power crystals posted:I don't think I've seen this one in the recent list. In iPad landscape at least, latest app/iOS as far as I know, if I load a thread with sufficiently few+small posts unread on the page that the unread posts are smaller than the space allocated to view them (so like, 39 read, one unread post of a few sentences, a bunch of black below it) then the first pull-for-next-page fails and nothing happens no matter how far I pull. Second attempt always works fine. It seems to affect pull-to-refresh too having just tried that for giggles. I think I’ve seen this happen but it’s really rare for me, so I appreciate the write-up! kefkafloyd posted:I'd be all over a Catalyst version of awful.app. I think it’ll be a ton of work to make an actual non-poo poo Mac app out of it, so I ain’t promising anything, but now I know what it takes to get it running.

Chrome + SALR still does a great job on my mac (and pixelbook and linux work desktop and occasional windows gaming PC) so I honestly have no idea what I would use an awful app for on a computer. Awful app is great and useful on iPad (and the android cousin on my phone) but there's already a pretty solid experience with normal browsers on computers, even without SALR. A lot of what makes Awful work well with its current design is the touch interface that isn't ideal on non-tablets. I still use the trackpad on my pixelbook 95% of the time when it's in laptop mode rather than touching the screen.

Yeah I wouldn’t expect a ton of users for a Mac version, it’d be more for my amusement. The whole goal is to be Better Than Safari and that’s much harder to do on desktop.

This is pretty minor, but it seems like the back button is too far up (iPhone 8, latest regular version of awful) when in landscape mode, like so: It’s in the same spot in all the themes, which makes sense. It seems like it’s higher up than the new post button and is basically jutting up against the edge of the screen. It’s working just fine, visual appearance aside, so it’s not really a big deal. It seems fine in portrait mode, but there’s more room there thanks to the status bar, so it’s hard to tell.

On the off chance that anyone has any interest, there’s a “mac” branch up on GitHub that should build and run cleanly in Xcode 11 beta 3. Note that the Mac part will only work on the macOS 10.15 beta. If anyone wants to poke at it, by all means! Just don’t upgrade your actually-needs-to-work installation of macOS to the beta because it’s very beta.Dr. Kayak Paddle posted:My app no longer refreshes forums automatically, please send help Just to double-check: is this the list of forums that doesn’t refresh? Or a list of threads within a single forum? Zenostein posted:This is pretty minor, but it seems like the back button is too far up (iPhone 8, latest regular version of awful) when in landscape mode, like so: Yeah that looks pretty goofy. I’ll add it to the list!

iPhone XS, iOS 12.3.1. Every now and then the top bar with Parent Forum, Scroll to End and Precious Posts will sometimes not show up. It fixes itself by just leaving the thread and returning but it happens enough that I’ve noticed it.

Alright, starting to throw together a light theme to match the element sizes of OLED dark. Please tweak the shades of these colors if you'd like to, I don’t think they fit quite right. Also, do you want the top navigation bar in the app to stay blue or become white for a super blinding experience?

Shear Modulus posted:Terrific app, BUT i need to be able to copy the url of someone's avatar image from their profile page so i can mock them by quoting their post then doing an [img] of their avatar  Workaround: longpress on their avatar in the thread to open the image viewer sheet without even opening their profile. Recently I've seen the app re-render a thread (presumably when it's been evicted from memory) without the scrollthumbs. This sometimes happens when reopening the app, but more often it's when I tap a link to open a (probably heavyweight) website in-app; the scrollthumbs are often gone upon closing the Awful browser. I can fix it on a per-case basis by toggling Dark Mode. I have noticed that the scrollthumbs do get effed up usually when I partially swipe back to dismiss the Awful browser but fail to complete the swipe. Definitely on twitter but I think it occurs on other websites too? The right-side scrollthumbs in the half-dismissed-but-then-resumed Awful browser get moved a distance away from the right edge of the screen, I think relating to how far I swiped while fakeout-dismissing the browser. Not sure if this is related to the disappearing scrollthumbs after dismissing the Awful browser though. THXX

It fixes itself by just leaving the thread and returning but it happens enough that I’ve noticed it. pokeyman posted:I see this too sometimes. It’ll come back without leaving by scrolling just the right way but it’s not supposed to be that hard The behavior of the top bar has changed in one of the recent(ish?) updates. The Nice Days: start showing whenever you're scrolling upwards, start hiding whenever you're scrolling downwards, and iirc would remain only partially visible when you stopped scrolling while it was transitioning; also it was always visible if you scrolled above the top of the earliest rendered post. Now: the top bar is forced fully-hidden or fully-visible as soon as you stop scrolling; when you start scrolling from stopped and not touching the screen, the key scroll location is then fixed: top bar becomes visible only if you scroll above that location, and hides only if you scroll below that location. So if you've got only a single short-ish post that was unread, and you start trying to scroll upwards, you need to stop scrolling entirely, let go of the screen until all scrolling momentum has dissipated, and then scroll up a bit (and you might need to scroll downwards and then stop just a little before all this too). Or maybe when you open a thread, the top bar's key location is set to some negative value above the thread view which you can't reach? So you need to scroll just a little downwards and then stop entirely to reset the key location to something that can actually be reached, and only then you can scroll up to reveal the top bar. I liked the old behavior overall better although I assume (or maybe vaguely remember?) that there was some kind of problem that cropped up with it. Probably after an iOS update that changed internal behavior! pokeyman posted:[scrollthumbs issue]

Oh Jesus yes my autocorrect did a number on that post. It was concerning a large gap at the bottom of the thread when you get to the end of a page. I haven't run into since those first few days on the ios13 beta though, so no worries.
