Flagging is an ILX app for Android (in beta)

I haven't seen the issue with the boards. What phone / Android version?

I'll look into those other requests. The background color thing shouldn't be tough. Might do.something about the typeface as well although Android doesn't make it easy.

S7 Edge, Android 6.0.1. It doesn't seem to save the chosen boards correctly, keeps a few but adds a random bunch more.

Yeah I have something similar with the boards. In my case I only have ILM and ILE saved but I'm seeing a bunch of threads from other boards under New Answers. Also S7 Edge, Android 6.0.1.

i am just another APPL stooge but I am very excited to see the fruition of all your

HTML Playground posts and etc

Great news!

awesome, thanks

Just updated to Android version 7 and all boards working fine now

Interesting. That shouldn't be ... will check out.

There are a few other known issues: sometimes will crash after coming back from a long sleep, and sometimes will get into a broken state when it fails to reach the server. Killing and restarting the app fixes.

Congrats lukas! Looks great

using this RN I like

a few posts of mine didn't go through, will try again (on computer right now)

also they were shitposts tbh so no great loss

Yeah posting was one of the last things to get added - I noticed today that for some reason Flagging can't post comments to the I Hate Apple thread. I'll look into but sorry if anyone loses deathless prose in the meantime :/

Dope

nice

yeah my posts weren't going through just now either

Just on the one thread?

submitted a test reply here a moment ago but it never arrived

app is pretty slick otherwise tho

Same question about phone and version of Android for you my friend

I post?

Ah success

I'm having trouble reproducing the phantom post thing, although I've seen it myself. Details helpful as mentioned above. I'll keep fiddling with it.

@lukas i use galaxy s6, android is version 6.0.1

oh hey that was posted via the app

Kind of a small annoyance but if I scroll halfway down the list of threads, open one, read it and then hit the Back button on my phone to return to the list, I'm returned to the top of the list rather than the point where I left off. If that could be fixed then great, if not no biggie.

Is there a minimum Android version for this? Doesn't seem to work properly on my phone, for instance "I only have ILM and ILE saved but I'm seeing a bunch of threads from other boards under New Answers" - there's no obvious way to select which boards appear on New Answers, they're all there. I think I'm on 4.4.

same on Android 7.1.2 , I can select and deselect boards with individual sliders and it remembers my choices but there's no effect on the post list (oh hey, I'm on 77? I don't remember if I knew that)

and I can reply to some posts but not others.

The board issue will be a quick fix. Still hoping to find a way to reproduce the posting issue.

u r my hero

bookmarking a post in Flagging on my phone does not seem to carry over to the board on my PC

Some people report this with Zing too; this might not be Flagging-specific. If you can figure out lukas I'd love to know

Are there maybe different server/instance values I should use?

Fixed a silly problem with posting replies to threads, guessing this is the bug people are seeing. Also fixed seeing threads from disabled boards. Won't be able to push this update until tonight tho.

thankig u

Wish I had an android just to try it!

superb, thanks dude. instant ilx HOF

hey I am posting this from Flagging works great!

(terrible joke about disabled boards flagged automatically by app)

trying this now!

is there an easy way to quote posts or put in links?

There will be in Flagging Pro, the non-free version :-)

those are on the list, kinder

When I get fired for spending too much work time on this I'll have plenty of time to add new features

!!! stoked to try this out, thx so much

sent it out with fixes, might take an hour or two to show up. you'll know you have the latest if the Settings page shows Flagging 1.1

can i see a screenshot

Follow the Google Play link at the top of the thread for screenshots.

Still struggling to get bookmarks to sync between flagging and browser version

yeah, like stet said, that's a known issue for Zing as well as Flagging. I'm going to add some logging to the app and see if I can track it down.

yeah exactly. works fine when I switch to browser.

just noticed the new search box! ace, thankyou

hey, spoiler tags are in play now!!! this is awesome, thanks.

FYI, have had an issue intermittently this week, where after opening a thread, the posts display, but neither the title block at the top nor the plus-sign at the bottom will appear, with or without scrolling/poking. i had thought maybe it was a problem with big threads cause it was mostly happening to me in the US Politics thread, but i just checked that one again and the problem didn't happen. (for all i know, this is idiosyncratic and will go away if i reboot my phone - just posting in case others can report yay or nay on experiencing this.)

Oops, my bad - it's happening when I go from the *thread* to the *post*. And seems to be pretty consistently happening on the US politics thread.

hmmmm

would there be any easy way to add a "night mode" (light text on dark background) to this thing?

Yes. Yes. Yes.

+1 for dark mode, came here to post this

It's not screamingly likely unless we find an Android developer willing to deal with the code I wrote.

I put my (2 year old, android 11) phone in dark mode and Flagging works just fine like that

the 2022 sight & sound ballot thread seems to instantly crash flagging when opened

I have it with the Bruce Springsteen - Classic or Did? thread now. immediate crash.

Dud, even

yeah same

Also crashing for me when I open the "most racist city in America" thread.

I'm dusting off the stuff I need to work on this app but it's gonna be a bit, sorry.

No hurry!

Often I find that trying to post anything, in any thread, on my phone (Android) immediately crashes/freezes the app. I have to force quit and restart, and then it seems to work again.

Would it be possible to do something about YouTube embeds? Just a normal link would be fine.

I just submitted a release that should fix YouTube embeds, once it gets through Play Store review.

I'll probably bump this in a week to catch some of the people who have given up on YouTube embeds at this point.

Reminder for folks that missed it that Youtubes should work again

They do, but generally you have to click through to watch the vid or even see what it is, it looks like this

generally I do this just to see what the vid is, and yt makes you watch an ad before it even reveals the title. is there a way to pull the thumbnail for these videos? suspect not, but thought it worth asking.

thanks as always for all your hard work on this great app

Yeah I'd have to bounce the YT request off a server in a different country, unfortunately.

Pulled from the Play Store because of.a screenshot that has been in the app listing for six years. Will fix soon, don't think anyone with the app should be affected.

roger that

reading and replying in the app rn

the Madonna: classic or dud thread consistently crashes the app on my android 14

On desktop, the elapsed time between the most recent and previous posts in the Beth Gibbons thread reads "twenty years pass". On Flagging, it reads "twemty years pass".

xpost Weird, it was doing it for me, too!

"twemty years pass"

feature not a bug imo

What's going on with Flagging? I can't use it any more, because I've been getting "unable to log in" errors for the last three days. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but now I can't log in at all.

strange, it's working fine for me.

Hmm. Working for me. Can you try uninstalling and reinstalling?

for the last 3 days its been down for me too. getting a message saying a certification cant be confirmed.

working for me

For those having problems, what version of Android are you using?

just tried uninstalling then reinstalling version 1.28 on a 7.0 android and now at the edit account page when i try to log in after i type in email and password and go to SAVE i get

java.security.cert. CertPathValidatorException : Trust anchor for certification path not found

That's what I'm getting.

Can't reproduce it, so I'm sort of shooting in the dark, but there are a couple things I can try.

I have also been getting expired certification errors on ILX on Android Chrome for the past few days, also.

those of you having problems, what version of Android are you using?

open Settings, tap About Phone (near the bottom), tap Software Information

6.0.1

On a Samsung Galaxy J7 Sky Pro.

7.0
No software information tab just a software channel retgb
