Hey all,

Today I’ve been working on implementing the inbox. This is still a work in progress, and I have been primarily focused on logic over UI today for this, so I know there’s some issues with it right now. Here is what I know is meh:

  • Only replies are operational right now. You cannot view messages or mentions yet
  • Some comment chains don’t show up when you press on the comment. I’ll work on this tomorrow
  • You are not automatically scrolled to the comment. I’ll work on this tomorrow
  • UI is not optimal. Like I said, this is still a work in progress
  • Some other issues

Also, these fixes are included:

  • Replying to a Kbin message should no longer cause a crash
  • Memory leak that resulted from getting into deeply nested views is fixed
  • Other crashes are fixed

In addition to:

  • A makeshift “fix” in search. If you enter something@something.com, you’ll be presented with the option to either go to that community or go to that user. I’ll make this more friendly in the future.

I also know about one crash that is happening right now as a result of pressing some external links (deep links from what it looks like, i.e. links that should take you to another app). I’ll look into this.

Like I said, this is still a work in progress and I’ll make a lot of changes tomorrow. For now though, you can at least see what’s going on in your inbox. Your “badge” count of replies will refresh every minute, so you can just pull-to-refresh on the inbox screen.

Thanks for all the feedback and support so far.

Happy scrolling!

    Just wanted to say thanks for all the work you guys have put in, every morning I wake up and see a TestFlight notification that the app has been updated, never seen that before with any app I’ve tested

    Thanks for your work and don’t push yourself too far. I‘d prefer a good and carefully written app in a few months over an unstable und hasty written on in a few weeks.

      For sure. Inbox is pretty much the last feature to implement before I go through and do a big overhaul. Getting all of the functions in place ahead of time gives me a good idea of how things need to come together so I can go back through and make things as elegant as possible.
