The last time I mentioned this I should have kept my mouth shut. I said that the links at the bottom of the page should say first page/last page since it went to the top of the last page, not to the last post.



Then it got changed to actually go to the last post, which to me kinda sucks because then I go Last Post >end of last page>immediately scroll back to top of last page.

Maybe other people want to catch up by only reading the very last post of a thread but I pretty much always want a little context so starting at the top of the last page of the thread was way better.

This is a pretty minor thing, but is there any chance you can tweak the bookmark colors? Using the white theme, it’s pretty difficult to read the unread post count for anything bookmarked yellow.

I feel like ages ago the unread count was in a circle or something that made it easier to read, but I might be misremembering.

Also is adding a space before anything pasted an iOS thing? It breaks img rags if the first character is a space, but if that’s just iOS’s behavior I imagine there’s nothing you can do about that.

Maybe the value #00142b would be good for unread. It's a similar brightness but the same level of saturation and same hue as the top two bars.

Also, one more colour thing that should be changed is the background black should be changed to proper #000000 black for the OLED iPhone X, it's currently #060606.

I reckon all the yellows in app should be the same as the stars on the forum list - #ffcd00 - which are slightly darker than the current yellow used for the bookmark numbers. If we could change the stickied thread corner triangles to this value too that'd be good for consistency.

Thanks for all of the excellent work on this app!

I have a small bug that's easily overcome by force quitting the app. Occasionally, and I cannot pinpoint WHEN it happens, I cannot open a handful of bookmarks. It's as if there isn't an area to tap on to select it. I can scroll the list of bookmarks, and random other threads will work, but some just won't. It's inconsistent, different location of bookmark (1st/3rd/etc.) as well as different threads.

Not sure if you were aware of it, so figured to file it away. Not a big one to move to the top of the list though.

Hey this got me thinking and I threw some mockups together:

spanky the dolphin posted:

Adding to that a bit, here's a mock up of how I could see it working.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqSc06_5mZY

I've thought for a while that it'd be good for the background to blur / fade / both when a button's triggered and the icons come up since sometimes I hit a button and don't realised they've popped up.

Also maybe the 'Joined 08/10/2004' bit under the usernames could be switched to how it displays in the desktop forums - 'Oct 08, 2004' and given a bit more spacing below the username. It's a bit more compact that way and cleaner.

Shear Modulus posted:

I'm also having this issue with the newest version. To elaborate further, what happens now is that hitting "preview" puts you on the preview screen, but the button in the top-right says "preview" and hitting it slides the screen to the right but gives you the exact same screen (that is, it says "preview" and acts like a preview button). Hitting cancel on the preview screen and then the post icon again (ie, from the thread view) loads the preview screen back up (not the compose post screen, but I'm not sure which of the two screens (compose post and preview) is the intended behavior is for canceling out of the preview screen then hitting the post icon again), but now the top-right button is "post" and submits the post.

The same behavior happens on editing. Hit edit, type your edit, hit preview (go to a preview screen that will take you to an endless series of preview screens), cancel out, hit post again, hit save.

I also deleted a bookmarked thread and it happened so fast I had no idea which one. The tolerance between grabbing a thread for deletion and swiping back to view a thread is too narrow.

Perhaps a pop up box asking if you want to remove the bookmark would solve? I imagine that is a pretty rare action as to not being overbearing.

Nice thread. Was about to post in QCS to ask for something.

First thanks for the hard work really appreciate the free and light app to browse the forum with a customizable font size etc.

Can you make the top and bottom bar disappear when you scroll down and only app again when you scroll back up or something? Basically an option to prevent screen burn in on the X without the constant bar and and white text on the top.

Another possible way of doing this is when you scroll down, the top bar change into the same color as the page eg. turns black if the overall page has black background and leaving the clock and signal white.

When you scroll back up, the page top will become a different color than the page itself and the text will also be inverted against whatever it was before.

This only happens in split view on iPad:

2. Tap Preview in the nav bar

Expected: preview of post with a Post button on the nav bar
Actual: there is a Preview button in the nav bar where Post should be, allowing an endless stack of preview VCs

Oddly if I get rid of the other split view app and make Awful fullscreen it fixes itself.

I tried to reply to a thread, hit reply, and the app crashed. When I reopened it, my bookmarks page shows the thread with one unread post, killed by me, but when I click on it I get a blank where the post should be, just black, no posts at all. I can scroll to the top and get the parent forum / previous posts / scroll to end buttons. When I hit previous posts, all the posts before the one I tried to make appear, but without an “end of thread” note. When I drag up from the bottom to load more posts, then the end of thread note appears. If I go back to my bookmarks, it still shows my waiting unread post. Loading the thread in Firefox shows the post is not there, but my usercp.php DOES show the waiting unread post just like in Awful.

