I would really prefer if you would be quiet.
lol I might go back to the beta if they ever push out the performance improvements that are apparently ready

Updates are slow coming these days, I wish we could get some QoL stuff, the smilies could use a tag search

It's unfortunate that pokeyman doesn't seem to have a lot of time to drop by lately. Hope all is well.

Not a major issue but I just came up on my yearly re-login and encountered a few bugs:

1. The login prompt did not correctly pull up the onscreen keyboard. Just a blank space. Killing the app and restarting was enough to get it playing nice.

2. The first attempt to log in resulted in a CTD. As with the other bug, killing and restarting got it over the hump.

3. The whole affair appears to have changed my selection of theme, at least for the light theme half of things. Dark mode settings seem to have persisted.

that mirrors my experience the last time i got logged out.

doesn't seem like there's anything on the horizon for new releases anymore though.

Should we look into forking the project?

I think that should be a last ditch solution over re-engaging with pokeyman and potentially looking into how to have more than one party release (though that also makes me nervous with some of the quality of rogue decision-making).

Pokeyman is still active, so I assume that he’s ignoring the app for a reason. (Like “sick of it” which is a fine reason.)

I don’t have strong feelings about forking etc but isn’t “sick of it and hasn’t touched for months” kind of the definition of “not active”? Who says pokey is going to return to active development, ever?

If anyone is in touch, I’d suggest asking about his plans…

I mean that he’s active on the forums in other threads.

Nobody is making any predictions about what Pokeyman will choose to do, and nobody is preventing (or indeed can prevent) you or anyone else from forking the app if they decide that’s what they want to do.

If PM is done with things that’s perfectly fine and his prerogative. We should try and sort out a path forward if he’s a done as it seems.

Two quick thoughts:

1. The numbers representing new posts are now really small
2. Pull to refresh loading indicators are invisible in dark mode

On the latest beta build, when swiping to dismiss the app the springboard icon is wrong during the unzoom animation.

Also in YOSPOS the page number selector is grey-on-white sometimes. Haven’t figured out the pattern!

I get like 5-10 calls a day that are “likely spam” so I decline them and then go clear them out every couple of weeks.

I don’t call people very often, but those are all voice mails that are 3 seconds of silence or 25 seconds of Mandarin, so I have to Do Work to delete them.

Should just be a CSS thing but would like if the time stamp string on posts would use the same color as the “Page count and Killed by” string in the top level of threads

This is easily readable


This isn’t

That light text in the bottom one needs to be much darker and maybe even bolder.

It’s the same with the OLED dark mode. It’s practically unreadable.

It’s been like this for over a year though so :shrug:

It’s fixed in the OLED dark beta theme, so it just seems like an oversight.

quick question, is there an option somewhere to swipe left from within a thread to bring me back to thread/forum listing? Or really any other option than hitting the < at the top left? Maybe a settings option I missed? Having to reach that far up with my thumb is really cramping my single hand browsing.

Unless I’m mistaken, the default is to swipe to the left to leave a thread and go to the thread listing. You don’t have to hit the < at all.
