I switched back to the best version of clover today. It feels good.
Why?
Because it keeps freezing when opening pictures, the beta was better than the current version, you floens cunt
>>51453602
Yes and I'm working on that issue (along with a bunch of other issues)
Reminder that 2.1.0 was also a beta
>>51453602
You're literally the only fag that has that problem
>>51453574
Because it still has no tabs.
In two thousand and fucking fifteen. All major browser have tabs since decades. If you browse 4chan on the desktop you make extensive use of tabs. Why is there no up-to-date 4chan app that has tabs? I don't get it.
I'm using leaf because it does, but it crashes if you switch orientation, has no catalog, sometimes loads the wrong images and you can't post on it. But it's still better than your piece of crap app.
>>51453699
Tabs are somewhere low on the todo list.
Clover has bookmarks to manage having multiple threads open.
>>51453699
What are you talking about?
>>51453633
>>51453633
>You're literally the only fag that has that problem
I'm also having the same problem too, try browsing a bit more you'll see. The last version didn't even have this issue at all.
>>51453630
thanks floens
>>51453902
Yes the freezing is real, but I've not encountered it myself. Should be fun to debug.
>>51453699
No, I'm not a shill. But dashchan has tabs
>>51453557
>best version
Kek
>>51453574
Sometimes the app just hangs and won't accept any input until it is force closed.
That and no tabs. Chain had by far the best functionality of any chan app and it even supported 420chan, but alas it is long gone.
>>51453718
I'm having a strange issue, clover dev. I don't know if this has been fixed. It's a little hard to reproduce. This is what it is:
>Open clover
>Open any thread (lets call this thread #1)
>Go to your recents and pick any other app
>Clover might refresh
>Open any other thread (call this thread #2)
>Close thread
>Go to other thread (thread #3)
Everything is well, Clover is working normally, now this is the weird part
>Press back button on thread, and back butotn on clover to close the app
>Clover won't close, in fact it ends up opening again. However,it'll be back on thread #2
>try to close clover again with back button
>Again, it reopens, this time showing thread #1
>try to close clover
>it closes normally
What could this be? It's a little hard to reproduce, and I don't know if this weird thing going on can cause memory leaks.
I wish Hiroshima would arbitrarily fuck with HTML every couple weeks just to break all these shitty apps and keep the dumb phone mouthbreathers and their threads off.
>>51454056

