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

....financial support of ILX REGRET
(j/k)

I thought about writing an iOS alt-zing just as a project for myself to learn iOS development and this new version has pretty much every feature I would have wanted to implement

that is to say, it is excellent

My issues:

-Please consider adding an option for a thicker font. So hard to read. I'm finding it easier to just go back to the web version, at least I can zoom in on it.
-Did you use to retain the title of the thread at the top when you loaded it? The way it is now, I click and if I forgot what thread I'm in I have to go all the way back to the top, then back down to where I was to read the thread.
-When loading a thread the info/status bar at the bottom covers up the bottom half of the last post. Small thing, but an annoyance all the same.

Everything else is good.

I was gonna mention both of these too

but otherwise A+, LOVIN THIS NEW ZING SO MUCH

^^yeah this is pretty crucial

Thanks everyone! Most of these I think I can fix, so I'll take a look at them all for the next update.

I'm not blind but I'm old and have old eyes and ILX is slowing morphing into a board full of olds with old eyes so thicker font option would be pretty sweet.

I agree, I just was taking the opportunity to give Jeff crap

Carry on.

Is the serif font option no good?

Slightly better but makes me feel like I'm reading an old timey newspaper.

jeff is old but not too old

Huh, just got caught in some sort of xpost notification hell for a few minutes, pretty sure it wasn't on my end - kept popping up the xpost notification like 15 times when I had just submitted once.

Yeah, there's definitely a bug there. trying to fix it right now

holy shit this is amazing

i obviously always hate all change, always, until i get used to it, and then i hate the next set of changes

but this is awesome

Love it stet - two things on my part

- Sometimes it hangs when I refresh, the little circle of bars just stays there
- Is there a way to make it so that the bottom bar that pops up once you're in a thread doesn't obscure the last post in that thread

Ty!

I have the permanent refresh circle too, pretty much whenever I pull to refresh.

i miss the refresh button on the bottom of the home screen. not a big fan of pulling to refresh tbf.

Pull to refresh is infinitely better for me. Because so many other apps already use that mechanism to refresh, it's just odd to have to tap a button to do it.

maybe they can live together?

its not a big deal, to be clear. Slight preference.

prob already mentioned, but the Safari logo is blurry

Can we replace the "open safari" button with the generic up-arrow send-to-app?

Share sheet!

Sorry, I recently learned what that is called and I am excited to demonstrate my knowledge.

I appreciate it

Yeah, refresh on new answers is always a spinning circle of death over here as well.

Weird, I haven't seen this one before. You mean the big spinner keeps spinning, or the one by the network signal indicator?

Also, do you have any bookmarks?

I love the Clear/Clear? button! It should make everyone happy. Also love the link, image, bold, etc buttons all being in one row.

Improvements would be to display the thread title once in the thread, as prev. mentioned, plus a spinner when clicking on a link, so you know you've actually succeeded at clicking on it. And URL or page title once in a webpage. But mostly thank you and I hope to donate as soon as it becomes possible.

Yeah thread title is a big one, every thread looks like it's called "zing touch". It's amazing how quickly I forget which thread I clicked on.

Also is there still no way to see all your bookmarks? Search didn't seem to work, and I had to go into safari to find them the other day.

Looks great though, I dig it.

Big spinner. Basically if I'm in SNA and pull to refresh it does refresh the first time, but stays there spinning forever above the refreshed list. And iirc I can't refresh again while it's doing that - I have to go back to the home screen/board/bookmark list.

(I've got one bookmark hanging around that I haven't cleared up/updated for a few days.)

OH! This is in SNA? Shit, I see it now. Fixing.

woah everything looks different

still craving view all yr bookmarks support. app 2.0 looks amazing.

love the new version stet and have already used filter a number of times.

one additional thing - after a couple of weeks of zero ILX time I've got an embarrassing number of bookmarks. scrolling *up* through them (and it does seem like it's just up) is p glitchy.

small beer in the grand scheme of things, and as I say the app's great (like woof, it's prob my most used) but if you are doing a bit of mopping up...

new features seem neat but anyway to go back to old font? I can't even say what the difference is but I preferred it before.

curious what the sans-serif font is

avenir maybe

I usually like avenir in text setting but on the phone, I don't know, maybe just compared to before whatever this is looks too light and airy.

ya light small san serif is not the most readable combo

I'm sure I'll be used to it in no time.

the new font seems like it should be harder to read, but somehow I'm finding it easier than the old one

i think i stumbled on a bug:

i was in my account settings (trying to check/change my server) and somehow logged in seven times.

i had seven lists of bookmarks and seven "ilx boards" links.

uninstalled/reinstalled and everything's fine now

Is this thread breaking on zing for anyone else?

Maintaining a Digital Music Collection

yeah i have a few threads that won't load on zing

yesterday i couldn't bookmark my new position on that thread. but i'm using old zing bc i haven't updated ios yet.

I have one thread that won't load. Not enough info yet to suss the common denominator...

and yes, to be clear that thread does not load

the threads load over me like waves
