Baconit Update 4.7 - The Editing Update

Today feels like a good day for an update. No?

Change Log:

Be sure to let me know what you think of the new editing experience in the comment. Enjoy!

Edit: I wanted to point something out (and do a post edit :P). The live markdown preview will update a little slower in this version, but it's actually a good thing because it's doing far less work which makes the app far more responsive while editing. I streamlined the process of updating the preview so now you can write huge posts and it wont bog down your keyboard input as you type. The update time also scales depending on your device, so for low end devices the update time is a little longer which they need because processing the markdown is a lot of work for them. You will also notice that on very low end devices it will wait until you pause typing to update, so your editing experience is as smooth as possible.

Commenting to test it out

Edit: Whoa, this looks so** neat**

I noticed when you select a word, and then press the B to bold it, it doesn't bold the last letter. Or when you press the button without selecting a word, it only selects "xample" and the last star.

Lol. I was adding a ton of test comments all over reddit while testing.

I can't seem to repo the bold problem, can you give me an example string where you're seeing the issue?

Yeah, it works fine on one line. But when I add a newline with two enters (or just with the button or 1 enter which doesn't make a difference) it seems to break. It happens with bold, italics and a link. On mobile, btw. If that might make a difference

Thanks! I love the accent color also; I was slightly worried that people wouldn't like it. :)

Oh, just noticed something. It seems that bold italics aren't formatted correctly in Baconit.

Is the "don't load post until tapped" feature not working correctly?

Yeah I saw that bug but I can't make it happen often. If you figure out some pattern that makes it happen more often let me know.

I'm getting some pretty significant performance hits with this update. Most inexplicably, hitting back to get out of a post and having the app hang there for quite a few seconds before finally doing it. I have enough time to wait patiently for a moment, get tired of waiting, do a The Office-style look into the camera and look back to my phone just in time to see the post list come back up.

Is this a problem many people are having? I'm on a 950XL.

Edit: Look at me, yippee!

Also entering posts, even ones where no content is loading, I can't scroll down to the comments for that same period of time. It's just unresponsive until suddenly I can scroll down.

Yeah. With the massive changes to the content controls in the last updates there are some perf issues I'm tracking down. I will try to look at them soon.

Almost as slow as Readit now on my 930. And speed was the #1 reason I switched...

Glad to hear you're already working on it. :)

I have a couple of requests:

  • Default sort for comments

  • Option to load into read mode by default instead of making me click the button.

  • bonus: option to use dark read mode (like edge) which is white text on black.

Original comment · Local permalink · Archive observation: 2016-02-03 14:00:47 UTC | Parent comment

Default sort for comments was added two updates ago, go look in settings for comments. :) I almost added the reading mode by default, but ran out of time. I will consider it. :)

Original comment · Local permalink · Archive observation: 2016-02-03 14:01:23 UTC | Parent comment

ah, thanks for the tip about the settings; I looked but I completely missed that section. Reading mode by default would be amazing since so many sites run a shit ton of scripts and nonsense that's unnecessary. It would also save a ton of data when not on WiFi.

The previous update made the app incredibly fast, and made me switch from readit completely. With this new update, baconit has become unusable for me: tens of seconds to load a text post. Please fix this or I'll have to switch back to readit again...

Thanks for the hard work!
