Ideally we'd show a message when that's necessary, but I think the (probably undocumented) approach we had to detecting when "Full access" is off no longer works, so we should probably figure that out.Crime on a Dime posted:Filter by tag still doesn't work for me It's been a little while, what's failing here again? No tags to choose from? Or choosing a tag doesn't actually limit threads to those with the chosen tag? Pirate Radar posted:I just got logged out of the app while I wasn’t using it. Did something break? If the Forums decides to delete your session cookie the app will bounce you to the login screen. I think this can happen when you go through the "forgot password" routine. Maybe it can happen for other reasons too. Ugly In The Morning posted:Whenever I try to refresh my bookmarks it says “too many https redirects”. I can still open threads, but not see how many new posts and all that. Is this still happening? Do you see a similar issue if you go to the bookmarks page on the same device but using a web browser? shortspecialbus posted:Last time I asked for a setting for something on something everyone didn't agree on, it was shot down as a terrible idea because it's against the philosophy of intelligent defaults. If it's decided that adding a user setting for auto-timg is acceptable, can we get some sort of user setting for slide-for-next-page slide distance? That's a bug, not a disagreement! Nobody prefers the current behaviour so a setting makes no sense. kimbo305 posted:Re titles -- how do your feel about using the title in emails sent about posts? Not sure I follow.

pure black on an oled means those pixels aren't being powered, the current blacks are just really dark, not pure black.

The X is a new "missing tag" icon.The Dave posted:I smell a conspiracy: App Review rejected the app at one point specifically citing the Android thread tag. I’d be down to just reenable it and see, or maybe a different design would get around the censors? Also I really like that OLED navbar.

101 posted:Are you guys hesitant to work on this app too much because of the possible new forum software (that doesn't seem like it's ever gonna happen) or does that not really factor in? Good question. It doesn’t factor in at all for me. Most of the time I spend on Awful goes towards triage, bug fixes or supporting new iOS versions, much of which would be largely unaffected by a change in Forums software. But even when I’m working on or pondering new features (e.g. search, SAclopedia) I don’t really consider it. Like there’s no bugs or new features that I look at and think "eh gently caress it, the new Forums software will make this irrelevant". Put another way, my anemic contribution to Awful is entirely due to the small amount of time I allot it, and not at all to do with any possible future Forums changes.

Lots of half baked ideas, but pretttttty dark: That does look nice. If we want to move forward with this I think we need to figure out how it will fit into the existing theme settings (ie how will it work with auto dark mode etc). I've been starting to think of ways to revamp the theme system a little bit but nothing super promising has come to mind. pokeyman posted:Good question. It doesn’t factor in at all for me. You're not anemic man, you're the biggest contributor by far! I'm in the same boat wrt time to contribute, except my contributions are actually anemic because while I'm a full time developer I'm not remotely even adjacent to iOS so I don't really know how to do things correctly. I pretty much feel like I can't introduce major new features without also introducing a wonderful pile of hard to diagnose issues so instead I keep to trying to make that pile smaller where I can.

I’m of the same mind when it comes to the theming implementation: it needs a re-think. An OLED theme is a great example of something that really doesn’t fit with the current architecture. Also I see where you’re coming from re: doing a big new feature. It’s no problem if that’s where you’re at. But I have no doubt you or anyone here could tackle a sizeable new thing. Especially since we’re in no rush; there’s no deadlines. If something catches your eye and I can help, just holler!

I think I'll need to make the 'no thread tag' look more generic. Currently gives off too much of a something has gone wrong vibe. Could we maybe look at combining the existing theme options into a more concise menu that we could add an OLED one to? Rather than splitting light, dark and having an alt switch it could be arranged like OG light / OG dark / Alt Light / Alt Dark / OLED. Shown as themed circles ala the 'style' menu in thread settings.

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?

