The way iOS notifies you to apps using your clipboard now makes pasting videos or URLs at the top of a post really awkward in portrait on an iPhone. Would there be any way to have the paste options pop-up appear under the iOS notifications?

Clicking an SA quote loads a new page (as it should). But on iPhone I can swipe from the left edge of the screen to return to where I was reading. How I do this on ipad since swiping from the left pulls up the bookmark bar?

Can somebody explain to me why the smileys get duplicated in the picker? I can’t comprehend how that would even happen.

It feels like a thing where it makes an API call to get the smileys (maybe as part of the initial page build) and adds them to the array, and then makes another superfluous API call and adds those results to the array too. Or the API call is paginated and happens when you scroll a certain amount down the picker. Either way it's pulling results that have already been pulled and is adding them to an already-populated array. Is my guess

Look it has an API, you request a page and it spits out nicely-formatted 2003-era html.

jackhunter64 posted:Feature request: I just got a 12 mini and I very much enjoy the little haptic feedback bumps when long pressing or scrolling around in other apps, could we get something like that in Awful please? Adding these would take the Posting Experience even further beyond what was thought possible. I will +1 that on the list! Red Baron posted:I don’t know if this is helpful for the random slowdown thing but I’ve found that if I hit a page of a thread that’s slow (on iOS) if I drag down the notifications window so it fully covers the page and can scroll normally in there 99% of the time when I go back to my thread (just swiping up) I can freely scroll again. Well that's interesting. Appreciate it! Keith Atherton posted:How do you upload a video from your phone to SA using the app? Can't at the moment, but now it's on the list! No reason we shouldn't someday support that. commie kong posted:Feature request: Double tap a post to jump to the end of that post This is one of those good ideas that I completely forget about until I stumble into certain threads and then I'm desperate. +2 on the list! NFX posted:It happened again I thought sessions stuck around for like a year or so? Weird. +1 on the list at any rate  Stare-Out posted:That made me think; would it be possible to have a "tap to show" for tweets? Especially for ones in quotes. Could help with CPU usage in heavy tweet-threads and make scrolling past long strings of quoted tweets quicker. Makes sense to me; at a minimum we could wait to embed until you tap the tweet link. I also wonder about text-only tweet embeds? Might be all you need for a lot of threads and would cut down on the business. No idea if that's an official thing Twitter offers but we could maybe fake it otherwise.

Would there be any way to have the paste options pop-up appear under the iOS notifications? That menu is one of the most annoying things on iOS to customize in any way, but there might be something we can do. And part of the issue is that Awful checks the clipboard before showing the submenu (to only offer paste if that makes sense), so maybe the answer is to postpone that check so it's not in the way? I'll have to play around with it but I totally see that it's annoying david_a posted:Can somebody explain to me why the smileys get duplicated in the picker? I can’t comprehend how that would even happen. I have a theory. Do you use the smilie keyboard (in Awful or in other apps) as well as the non-keyboard picker (by tapping the :-) button) within Awful itself? My theory is that sometimes, between the smilie keyboard and Awful, we have two smilie list updates trigger at about the same time. If there's a new smilie, both updates end up adding it without realizing the other is doing the same, so you get duplicates.

I've renamed the "master" branch to "main" for the Awful.app repo. Hopefully nothing breaks too badly. Anyone with a local clone, here are some suggested commands to run. If anyone gets stuck, let me know and I'm happy to help! edit: also it looks like going to http://github.com/awful/awful.app will give some useful commands to update your local copy, so that's nifty. pokeyman fucked around with this message at 05:17 on Feb 4, 2021 |

I do use both methods, though rarely in the same post, and often see doubles though not all the smilies are doubled. At one point I was getting triples but I haven’t seen that in a while. Thank you for all the work that you do!

Until I went back and looked at the post times, my answer was going to be that I have both a tablet and a phone, but now I don't remember it happening on my phone. Maybe because I don't have as many custom settings there, and I just forgot that it happened there. Anyway, I understand that this is not exactly a high priority issue, most of the other issues seem way more annoying.

Page 1036 of this thread has an image on it that doesn’t load right on a number of browsers and hangs the thread from loading. When I back out of the thread the rest of the app works fine, and if I look at it when someone else replies and the post with the image is hidden it also works to display the new posts. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2985117&perpage=40&noseen=1&pagenumber=1036 Edit: looks like a linked image whose host is having some problems Renaissance Robot posted:Oh myyyyy~ Renaissance Robot posted:The source server is returning a 502, knew I should have saved the image for posterity.

Wouldn’t be an open source project if it didn’t come with toggles to revert behavior to every previous version.

Yeah, I was going to do a toggle. I've read QCS before16-bit RDRAM posted:What function did you use to scroll the content? If it has an animated flag, can you try setting that to true? I'm using plain old scrollTo and behavior is already set to "smooth". But it's so fast that it's almost just a jump. My first approach was to use scrollIntoView(false), which seemed perfect as it scrolls to the bottom of the element. But it doesn't accept an offset, which I need to compensate for the bottom menu. So then I wasted ages trying CSS things that add scroll buffers that feed into scrollIntoView, like scroll-margin-top and scroll-snap-margin-top. And their padding counterparts. But none of that worked for ios, so now I'm calculating sizes of posts. Since scrollIntoView was my only reason for scrolling in the javascript part, I think I'll just return my offset to the swift part and do the scrolling there. That should be more animated

Posted a PR  It now animates just like the "Scroll to End" option and I put it behind a toggle that defaults to off. Doing the calculations in swift now, rather than javascript. It works, but i expect to be corrected on the variable types I used or something regarding that. I struggled with it. I tried adding light haptic feedback for the double tap, but found it annoying since I was tapping and feeling it all the drat time. So I removed that lol

minor request when you hit cancel on a post, it brings up this sheet  there’s no option to back out here, so all you can do is save draft and hit the post button to get back where you were. it’d be nice to have a, er, cancel button here. a “whoops, never mind” option

The Dave posted:You can swipe down on the title bar to dismiss the editor, it’s the same pattern from the mail app. I was typing the commit message for my second PR when I saw this lol It does work as you describe in Awful. My stock mail app on 14.4 doesn't work that way tho. It has a Cancel button and ignores swipes. My PR adds a Continue Replying button at the top, since I thought a separated Cancel button at the bottom looked bad. But that's how the mail app does it, so  Not precious about this change going in or not

That’s weird when you hit reply in mail you should see a little handle on top of the card and you can move it. Either way your cancel button isn’t doing any harm either.
