Soon I will try to craft a post about whom exactly we owe these changes to. Today there's already too much excitement for one evening ;)
spoiler: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/activity
For the next few hours, the website may be slow. We are working on a fix.
Sweet, looking forward to it!
Nice, I'm the second person after Ernest on this activity chart, since June 28.
This code is just a small fraction of what you generally do, man ;)
Great work guys, really happy with how many tweaks, bug fixes and be additions we got in. Super super keen to get the click to toggle comment functionally in (love it on mobile) along with some of the new bigger pieces
lol I got super confused cos I could've SWORN your PR that you're working on atm about user profiles was merged already, but after the update the 2nd display name is still there....so I was like, did anything change? when did the commits go up to? and then I realized this PR isn't merged yet and heavily 🤦♀️
Hopefully soon! Adjusted styles on it so it doesn't overflow now which is great, waiting on it to get reviewed. Be good to get rid of all these extra parts of the system that aren't really helpful.
Thanks for the updates Ernest, just fyi I had to delete the pwa I had for kbin and reinstall it to get the updates. Maybe have to adjust something in your manifest to auto update? I'll take a look at code later. Really happy so far tho, the screen lock is a life saver!!
The manifest is a pain. Apparently even updating the theme_color should be enough to force chrome to download a new version and update the local client, but that can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or so 😰
I've found deleting it and reinstalling thankfully works and now shows the fancy icon on Android
Things I'm particularly proud of include the new language filtering setting, the lnf changes (compact mode on a tablet feels niiice) and the markdown improvements - hopefully everyones community links will work now!
Another pull request means another hour with a strong cup of coffee ;)
New tokyo night theme is slick
Yeah! Really really nice
Am I the only one having the whole kbin.social site in polish?
You're not haha - I have no idea what I'm doing here. Doesn't get more bleeding edges than everything suddenly changing to polish.
ktoś pomoże, moje komentarze zmieniły się na polskie
if you go to the bottom of the page you can change it to different language. mine was in polish too
Thank you! There it was - that's surely not the most optimal placement of that setting. I was looking at my profile, and settings to no avail.
Cheers /u/ozen
I love seeing Kbin getting better and cozier day by day, I'm in awe! thank you to everyone who's been working on it, you are all appreciated :')
Seems the search button at the top left of the screen still takes me to the "technical works in progress" page.
does the same for me, same thing happens when I search magazines too.
I previously had a problem on mobile that, even if I set my default homepage to Subscribed, it would still revert back to All. That seems to be fixed now too.
Increasing the size of the text in the settings no longer causes posts to leak off into inaccessible areas of the page in the iOS web app. As an iPhone Mini user, I particularly appreciate this change. I can finally increase the text size to a more comfortable reading level.
Tokyo Night is awesome on dark reader mode. Nice work devs. 😀👍
I'm on Firefox mobile (Android) and the ui is now in Polish? How do I change it back to English
Edit: nwm I found how to change it, at the very bottom of any page
I absolutely love the new Tokyo Night theme.
Also, good on Ernest for getting ahead of the legal curve! #IWasHereWhenItWasStillAStormtrooper
Hitting the kbin logo takes you back to your feed, instead of having to click it and then go over and click the Home button. That's a huge plus, IMO.
Hm... My avatar photo is gone, and showing as a broken image. I tried to upload it gain, but it doesn't seem to have taken.
A lot of avatar photos are broken for me, same with a lot of the thumbnails and magazine icons. Something weird must be going on
I can see your avi from my side, might just be some backend weirdness.
Magazine stats are now localized (yay!!!)
Someone please explain this one, haven't been on here very long
It's something that you wouldn't have seen unless you created a magazine (or community). In the magazine settings, there's a tab to view statistics like the number of posts, comments, and votes made per day. Before the update, all of the graphs were in Polish, so they were impossible to interpret without google translate. But now, they're properly translated into the language that you use
Cheers mate
I'm happy that clicking on the Kbin logo on mobile brings you back to the home page (as opposed to opening the hamburger menu).
Android rotation lock bug resolved, nice, very nice. Great work to all involved.
This new theme is amazing, thank you!
Looks like the kbin PWA on my phone is now following my default setting for homepage of subscribed instead of all when opening it. I like this change.
Still overrides my locked rotation, though. Oh well 😅
Really looking forward to seeing what all's changed and I d'awww-ed at my little new icon. I was kinda thinking the work would last for several more hours, so I'm very happy to see it back already
Edit: Important update for anyone on mobile, the kbin logo now takes me to Home! The hamburger menu has an acceptable hitbox again!
The rotation thing was fixed but typically phones only update the PWA manifests every now and then. Quick and easy win would be to reinstall it. That'll force a fetch.
The kbin logo not linking directly to home was probably one of my top UI gripes. I'm glad to see it get changed. Still hoping there will be an easier way to bring up the list of subscribed magazines.
I had to re-install my PWA, but it now adheres to the rotation setting on my phone. I'm using a Samsung Android phone so it may depend on the OS.
I think html now may work in our profiles. I have a referral link to my mastodon account in my profile and it's always just shown up as the text, now after the update the code actually is recognize and showing up as a link (albeit, broken lol).
Edit: Fixed, def works at least for embedding a link.
Edit 2: Full on html, got a marquee tag working too lol
Not able to see the changes in my pwa. I'm guessing the update hasn't quite propagated everywhere yet?
I was pleasantly surprised to see the new updates (and that the old userscripts that add stuff like collapsing comments still worked), I immediately started searching for patch notes or sth but couldn't find any, so thanks for this thread 😁
Thought I was on a different site entirely! Really love the changes, came through well on my mobile pwa.
