On the color front, imo the color diff between a read post and unread one on the alternate theme in dark mode is way too small

I think thats by design so you can quote multiple posts without doing huge copy pastes

Kind of a weird bug report:

This only happens in split view on iPad:

1. Quote a post
2. Tap Preview in the nav bar

Expected: preview of post with a Post button on the nav bar
Actual: there is a Preview button in the nav bar where Post should be, allowing an endless stack of preview VCs

Oddly if I get rid of the other split view app and make Awful fullscreen it fixes itself.

iPad Pro 10.5, iOS 11.1.1

Feature request (that I could prolly do this week with permission from pokeyman and ux guidance): remove this option and just have two iconed barbuttons there for preview and post instead of either/or

About the scrolling and accidentally loading the next page thing, what the Android app does is allow you to set the percentage of the screen you need to scroll. I bumped it up a bit slightly from the default and no longer get accidental new pages in that one. The ios app seems to be around 10-15 percent maybe, or at least whatever it is for me is rather low so I accidentally go to the next page a lot. Maybe make that configurable perhaps?

(I'm not trying to just say to make the whole thing like the android app or say that one is better, BTW. Please don't take it that way.)

I added a settings toggle to shut off pull-to-next-page entirely if thats your jam

Personally I think think every app should do what Tweetbot does: make it so tapping again returns you back to your previous position.

Is this including the behavior where it inexplicably scrolls down sometimes despite not being at the top

I’ve noticed this too. Figured it was just me.

This is likely due to twitter's engineering staff being comprised entirely of incurious dullards with nowhere else to go since all the smart ones decided to leave the unprofitable nazi platform

Crash report

Iphone 7, ios 11.newest

I had an image copied to the clipboard (an actual image from the camera roll, not a url). I started composing an empty reply and tapped the textview to bring up the copy/paste bubble. I selected the img option and accidentally picked the option that inserts the [img] bbcode tags. I then selected all so the tags' text was highlighted, selected the img option from the bubble and selected paste to paste my image and the app crashed.

1. Copy image data to clipboard from Photos app
2. Compose empty reply
3. Insert img tags
4. Select all
5. Paste image
6. Crash

Fwiw the image data didn't seem messed up, i opened the app again and successfully pasted and posted without re-copying the image from Photos. Here is the image i hope you like it

Workflow (and likely siri shortcuts in ios 12) works

Heres one i made for when images dont load when you're on the train or whatever, if you long-touch a blank inage to get to the fullscreen loading view this will kick it out to safari so you can go back to reading and then check the image in safari when you have service

I've made a new 'default-tag' for PM's, that should look like this when put in:

It will need to shift in colour based on the app theme.

A new 'no-tag' for the ones currently without created tag art. It will also need to shift in colour based on the app theme. The existing one looks like this:



A new ignore icon so we don't have the same icon for 'ignore user' and 'mark unread'

Also included the aforementioned copy-url@#x.png for easy access. This one needs to be used for 'Share'

Lol sorry should have scanned this page. But same for me FYI. I also occasionally get the weird thing where when I click a twitter link and it opens in the awful browser (where I don't believe I have my twitter login info saved) it won't display the tweet and gives me the "Sorry, you are currently rate limited!" error -- it's inconsistent though and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't so it's unfortunately hard to nail down how or why it happens. I will definitely give you the benefit of the doubt and just assume the twitter API sucks rear end

1. neo nazis suck rear end at frontend
2. are you using a vpn? I use Nord and get the rate limited issue you described

If carry on then or pokeyman wanted to pm me some random bug fixes I'd take a swing at the stuff, I've been doing fulltime iOS stuff for like 6 years at this point (not much swift experience but tbh most issues I encounter in swift are from interoperation with objc)

Never really done much open source contribution so I'm not sure how it goes. Are there issues or tickets or something with descriptions/repro?

Any chance the issues with posting pics from the app is going to get fixed anytime soon. I haven’t been able to post pics in months. Tried posting to Imgur first and copying the link and it still never works.

copy the image itself from your camera roll, then in the app open up the copy/paste popover menu, pick [img] and then Paste

If you load a page with only 1 or 2 posts you have to drag up about 70% of the screen

Perhaps the best compromise is the way that Chrome handles it, where you pull to refresh but you need to hold it for a second