They're so similiar and I get you didn't want to step on any toes when you first did it but rip the band aid off. I personally like the OG more and want duller colors when I'm using the dark theme in low light but it's such a minor change people will adapt. Maybe the best route would be choosing a base, light/dark/yospos, and then being able to customize a primary color with some presets provided. Last night my mindset was simplify the app. Years ago my mindset was "Make it a mini version of the forums" but as I look at it I think there's things I just never need on mobile. This morning I realized that Awful and Slack are my two most used apps, and wondered if a more chatroom slack-style like design could help make it easier to digest threads. This mock up is a little chaotic but it's trying to show off a couple of things, I think in regular use and in the middle of threads it would be super clean:  Also long term, if things pick up for me and designing screens out for fun, I'll move this from sketch to figma and anyone can collaborate in the design file.

Here's the issues. Every outstanding bug or feature request that’s come up in this or any other/past Awful thread should be in there. I forget if you’ve already done a pull request to that repo before, but if not then first one accepted gets you the commit bit. I’m assuming you’re at least vaguely aware of pull requests and how they work on github, but if not lemme know and I’m happy to help. I’m not terribly rigid about policies or anything, contribute as often as you like in any way you think makes sense. I’m always happy to help plan something before implementation, and I’m down for reviewing code before or after merging in to master. If something catches your eye in that mass of issues, fire away!

The Dave posted:Yeah I think the problem is the new no thread tag look is based on the icons, so it's a mis-match with the other thread tags and it stands out because of it. The goal isn't really to stand out and say "This tag doesn't work!" it's more so to blend in with the other tags when there is a problem. The original idea was it would blend in with the other thread tags but act as a to-do for Diabolik and me. Yeah maybe one of these would work better? Or - and here's a thought I just had - What if it's whatever you set your app icon to?   The Dave posted:Honestly maintaining OG & Alt themes just seems silly.

I personally like the OG more and want duller colors when I'm using the dark theme in low light but it's such a minor change people will adapt. I think this is a real good idea. I remember when I used the Android app you could choose heaps of the colours and it was great customisation but way too many options. I said a while ago it'd be cool if you could choose the accent colour and the app would auto lighten / darken it in certain places where required, like the 'Parent Forum, Scroll To End...' menu would be the user selected accent colour + a semi transparent layer of black on top to dim it. All the non accent colours could be neutral / grayscale so any colour you chose would look pretty good. The Dave posted:This mock up is a little chaotic but it's trying to show off a couple of things, I think in regular use and in the middle of threads it would be super clean: I really like most of the changes / features you put in here. The small, cropped thread titles have always been a bit annoying so the extra space is good - I do feel like a the post button should be one-tap away rather than (I assume) put in a menu somewhere. The page progress bar would be awesome to have. Also using that End of Thread section as a functional space is dope.

I think that could work pretty well. spanky the dolphin posted:I do feel like a the post button should be one-tap away rather than (I assume) put in a menu somewhere. Yeah it’s the catch of making that area bigger. My idea was the bottom right becomes a catch all three actions menu that includes reply. Also liked moving that action towards the bottom of the screen so then there’s nothing relying on the top bar and making everything very reachable. Idea no one will like: reply as a 3D Touch shortcut option on that button.

spanky the dolphin posted:Yeah on second thought I guess it's not that big a deal. It's definitely more reachable, and quoting a post is two-taps currently too. We've been talking a little bit about this at my UX consultancy, and where I go on this is it's okay to have a shortcut to an existing action that is not easy to find, as long as some sort of onboarding educates the user and gets them to understand it's there, kind of analogous with keyboard shortcuts. So replying would live in both places, but the 3d touch shortcut is more 'hidden' and for 'power' users. Granted that example might be weird because reply is basically coming from the same button in both instances.

Spent a lot of time creating a real thread page in my new design mockup. Although I like the idea of decoupling the date from the time, it could look a little funky on a thread that doesn't have a lot of action. Also started messing with the progress bar animation, I likes it. I have no idea how to embed videos correctly
