Zing Touch: ILX now ON IPHONE (and ipod tooches too)

Why doesn’t ILX on iphone/safari warn you that other people have posted when you hit submit post?

I think that was put in because the OG Safari on Edge was so slow that you could get caught in xpost warnings forever on slow threads. Could probably take that out now.

New Zing version rolling out now: adds a preference for those snippets. Sorry it took so long!

thank you

So nice thanks!

:D

this is great

gooood thx stet

no idea why, but the recently revived Prodigy thread refused to open for me on zing...

Same here

There’s some old-ILX HTML in there somewhere that’s giving Zing pause

Old like flint... Thanks for checking stet.

Bookmarking the Filmforum thread on De Subjectivisten crashes the app.

Hmm works for me!

Hmm. I'm on an iPhone SE/12.2.
Maybe removing and re-bookmarking will work..

It didn't :/

Is that the only thread you can’t bookmark?

Yes. Out of 30-40 bookmarked threads that's the only one.

btw thx for fixing that thing where the menu text was all jumbled

Just weighing in to say I'm on iPhone 5S/12.2 and filmforum bookmarks just fine here.

New version rolling out now, mainly small changes:
- There's a dark mode toggle in the homescreen
- You can now swipe a bookmark left to set it to the latest message, and right to delete it
- You can now share a post as a link, or open it in your browser (tap a message and hit the share button)
- The single message page now follows the font size set in settings, and looks a bit less 2007.
- Zing copes better if messages have corrupt or bad HTML in them, and lets you open the thread in Safari instead of crashing.
- The keyboard's now quite dark in dark mode

Awesome! Have you looked at the rotate bug?

Yes, but haven't fixed it — it doesn't seem to be totally my fault, the tableview is doing something I can't quite explain but I might be able to work around it.

thx, man!

as always, many thanks. it’s a great app anyway and those additions all seem really useful.

All hail the Stet

Excellent update.

This is so good, first time using it and it’s great! Thanks stet!

you left off the “post anyway” feature when xposting, stet, which i was pleased to see tho muscle memory meant i clicked out and posted again anyway obv.

Rats, so I did, and that was the hardest bit to do

- You can now share a post as a link, or open it in your browser (tap a message and hit the share button)
- The single message page now follows the font size set in settings, and looks a bit less 2007.

Lovely update! Thanks stet

yes, thank you stet!

re: the recent update.

Bookmarks have disappeared from Zing for me but I still see them on the web.

same here

Back now. Thanks?!

stet, I saw that you added a few versions back a little Zing link at the top of mobile versions. But it just goes to the main page. Is there any chance you could have the app open web links to the actual thread? This would be a great way of effectively adding a search function.

that's a really good idea, yep

Where is that little Zing link again?

It appears when Apple decides it should, which is a bit opaque

Oh right. Can see it in safari but not in chrome

SEARCH.

It's rolling out now. It's not quite perfect, but it works: find threads, find posts, from the entire archive. Works if you have multiple sites added too.

It's surprising what a difference it makes — feels like an app full of 20 years of stuff now, rather than one that's just about bookmarks.

I said almost exactly ten years ago that I wanted to add it, and then y'know, things got busy, there was stuff to do, whatever, sorry. (Also: it was really surprisingly hard)

The big thing missing is sorting, I'll get on that for 2029.

(Zing is ten years old? Bloody hell)

You rule, stet. Thank you so much.

stet!! you're the best.

Whoop whoop
