can someone please post screenshots here for those of us who are itms:// deficient
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...

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. :)

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 (fifteen years ago) link
Holy lol at the screenshots
― Yeah~ I can flay~~~ (HI DERE), Saturday, 7 November 2009 17:22 (fifteen years ago) link
One thing I'd request; a white background on the app logo. It'd look so much nicer on my screen.

Found this thru my app store search. iPhone is being stupid and not letting me install.

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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
hey stet are u going to add admin log at some point?
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 8 November 2009 14:07 (fifteen years ago) link
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.

I like the message you get when you x post

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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
^ 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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
yes, exactly.
― max, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 14:21 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
oh, within zing of course, duh
id rather have a built-in archiving feature in zing
― max, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 15:42 (fifteen years ago) link
that seems simpler
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 15:43 (fifteen years ago) link
this kind of changes the way i look at ILX even. it's more like twitter now.

not caps lock i guess, auto capitalization of the first letter
gbx is a poster who traditionally posts in all lowercase
