Posting new threads with lengthy OPs in the awful app is probably the most frustrating thing about the internet.

You can’t scroll down easily so whatever you’re typing gets hidden behind the keyboard unless you have some magical Midas touch that only works about 10% of the time.

I agree. While it's cool that it exists (and that it's system wide) it's too hard to use, IMO. Having it be a keyboard (making it very small and only taking up a portion of bottom of the screen) makes trying to find and favorite the one you want is pretty hard.



I've been working on making a modal for the Windows app that has filters so you can search through them. Having something like that might be better UI.

Here are some updated ones that should work.

In the 2x / 3x folders

We're currently using the 'share' box-with-arrow-coming-out for post options, and it seems weird to hit that icon and have the same icon appear within that next menu. I've switched it back to the previously used chain link, which I've seen used by Apple somewhere before.

Also tweaked some others.

Thanks! These'll be in the next beta.

quote:

Okay, so you'd need 3 new animations then I think - a spinner that occupies the same space / shape as the circular icons, then a 'success' and 'failure' animation that (as seamlessly as possible) carries on from the spinner.

Do you think I should make these at the same dimensions or would it be possible / a good idea to make them at say, double the size so you could make them expand and center on screen once pressed?

Yep sounds like what I'm picturing. I don't plan on expanding and showing in the centre of the screen, so we're ok at the same dimensions. I'm not sure how much I like all the centre-screen loading HUDs and wouldn't mind scaling those back a bit, maybe some toast-style notification banners or something more out of the way.

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:

Awful.app just tried (completely unprompted, on opening) to use Handoff to paste a work email I had drafted and copied on my Mac into a post. Obviously this is really bad.

I think you've got some answers on this. Unfortunately I don't know of a way to check the pasteboard for a copied link without invoking Continuity to sync with your other devices. It's also an occasional source of slowness on launch (since we check for pasteboard contents on launch when that setting is enabled), which sucks. Your best bet is probably to turn off the "Check Clipboard for URL" feature.

It currently is based off image size, according to the Forum Rules. (Which might be horribly outdated for all I know.) But a setting is an entirely reasonable request.

I like this, and is good to know even if we also add a setting. Is FYAD the only place where timg is not allowed?

Did the "Allow Full Access" switch get turned off? Settings app > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Smilie Keyboard. Try turning that on and see if it helps.

Not rude at all and I hear ya. I do want to spend some time to fix it up, but since I'm spending zero time on it now it's not exactly a major burden to support.

When doing it originally, I thought it was a nice twofer to do the system-wide custom keyboard as well as allowing it to work for input within Awful itself. I wonder if we should do away with the custom keyboard for input within Awful and make a nicer popover-style or modal thinger, which would free up the actual keyboard to type in a search or filter field. If we do it right there's every reason we could reuse most of the custom keyboard stuff in this hypothetical smilie picker, so we get the best of both worlds.

Never hurts to get another report of the issue :) The "you are rate limited" one is new to me, but I'll add it to the list, maybe we're doing something silly.

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?
