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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I'll see if I can localise it

Can you please change it back, tia

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

ok but still

whoa big moves. stet this is brilliant!

BAM! Nice! Love your work.

i just successfully downloaded an image straight from zing to my phone

whoa big moves. stet this is brilliant!

Thanks stet

Abandoned posts are no longer retained if you close the thread

Are the handy formatting tools gone ?

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

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

Cheers buddy

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

Wow this looks great!

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

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

Love the new icon too

And dynamic theme switching yesss

it looks so damn pro and crisp that i swear i feel like i’m on a new iphone and it’s weirding me out. ty stet

Yeah it's the best kind of update and refresh.

pretty bloody whizz bang stet a+

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

the new quick reply box is awesome!!

HI DERE!

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.

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

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

The bookmark is style old style ON IPAD but I might be the only one who uses that

*stilll

this is easily the least cool thing i have seen recently. i can't say i liked it but 1 million viewers disagree.