Either the forums are loving something up or something about Awful making the post hosed the forums up, who knows, I’m not a computers mechanic

Complementary feature request: add a Forward arrow at the top right of the bookmarks tab that returns you to the current thread, as another mechanism for performing the action currently only available with a swipe-right-edge gesture. This would better mirror the current return-to-thread-listing action which is activated by both a swipe-left-edge gesture and that top left Back arrow in the thread view.

When i try to delete old PMs in the app it’s not working. I hit edit, then the minus next to the pm, and the delete button slides out on the right. When i tap that it just slides shut and the PM doesn’t get deleted.

If you hit edit on a post, and then back out and try to quote or post instead, the app still tries to edit and the top right corner says “save”


Yup. I’m on iPhone 7 Plus, using the bug to not quote your post right now.

Nude posted:

Sometimes the app crashes when I try to quote someone but for the life of me I can't figure out how to reproduce it. Guess I'm just reporting it as it's been happening more frequently, I'll let you know if I figure out how to reproduce it.

It seems to sometimes happen if I type something, go back a page and quote someone. (On iPhone 8 latest version)

So there's been some discussion in the iPhone thread about uploading pictures to Imgur through the app. I think it's an understood thing that trying to do so fails about 99% of the time, most people seem to think for API rate limit reasons, but I swear to god that there is a way to upload pictures to Imgur with 100% success rate in my experience.

This way fails most of the time:

• Tap empty text field
  
• Tap [img]
  
• Tap From Library
  
• Choose picture
  

I have never seen this method fail:

• Copy picture you want to upload (as in tap on the image, or share button, and hit copy)
  
• Tap empty text field
  
• Tap [img]
  
• Tap Paste
  

I tried looking into the code to see where these events were called/handled but I don't know enough about iOS programming to know what the hell I'm looking for. I grepped for 'imgur' but don't really know enough Swift to understand what I was looking at. I just want to know if these two methods are actually calling different methods or using different inputs somehow, or if I am just super lucky.

Keith Atherton posted:

After long pressing an image to see it full size I find myself constantly accidentally dismissing the image when zoomed in and "scrolling" around the image

I'm not even sure what the dismiss gesture is that triggers that but I always scroll too far in one direction or another and then I'm back in the thread. It would be cool to have it be more obvious what's going on or simply just make it "tap image to bring up the "Done" button to close"

carry on then posted:

Also, can we do something about :

Swift code:

override var refreshControl: UIRefreshControl? {
        // These were here to help migrate away from UIRefreshControl. Might as well leave them in to make sure we don't accidentally try something.
        get { fatalError("use pullToRefreshView") }
        set { fatalError("use pullToRefreshView") }
    }

It breaks capturing the UI hierarchy.

With the most recently-released version, it appears that thread titles in the bookmarks list being grayed out if the thread is closed is not working.

Any chance of that returning?

Stare-Out posted:

Bookmarks flash white in dark mode when you open them, is this an intended thing? Nothing against it, just checking that it's working as it should be.

carry on then posted:

My guess is it's an overeager gesture recognizer that sees any pan down as the downward swipe that means close the view. We can probably adjust that to be more discriminating, or at least only work when the image is zoomed out.

Odd bug that just started. I'm running the most recent 11.3 public beta. The app doesn't seem to save the most recent view when the phone goes to sleep. I can be in one thread and if the phone sleeps and I wake it the app will show a thread from several minutes ago before refreshing to where I was after a few seconds.

This doesn't seem to happen if I exit the app to the home screen. Only sleep.

mrfishstick posted:

Had this bug for at least a few releases so I thought I would toss in a report:

Embedded twitter links appear to only be loading every other page within a thread. Meaning, they will load fine one page and after advancing to the next page, the twitter links will not parse and instead just be generic url links to tweets but load just fine again after the page is changed.

Just wanted to throw out an idea to make the Awful app even more betterer.

If I’m reading through a giant thread that’s somewhat old and difficult to find, it’d be nice if you could pin it similar to pinning sub forums. That way it stays above your regular list of bookmarks, but is easier to get back to.

Thanks for all the work on making this app cool and good

Am I missing it or is there not an option to show previous posts by default? Every time I open one of my bookmarks I generally want to look at the last few posts to get my bearings. It's easy enough to bop the button every time but if I could set this as a default it would be great. I dug through and didn't see such an option, but I might have missed it.

