Flagging is an ILX app for Android (in beta)

Congrats lukas! Looks great

using this RN I like

a few posts of mine didn't go through, will try again (on computer right now)

also they were shitposts tbh so no great loss

Yeah posting was one of the last things to get added - I noticed today that for some reason Flagging can't post comments to the I Hate Apple thread. I'll look into but sorry if anyone loses deathless prose in the meantime :/

Dope

nice

yeah my posts weren't going through just now either

Just on the one thread?

submitted a test reply here a moment ago but it never arrived

app is pretty slick otherwise tho

Same question about phone and version of Android for you my friend

I post?

Ah success

I'm having trouble reproducing the phantom post thing, although I've seen it myself. Details helpful as mentioned above. I'll keep fiddling with it.

@lukas i use galaxy s6, android is version 6.0.1

oh hey that was posted via the app

Kind of a small annoyance but if I scroll halfway down the list of threads, open one, read it and then hit the Back button on my phone to return to the list, I'm returned to the top of the list rather than the point where I left off. If that could be fixed then great, if not no biggie.

Is there a minimum Android version for this? Doesn't seem to work properly on my phone, for instance "I only have ILM and ILE saved but I'm seeing a bunch of threads from other boards under New Answers" - there's no obvious way to select which boards appear on New Answers, they're all there. I think I'm on 4.4.

same on Android 7.1.2 , I can select and deselect boards with individual sliders and it remembers my choices but there's no effect on the post list (oh hey, I'm on 77? I don't remember if I knew that)

and I can reply to some posts but not others.

The board issue will be a quick fix. Still hoping to find a way to reproduce the posting issue.

u r my hero

bookmarking a post in Flagging on my phone does not seem to carry over to the board on my PC

Some people report this with Zing too; this might not be Flagging-specific. If you can figure out lukas I'd love to know

Are there maybe different server/instance values I should use?

Fixed a silly problem with posting replies to threads, guessing this is the bug people are seeing. Also fixed seeing threads from disabled boards. Won't be able to push this update until tonight tho.

thankig u

Wish I had an android just to try it!

superb, thanks dude. instant ilx HOF

hey I am posting this from Flagging works great!

(terrible joke about disabled boards flagged automatically by app)

trying this now!

is there an easy way to quote posts or put in links?

There will be in Flagging Pro, the non-free version :-)

those are on the list, kinder

When I get fired for spending too much work time on this I'll have plenty of time to add new features

!!! stoked to try this out, thx so much

sent it out with fixes, might take an hour or two to show up. you'll know you have the latest if the Settings page shows Flagging 1.1

can i see a screenshot

Follow the Google Play link at the top of the thread for screenshots.

Still struggling to get bookmarks to sync between flagging and browser version

yeah, like stet said, that's a known issue for Zing as well as Flagging. I'm going to add some logging to the app and see if I can track it down.

Board issue seems fine now, thanks for fixing that. I raised another minor issue upthread about scrolling, would be great if you could have a look at that sometime (low priority obv)

personalised updates! A+

I'd love to try this out, but I'm on Android 4.1.5 and I can't install it.

I'm not doing anything fancy, should be able to update the app to support that.

am i missing something obvious? is there a way to see updated bookmarked threads?

that's what 'bookmarks' is

revive this when you finally 'get' bookmarks

lol the order looked different than the web versh on first glance. it's not.

Arch I just uploaded a version that should work for you, available in a couple hours probably.

roger that

reading and replying in the app rn

the Madonna: classic or dud thread consistently crashes the app on my android 14

On desktop, the elapsed time between the most recent and previous posts in the Beth Gibbons thread reads "twenty years pass". On Flagging, it reads "twemty years pass".

xpost Weird, it was doing it for me, too!

"twemty years pass"

feature not a bug imo

What's going on with Flagging? I can't use it any more, because I've been getting "unable to log in" errors for the last three days. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but now I can't log in at all.

strange, it's working fine for me.

Hmm. Working for me. Can you try uninstalling and reinstalling?

for the last 3 days its been down for me too. getting a message saying a certification cant be confirmed.

working for me

For those having problems, what version of Android are you using?

just tried uninstalling then reinstalling version 1.28 on a 7.0 android and now at the edit account page when i try to log in after i type in email and password and go to SAVE i get

java.security.cert. CertPathValidatorException : Trust anchor for certification path not found

That's what I'm getting.

Can't reproduce it, so I'm sort of shooting in the dark, but there are a couple things I can try.

I have also been getting expired certification errors on ILX on Android Chrome for the past few days, also.

those of you having problems, what version of Android are you using?

open Settings, tap About Phone (near the bottom), tap Software Information

6.0.1

On a Samsung Galaxy J7 Sky Pro.

7.0
No software information tab just a software channel retgb

Ironically, the 4'33" thread won't load for me in this app.

yeah I'm waiting for it to open and nothing happen

I deselected "I Love Games" in the list of boards but the deselection doesn't stick, I still see ILG threads in new answers. No offence to the gamers but is there a fix for this?

No way that's purple: the NYT Connections thread

kinder mentioned a curious bug over there^^. Namely that my mark-up of hidden text (and mine alone?) is seemingly parsed oddly in the app. ie. this sort of thing. Possibly not a huge loss, as I post a lot of gibberish, but interesting nonetheless!

Though having removed a display name since I last posted, just in case, the problem may have evaporated for that^ demonstration!?!?!

yes I can see that one!

but I can't!

oh wait nm, I can see the hidden text in this thread but not in the Connections thread

Cheers for confirming!

Indie devs are going to be locked out of Android in September - is this relevant for the Flagging app?

https://keepandroidopen.org/

stupid question probably, since it's on the play store already, but IDK

Won't affect us. I paid the $, got my retina scanned etc to be a registered developer.

Great! Thank you for the sacrifice.

Incidentally, the problem with hidden/spoiler text mentioned some 10 posts up seems to persist the majority of time for me. eg. this post today:

Flagging is an ILX app for Android (in beta)

Are there perhaps some characters I should avoid putting inside the tags? I'm struggling to find a pattern. I mean, folks can easily click through to the web if they really give a toss, but given that this had seemingly not been a problem before about January 26th it's quite intriguing.

Sorry, *this* post today: No way that's purple: the NYT Connections thread
