stet/keith question or whoever is in charge of code these days

what are you using that feed for lukas?

I am slowly plugging away on this Android app

You know the problem I had a couple of years ago, the last time I changed my phone? It's back with my new phone.

It keeps a completely different state to every other login on the same account. Bookmarks not updating but only on this device.

Last time it got fixed because there was a phone fault and I replaced the device itself. Not sure they'll accept "ILX doesn't update properly" as a defect this time.

Okay, I now have an Android app that does All The Things that you can do logged-out. Want to add a couple things, like starring boards a la Zing Touch, but it's probably worth having other people look at this now. It is, uh, very reminiscent of Zing, except buggier and not as pretty.

Anybody have an Android device and willing to take it for a spin?

apk me bro

Sure, I will.

I also fixed said problem above this weekend finally, by doing maybe the 10th cache clear since I got the phone. Just weird.

theporouscity.com/app-release.apk

or http://theporouscity.com/app-release.apk

you'll have to have enabled apps from unknown sources in settings -> security

other things not finished: name, icon

this is really nice!! perfectly happy with how it looks, minimal and loads super fast just like ilx should be. plz never to change font to century gothic or w/e

havent found a trace of a bug yet. will definitely use once login happens (which i'm sure involves all the really hard stuff)

haha also you can keep 'flagging' too

pull-to-refresh would be a good addition

if i was really picky about the looks then the titlebar could stay white, or v pale grey. nothing wrong with navy but it compresses the page

Whoo, congrats! Let me know if you need help with any of the interactions. The login code is an absolute bastard to reverse-engineer, I can talk you through it when you get there.

xpost thank u for your feedback. you can hit that link again for one that has swipe to refresh on the threads list. lemme experiment with title bar colors.

thanks stet! I guess now's as good a time as any to dig into that. hopefully make progress before work gets crazier. lukasb at google's mail thing.

new version at that link with nicer toolbars, swipe to refresh thread (from bottom)

nice ty

shouldve said earlier "will definitely use" means "will happily pay for" btw!

still not encountered any bugs (what are the known ones?), u could/should probably take it to ile and get more eyes on it

will have a couple more cosmetic suggestions after everything else is sorted but they're totally nbd

oh yeah - links to specific posts don't work, just loads at the end of its thread per normal

Toolbars? I just see it as a reader (a very nice one though).

sorry aldo, I meant title bar.

oh that link problem makes sense, thanks. no other known bugs but this is my first Android app and I'm verrry rusty at coding. all suggestions very welcome.

Thanks for fixing the YouTube embed issue!

Also, maybe this has been discussed before, but any thoughts about making ILX an https site? Is that tough to do?

It's a little bit tough, but that's no excuse. It's on my list of things to do. I'm currently updating the sandbox with the latest versions of the code, and if it all looks OK, I'll send it to the real site soon

Thanks stet.

^^^^

the s in https stands for stet

Maintenance today. Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the maintenance.

dope, thanks for everything stet

i dont understand whats different

zing won't connect and search doesn't work but i guess the maintenance is goin on!

...and the mobile stylesheet is gone. I hope it comes back soon.

My bookmarks changed their order

Hi Christine!!

how do i set it to display numerals rather than written out numbers ("14 minutes ago" instead of "fourteen minutes ago")

The time lapses between posts are written out now instead of being indicated numerically. It distracts me every time I see it, like a rogue eyelash in my peripheral vision that I can't get ahold of.

weird because for me it's the way it's always been

is it me or is the text a lot crispier looking?

looks nice

i like the spelled-out durations and am looking forward to tuomas reposting them in finny

maybe we could have it say "twenty-two time minutes ago" so that I don't mistake "minutes" for units of angle

when is the anglocentricism going to stop

we should be more friendly to other languages

vive la revolution

Stupid bug in Zing has borked it, sorry about that. Quick fix is to delete it and reinstall.

Search will be back once the indexes are rebuilt, coming soon

And search should be back!

you're doing god's work stet

stettycakes

search is a no worky slowy

Are you doing a complex search? Basic ones are rattling along for me here. The index doesn't get updated in real-time though, so you can't see new posts instantly in search

Searched your terrible ideas

Seems a bit slow but could be my connection

I used to have to press submit twice now it works first time

Godlike prowess imo stet

the "x minutes ago" portion of each post now spells out the numbers? this is charming, but is it intentional?