98% of the time I'm on an android device (or normal browser) so it's possible there's some apple-ism here that I'm not aware of since I don't use this ipad all that often.

this one has been around a while so it's probably known but if you open a thread that's unread, finish reading it (say it's just a few posts) and then go back, it will jump like 80% of the way down the page. it's kind of annoying if I don't want to read that thread any more because I'll have to go track it down to mark it as unread.

anyway thanks for your time spent doing the good work.

I thought it might be useful for you; the issue where posts don't appear properly after using the app for a while until you force quit has changed in the newest beta--now the images for post actions are also only partially loading, where they used to load regardless of the incomplete posts.

I figured out the crash! It's when I send multiple requests to quote someone on spotty WiFi. What I do (and this only applies to when it is slow) is a hit quote multiple times (pretty quickly). And it will consistently crash.

Now that I know the case though it's not a big deal for me.

So here's a thing I just found out: Mobile youtube links in the format
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVEkftO2J1s&t=306s

will properly retain the time when youtube inevitably kicks you to the mobile site, but
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVEkftO2J1s#t=306s

which works on desktop, doesn't work for mobile. The only reason I found this out is because the former worked for the first time ever from the awful app and I was all like because literally every youtube link I've seen on SA is in the latter format. I know it's extremely bespoke, but I doubt youtube would ever fix it-- is there any way to either "Set the awful in-app browser to request the desktop site" or, barring that, "fix youtube timestamps" as a toggle?

Fedule posted:

I don't have a lot of data to prove this, but I suspect Awful is incorrectly rounding down instead of up when assigning rating graphics to threads that are exactly on the threshold. (Eg it will give 4 to a thread on 4.5, or 3 on 3.5, etc etc.)

About the scrolling and accidentally loading the next page thing, what the Android app does is allow you to set the percentage of the screen you need to scroll. I bumped it up a bit slightly from the default and no longer get accidental new pages in that one. The ios app seems to be around 10-15 percent maybe, or at least whatever it is for me is rather low so I accidentally go to the next page a lot. Maybe make that configurable perhaps?

(I'm not trying to just say to make the whole thing like the android app or say that one is better, BTW. Please don't take it that way.)

Mr. Nice! posted:

Something i’ve noticed is once a thread is stickied it seems to stay inside the sticky thread rotation forever. For example, TFF has only two stickied threads. However on my app it has the chat thread, three previous stickied threads (nick foles > brady, the eagles won thread, and the XFL thread), then the rule thread. If any thread falls off page one it drops out of the sticky section, but any posts will put these threads right back up with the stickied threads even though they are no longer sticky.

I hope all of that makes sense. It’s been a long weekend.

Edit: here’s a screenshot.

Why on earth is user customization (hide it under an 'Advanced' thing if you want) a terrible idea? Not everyone has the same preferences.

shortspecialbus posted:

Well, I like it, I just don't like it triggering with such a small pull is all. Or at least not when I start my scroll when I'm not at the bottom of the page - maybe have it not do the pull for next page if you weren't already at the bottom of the page when you do your scroll? That might solve the problem itself, if it would be feasible.

Billzasilver posted:

It’s pretty good for me. maybe if it was a user set it 5% higher. More interestingly, you go read a page with just 1 new post and 39 previous posts not showing, it’s almost impossible to pull up to the next page. You need to pull up by over half the screen length.

I've been having problems with the thread list, particularly when scrolling to a next "page".

Why not have the thread list work like pages in a thread do where the cutoff is clearer and easier to navigate?

When browsing on iPad with a keyboard I hit the space bar to jump down the thread a bit. Quite often this stops working - it can be if I look at an image full screen, or click a link then return.

I've noticed that I can (sort of inconsistently) get the space bar working again by pressing various buttons in the thread (thread settings, share button, (...) button. If I mash these buttons on and off enough eventually the keyboard has an effect again.

It feels similar to if a window on a desktop loses focus or something. Would be great if this didn't happen but realise it's a bit of an edge case.

Aka only scroll to top of page when tapped at the line along the bottom of the notch?

Bumping the min requirement to 12 would be convenient, but maybe too aggressive. iOS 11 adoption has been real slow, iPhone 5 is still fairly common, and we'd lose the long tail of people's old iPads. Unless iOS 12 goes gangbusters from the start or our userbase is way ahead of the adoption curve, it'd probably make sense to do the bare minimum work to keep those updating (I like the idea of just fixing preview/theme).

What kind of analytics do we have? I didn't see hw.machine being logged, but percentage on iOS 10.3.3 from connect or crashlytics might be a useful proxy for device breakdown.

Any chance you could make posts from ignored users smaller? I know currently it's displaying a link to show the ignored post but maybe you could word it so it only takes up a line?

carry on then posted:

The thing is I don't think Awful.app does anything special for ignored posts. So it would have to start doing something special since right now it just renders the post as is.

