There is also the buy-Stet-a-pint version, Zing Touch, which is £4.99/$7.99 and will probably get new features first. Right now they are identical, except for some wee ads in Zing Lite.

Stet this is really cool and would be even better if I had an Iphone :-( great work though.
just one question ... what the hell are you drinking at £4.99 a pint????
― tomofthenest, Saturday, 7 November 2009 11:42 (nine years ago) Permalink
it's ten bucks for us, more like "buy me a jug"
lol at screenshot #4

prediction: stet's gonna get wasted!
Oh god, he'll turn up at mine and make me drink vodka with a Blue Aftershock mixer.
Anyway, yes. This is truly a piece of aceness.

it's a (I believe) 70/30 split between Apple and stet, so I think it work out to about a pint :^)

stet this is awesome, thanks so much man!

Pint from me! Thank you!

Awesome stuff, thanks very much, everyone! I really appreciate it. I had no idea there were so many iphones on here.
koogs: There's some slightly out-of-date-but-mostly-right screenshots in this post
JimD: Yeah, am working on editing the boards that appear on the start page so you can cut it down to your favourites and reorder etc.

― elmo leonard (elmo argonaut), Saturday, 7 November 2009 14:55 (nine years ago) Permalink
I will, happily, because just yesterday I figured out how to do screenshots on an iPhone: as you hold the home button at the bottom, press the sleep button on top. It saves a screenshot to your photoroll, which you can then email to yourself and upload to tinypic.
Give me just a sec...
― nearly one-third of a man (Z S), Saturday, 7 November 2009 15:28 (nine years ago) Permalink
Oops, I didn't see stet's post just above with the link to screenshots. Yeah, it basically looks like that. The only main difference is that pictures don't appear in the thread - you have to click on the individual posts to see them. Which is actually fine, because it makes picture heavy threads load a lot faster.
Again, great work Stet, this is going to make goofing off on ILX waaaaay easier at work now. :)
― nearly one-third of a man (Z S), Saturday, 7 November 2009 15:35 (nine years ago) Permalink
Thank you! Yeah, it's never done the images inline -- the performance would be really horrible and slow. I might look at doing an image browser like in Facebook for picture threads, though.
― stet, Saturday, 7 November 2009 16:33 (nine years ago) Permalink
Holy lol at the screenshots
― Yeah~ I can flay~~~ (HI DERE), Saturday, 7 November 2009 17:22 (nine years ago) Permalink
One thing I'd request; a white background on the app logo. It'd look so much nicer on my screen.
― exploding angel vagina (Scik Mouthy), Saturday, 7 November 2009 18:05 (nine years ago) Permalink
Found this thru my app store search. iPhone is being stupid and not letting me install.
― kingfish, Saturday, 7 November 2009 18:19 (nine years ago) Permalink
An image browser would be fantastic!

D/l'ed the lite version today, will grab the $8 full when I get paid next week. Gotta save money for upcoming trip to NYC next week ON IPHONE.

feature request: landscape keyboard! also more bb code tags
― 囧 (dyao), Sunday, 8 November 2009 03:14 (nine years ago) Permalink
yep, have landscape keyboard working already, also the full set of bbcode will be in 1.1. I've got a few other fixes, but I couldn't upload them while it was in review without losing my place in the queue. App store is frustrating as hell.
― stet, Sunday, 8 November 2009 03:25 (nine years ago) Permalink
just spotted a bookmarking bug too. Will fix
I don't think stet making this app and stet running the server have anything to do with each other, jeff. If it were any other user writing the app would you have asked the question?
― Mark C, Sunday, 8 November 2009 11:18 (nine years ago) Permalink
hey stet are u going to add admin log at some point?
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 8 November 2009 14:07 (nine years ago) Permalink
Wasn't going to -- it's not in the API, so it'd be hard. Same with search, but I'd really like to add that somehow.
Shld also add SB for czn's portable suggestin needs.

desired feature when you can be arsed to get around to it: local timestamping for logged-in users?
― zing touch me I'm (sic), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 11:47 (nine years ago) Permalink
another request -
to stay where u were when u quit the app, instead of goin back to the list of boards
regardless - what a terrific program!!
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 11:49 (nine years ago) Permalink
^ yes, the latter

im embarrassed at how rad i find this app, i mean, i dont want to admit how great it is to use ilx on my iphone, but, you know.
any chance we could get archiving of bookmarks for offline browsing?
― max, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 13:36 (nine years ago) Permalink
you could just use instapaper for all yr offline bookmarkin needs - i find myself using it more than safari these days
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 13:38 (nine years ago) Permalink
Tracer: does it need to save whereever you are, or can it just remember if you're reading a thread or in the middle of compose. I've been trying to save state, but it's a bit tricky as the server can completely change between launches, and threads that were there have dropped off new answers.
Archiving of bookmarks is a good idea actually -- then you could bookmark a post before getting on the subway or w/e, and the whole thing'd be there on the phone. Or I could add in Instapaper integration.
― stet, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 14:15 (nine years ago) Permalink
exactly as it was wd be ideal but just remembering what thread you were reading wd be almost as great
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 14:20 (nine years ago) Permalink
yes, exactly.
― max, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 14:21 (nine years ago) Permalink
does instapaper even need integration? i just hit the "read later" bookmark in firefox and BILL VIOLA this thread is there
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 15:12 (nine years ago) Permalink
oh, within zing of course, duh
id rather have a built-in archiving feature in zing
― max, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 15:42 (nine years ago) Permalink

― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 4 October 2018 23:02 (two months ago) Permalink
bookmarks in zing show a preview of the latest post in the thread underneath the thread title, takes up a lot of room and often contains spoilers.
― Machine Gunk Jelly (Spottie), Thursday, 4 October 2018 23:54 (two months ago) Permalink

Not sure why but the “help me learn Japanese” thread will not load any answers at all on iOS 12. Everything else fine apart from the occasional lockup.
