Not exactly urgent, but I am finding that the latest version of this app crashes when I am reading a message and tilt it to landscape. I’m on iOS 16.3.1.

Naive Teen Idol, Wednesday, 19 April 2023 21:59 (one year ago) link

It’s been like that for years, for me.

Any chance the dark mode could be tied to the system setting? The number of phones without that feature must be pretty small now.

Love this app and have a feature request:
In-app toggle to lock orientation - I don't think I'll ever use landscape mode on my phone.

I've put it on the list, but while you wait this is pretty easy to automate with Shortcuts. Just make a new Automation that sets orientation lock on every time Zing opens (and another one that disables it when Zing closes). Ok now I type it out that sounds cumbersome, but it's pretty easy!

Dear stet, I thought I had asked about this but I can’t see that I did in any of the zing threads so ignore me if I’ve brought it up before and you said no.

Is there any chance of a function to hide certain thread titles from sna? If not no problem, but not sure how doable it would be

I have in fact built this - but to make room for a button to do it, I then did the thing you’re supposed to not do and bundled it with another change (an in-line composer) which is turning out to be bloody tricky and is making the whole thing take ages. I’ll try and hurry up.

stet, Friday, 5 January 2024 00:05 (eleven months ago) link

Oh seriously don’t rush on my account, even knowing it’s a possibility is cool af. Thank you for replying!

Has this 24 hour time stamp thing always been there? I thought it was just the date

calstars, Sunday, 10 March 2024 23:40 (eight months ago) link

Been there a good while, but I'm only just realising that this is not at all helpful for US folks. I'll see if I can localise it

stet, Monday, 11 March 2024 14:41 (eight months ago) link

Probably just personal preference, but I'd love the dark mode to use actual black as the background. Sometimes I read ILX when I can't sleep and it would be great to emit less light and not disturb my partner. I already have brightness at the lowest and even the "darken white point" accessibility setting engaged.

assert (matttkkkk), Monday, 11 March 2024 22:23 (eight months ago) link

What would be great is if it could be dynamic based on system settings…

calstars, Monday, 11 March 2024 22:44 (eight months ago) link

I’m in the US and 24 hour timestamps are fine

New build with Apple, it has all these things and more!

stet, Monday, 18 March 2024 00:30 (eight months ago) link

Oh, it doesn’t have the orientation lock, I forgot about that

stet, Monday, 18 March 2024 00:30 (eight months ago) link

stet you are a gem. Could it be a paid app or have in-app purchase to say thanks?

assert (matttkkkk), Monday, 18 March 2024 00:34 (eight months ago) link

I'll see if I can localise it

Can you please change it back, tia

bae (sic), Monday, 18 March 2024 00:37 (eight months ago) link

It now works with whatever your “Use 24-hour clock” setting is in system settings, it’s not based on where you are.

stet, Monday, 18 March 2024 00:39 (eight months ago) link

ok but still

bae (sic), Monday, 18 March 2024 01:01 (eight months ago) link

whoa big moves. stet this is brilliant!

Are the handy formatting tools gone ?

calstars, Monday, 18 March 2024 11:28 (eight months ago) link

Yeah I was going to say - I use that formatting setting constantly.

However, this rules. (Not really muting this thread, just trying the function out).

Also you can remove accidental bookmarks straight from the app which rules

Roman Anthony gets on his horse (gyac), Monday, 18 March 2024 11:45 (eight months ago) link

Calstars: the double SNA is a bug, fastest way to fix will be to reinstall.

I’ll be bringing back the formatting tools for sure - they just didn’t make the cut for this release

stet, Monday, 18 March 2024 12:02 (eight months ago) link

Cheers buddy

Is it no longer possible to bookmark at a specific message in a thread?

Jeff, Monday, 18 March 2024 12:52 (eight months ago) link

Wow this looks great!

Ned Raggett, Monday, 18 March 2024 12:53 (eight months ago) link

Jeff: tap the message you want to bookmark, then press the “book” icon bottom-right of the message page.

stet, Monday, 18 March 2024 13:00 (eight months ago) link

Ah, ok, that worked. Not obvious since it was using the old UI element and there wasn’t any visual feedback.

Jeff, Monday, 18 March 2024 14:08 (eight months ago) link

Love the new icon too

calstars, Monday, 18 March 2024 17:34 (eight months ago) link

And dynamic theme switching yesss

if you push the “post” button with nothing in the text box it says your internet connection no worky

Great work. 77 threads now show up on the app.

Threads like this want to make me add reactions to ILX so I can put hearts everywhere

stet, Tuesday, 19 March 2024 06:45 (eight months ago) link

if you push the “post” button with nothing in the text box it says your internet connection no worky

at first this annoyed me bcz the post button looked like it was a button saying you can now upload images to dedicated ilx hosting

but once I figured it out I decided the no worky is just a new poxy fule (in terms of in-crowd) and should stay for 8-19 years

bae (sic), Tuesday, 19 March 2024 06:50 (eight months ago) link

Yes, I found that when pressing buttons to see what they did. I guess now I know what the arrow is I won't be pressing it with

Alba, Tuesday, 19 March 2024 08:49 (eight months ago) link

One thing I miss: if you type a new post then hit the back button, it no longer stores what you've typed when you go back to it. I can see myself getting very annoyed at losing a whole half-written post by accident!

This doesn't apply to replies where you tap on a message then tap on the bendy arrow to reply - that seems to use the old interface and draft replies are cached fine.

Alba, Tuesday, 19 March 2024 08:52 (eight months ago) link

I never really knew how many people used that - and it caused a few accidental posts when people didn’t realise their old post was still in there. I could do a proper drafts thing to solve both.

stet, Tuesday, 19 March 2024 09:17 (eight months ago) link

Ah right - that would be good, though I think a lot of the time I click out assuming it will be autosaved so would help a lot if it prompted you so save the unposted text as a draft at least. Like Twitter does I guess.

Alba, Tuesday, 19 March 2024 09:29 (eight months ago) link

the new quick reply box is awesome!!

bookmark button is on the right in individual post view but on the left in thread view. I don’t mind which side it’s on but it seems like it should be in the same corner w the same icon in both views.

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Tuesday, 19 March 2024 11:46 (eight months ago) link

It’s true, that individual view needs some more attention

stet, Tuesday, 19 March 2024 11:50 (eight months ago) link

i agree with Alba that some sort of drafts function would be great. otherwise, love this, thanks Stet!!
