the main site where like, if one user's imgur upload fails, it sets a flag on the central SA server (or somewhere else, maybe even something like a gsheet) and then everyone else's iOS app knows not to even try posting images anymore, and maybe show a banner saying why not, and then the flag gets cleared at the beginning of the month, or something like that. Of course it would be way more ideal if the quota just didn't fill up in the first place. And this would be a finicky and fragile solution, and maybe involve more recurring maintenance than is warranted. But I dunno, just throwing it out there.