I've posted about this before but I have an issue where forums will auto-refresh but the thread list is messed up and there will be dead threads listed. Instead of the standard number of threads on the first page there are like two pages worth and at the end the "pull up to go to next page" doesn't work. Manually pulling down at the top of the thread list to refresh fixes it. Ive only noticed it in GBS and PYF (I know, lol don't read those forums problem solved lol).

Not a huge deal and maybe just me but wanted to report

Grace Baiting posted:

Just wanted to mention that the "[/..]" keyboard button while posting still doesn't understand nested bbcode tags, and instead repeatedly attempts to re-close an already closed tag. So if you write bold-italics and try to close both tags with the "[/..]" button, and then hit it a few more times for fun, you'll get:

code:

[b][i]for closers[/i][//i][///i][////i][/////i]

I know I've mentioned this before (and iirc it cropped up after switching to Swift for the regexes, possibly?) but I think that was all in the old thread.

Hey, I've made these now. They're named unread-msg, read-msg, rep-msg and fwd-msg.

(In the 2x & 3x folders)

I've also made changes to the others in the set (still same naming and dimensions) so if you could pop those into the next beta that'd be great!

e: Some other things - Share URL could maybe just be Share. I've changed that icon to the more typical share icon.

The brightness sun icons in settings currently appear black on the dark theme.

I still have the issue where every now and then the screen will not be responsive unless I open threads with 3D Touch.

Not a huge inconvenience since it’s easy to just close the app and reopen, which has fixed it 100% of the time, just something I figured the dev would like to know.

iOS 11.4 and the most recent release of awful app.

Sorry to bring this up again but I gave my wife my Android tablet so I'm using the iPad Pro more and I'm still consistently moving to the next page in a thread accidentally. I don't want to disable swipe for next page, but I think we'd talked about maybe it needing to be a bit more of a distance or something? Are there any plans in the near future to maybe implement something along those lines? I won't ask for an adjustable setting this time I promise.

Looke posted:

Just noticed I can change the app icon, thanks!!! Some really cool alternatives

spanky the dolphin posted:

Where else in the app could we have unique animations? I made some others a while ago we could try implementing. I think the and work well in their current places (loading threads/loading thread lists.) I thought the tick when you add a bookmark could be replaced with an animating tick on the book icon. Removing a mark could have the cross on a book (currently does another tick I think.)

Just previewing this post now and there's a blank screen for a second. Maybe one can go there? Top priority would probably be a satisfying animation for when you make a post.

I'm always willing to add new app icons. Not all of smilies translate well though.

Subjunctive posted:

I don’t think you can do the tag auto-closing with just regexes. You need to work backwards to track matched pairs, so you’d have to reverse the string, do the search, manage an arbitrarily deep capture set, and generally befoul things. I loaned a friend my laptop, but I suspect a straight port of the old logic into Swift would be reasonable.

Also, when replying to a PM, the text area doesn’t resize out of the way of the keyboard, so you end up with text and caret hidden underneath it. I bet that’s on the list somewhere.

Fair enough, I can dig into it when I have time. Is there a irc or slack channel of which we could discuss this crap?

ratbert90 posted:

So the twitter issue seems to be a bit more complicated than I want.

Switching over to grabbing the latest widget.js doesn't help, it seems to still create a malformed video URL. Not sure where to go from here, as I am a lowly embedded Linux engineer that doesn't do the new fangeled twitters.

Odly enough, if I create a page on my desktop with the exact same JS, it seems to work. So it might be a iOS thing?

spanky the dolphin posted:

Oh yeah that's a cool idea. So you mean like if you hit the Post Settings button in the lower left the circular switches would swap places or something?

At the moment those bottom corner buttons (and the ... button) are obscured a bit by the 'tab' of the bubble that appears. I feel like that interface needs to be updated a bit - like maybe the background could dim more and blur out to emphasise the new window in the foreground. At the same time the button pressed could remain at full brightness and animate to its active state. Could also remove that little tab on the bubble.

In case more detail helps: I get the preview loop on iPhone (but not iPad, that seems to work fine) and when I cancel out to the thread and re-open the compose screen it gives me the option to immediately post the previously-composed message (which works).

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.

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?

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.

Lol sorry should have scanned this page. But same for me FYI. I also occasionally get the weird thing where when I click a twitter link and it opens in the awful browser (where I don't believe I have my twitter login info saved) it won't display the tweet and gives me the "Sorry, you are currently rate limited!" error -- it's inconsistent though and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't so it's unfortunately hard to nail down how or why it happens. I will definitely give you the benefit of the doubt and just assume the twitter API sucks rear end