Hey Cover dev, legitimate request here.
Currently the notification icon has an exclamation point beside it when somebody replies to a thread you're watching. Is there a way to make that exclamation point only appear if someone has replied to you?
What's the latest version of clover? I'm using 1.2.11 and I've had no issues with it
>>51454321
>Is there a way to make that exclamation point only appear if someone has replied to you?
I would like that too, but two different symbols would be even better.
>>51453574
First of all, thanks for your continous effort with clover, I really like the material design version. Running lolipop I haven't encountered any bugs yet at all.
Two questions for you:
1. Will displaying refreshtime in the bookmarks make a comeback? I'm always anxious it's not refreshing properly if I can't check it.
2. Any plans to reimplement the last-thread drawer? I often flicked back to the last thread while browsing the catalog.
Thanks!
>>51453999
Yes I know, I said above that I'm aware of the issue.
>>51454024
Could be the problem with android when pressing the "open" button on the "app installed" window. Try keep pressing back until clover is fully closed, and it should fix the issue.
>>51454497
The lastest version on the play store is 1.2.11. The latest (broken) beta is 2.1.0.
>>51454549
The exclamation point was quickly added, a setting is on the todo list.
>>51454549
>Will displaying refreshtime in the bookmarks make a comeback? I'm always anxious it's not refreshing properly if I can't check it.
Maybe. I removed it so avoid constant ui invalidations but that was after all not that bad for the performance.
>Any plans to reimplement the last-thread drawer? I often flicked back to the last thread while browsing the catalog.
The original two pane layout is completely deprecated by Google, and it doesn't fit in the material guidelines. It's almost certainly not coming back.
>>51454605
Thanks for answering. I appreciate it.
Clover dev, did you add /aco/ to the board list?
I can't find it
>>51454712
You can add that one in settings. It's not on the list because Google store mature ratings.
>>51454649
No problem
>>51454712
Yes it gets automatically added if it were a worksafe board. You need to manually add it in the board editor.
Floens, please, release the fix for the app freezing when posting/viewing pics. This shit is driving me mad, you can work at other bugs, but please post the fix.
>>51454820
I'm working on it. It's a beta, use the stable if you don't like it.
So clover dev, what made you create Clover ad how much are you going to maintain it?
>>51454883
What Clover exists for like 2 years now.
>>51454891
I mean: do you think that you will get bored working on it or find it useless to do it anymore?
>>51454924
Even if he does, that's why it's open source.
Dashchan, overchan and others have been clover forks
>>51454924
It's a fun project, even when there's people shitting all over it. I'll probably maintain it for the coming while. Sometimes I don't work on Clover for months.
>>51454940
>Dashchan, overchan and others have been clover forks
Not true afaik. And every fork needs to be GPL if it were.
>>51454965
Do you put it on your portfolio/resume?
Considering that bover a hundred thousand people have downloaded your app from the play store alone
>>51454999
It's on there. I'm still in school so my resume hasn't been used really.
350,000 downloads btw ;)
>>51454965
Thanks to you I can finally stay awake through 8pm lectures.
Also, have you considered adding 'remove from watcher' option when you long press a thread in the drawer? It's kinda slow to have to open each thread and unwatch it to remove it from the list.
Additionally, why not extend the captcha window so you can see all the pics without having to scroll?
>>51455044
>not 1 mil
Any app below this belongs in trash, you pleb
>>51455080
You can just tap the blue number right next to the tread in the list to unwatch them.
>>51455080
>Also, have you considered adding 'remove from watcher' option when you long press a thread in the drawer? It's kinda slow to have to open each thread and unwatch it to remove it from the list.
You can swipe pins away.
>Additionally, why not extend the captcha window so you can see all the pics without having to scroll?
It was kinda hard to do in the code. The other easier captcha is now the default so it's not high priority.
>>51453557
Floens, current version is amazing for features but can you revert to the old catalog? The new one with the borders seems like wasted space, the images and text are much more visible in OPs pic as opposed to this one.
That's literally my only complaint/suggestion, everything else is on point. Keep up the good work!
>>51453574
Everything I try to remove dead pinned threads clover crashes.
Why
>>51455116
The new catalog is more in style with the material design guidelines. There was an issue where the cards had too much padding though.
>>51455189
Send the report to me and I'll check the stacktrace.
Captcha fixing when? I can't even post.
>>51455227
What app version, android version etcetc
>>51455219
4.4.2, stock ASUS Memo Pad 8. Any reason "x replies" would be coming up like this, on two separate lines?
android version: 4.0.4
app version : v1.2.11
>>51455271
That was a rounding bug, fixed in my build.
>>51455098
>>51455102
Oh, that's good to know.
>>51455219
Hi dev, need to understand 2 issues here.
1) Even if I check "save original filename", it does not. File is saved in default folder, any fix?
2) I just can't seem to watch 60fps webms. I'm using moto G2 5.0.2 aosp and material beta clover. Again, anything to fix it or is it a phone problem.
>>51455308
Cool, thanks. Eagerly awaiting the update.
>>51455344
>Even if I check "save original filename", it does not. File is saved in default folder, any fix?
This option means that images are saved with the filename the user posted with, instead of the numbered timestamp. It does not change the folder it gets saved in.
Album downloads use the timestamp to avoid downloading duplicates. Some other anon complained about it and I'll probably add an option for that.
>I just can't seem to watch 60fps webms. I'm using moto G2 5.0.2 aosp and material beta clover. Again, anything to fix it or is it a phone problem.
That might be an Android issue with the VideoView. Try opening the video in your browser (menu > open in browser).
>>51454794
>>51454784
I'm dumb, thanks
What is the advantage of using Clover instead of just a normal browser for 4chan?
>>51455507
4chan mobile is shit
>>51455361
>60fps
Done, it's phone. Thank you.
>filename
I mean, I download something called topkek.gif or w/e with save original filename active, and in my folder it says 1736722727272.gif
Now speaking of downloading albums, it duplicates. Should I suck it up with timestamp ny loosing original name but avoiding duplicates?
>>51455641
The original filename is the timestamp.
>>51454056
It doesn't parse the html you fucking ignorant fuck. You have no ground to call others mouthbreathers if you can't even wrap your motherfucking head around the idea of JSON.
hey floens your shitty app freezes everytime i send a reply please fix ok ty
>>51455219
Too lazy to send shiiiiit..... Sorry dev-sempai
>Pic related is what I'm using
>>51456103
Here's the version
On Android tablet
>>51453574
I give your app a 5/5.
By far the best 4chan browsing app I've tried.
Why in the fuck does Clover never load pics or gifs on my LGG4 on wifi?
>>51456002
I was gonna ask Floens directly but since you seem to at least know the API I'll ask you too.
How is post creation handled? The API is read only and I can't find anything on Google
>>51456286
You open the captcha iframe in the app and get a verification code, and then make a POST request to the site containing the captcha code and the user's post
>>51456286
It's done by emulating the browser <form>

lol for me it's just xkcd (literally, exclusively xkcd) pics.

I feel you bro

>>51456538
Why would you waste all that vertical space for attachments?

Clover a good
Thanks for helping me jerk it in bed
>>51456538
When's the inline WebM viewer?
>The original two pane layout is completely deprecated by Google, and it doesn't fit in the material guidelines. It's almost certainly not coming back.
You reimplemented swiping out of the thread, so wouldn't it be reasonable to be able to swipe back in? No need for some visible drawer or whathaveyou.
>>51453602
ya mine freezes pretty often after the latest update.
>>51456680
Accidentally removed quote number.
>>51454605
>>51453699
>"In two thousand and fucking fifteen"
John Oliver, is that you?
For saving images without unix time
If there is already a file with the same name can you make a check with file dimension in bytes or hash and if they don't match rename the new file?
Thanks
Thanks based clover dev
>>51457024
Wow that's a good solution, the api gives md5 hashes for posts with images.
Can I switch back to image captcha?
Hey Floens, quick question: with the latest update, I noticed that the you can finally swipe to go back to the catalog/list but webms fuck up if I try to close them y by tapping. Typically by not closing at all. Best 4chan app regardless
>>51453574
Floens, why did v2 do away with the swipe from the left to keep browsing the catalog?
>>51455080
>>51455098
Dragging the thread to the right also unwatches it.
>>51455116
Your phone resolution is shit. It's fine on good phones.
>>51453630
Where can i get the beta from?
>>51458396
https://github.com/Floens/Clover/tree/dev/releases
>>51457263
Yes, go to settings
>>51455507
>>51455511
I use 4chan website on Chrome since chrome compresses it. I'm a data cap kek, so I need to watch my data.
Works on wifi again for me. For a while i had to use data...
>>51453724
how did you hide the reply button?
how do you hide the big ass reply button?

Thank you for doing what you do.
is there any way to see spoiled images?
>>51459603
You tap again on the fucking spoiler image.
>>51459670
thanks senpai :^)
>>51459523
but how do you hide it though?
>>51457296
Webms now don't close at all when tapping, because they now have controls.
>>51459978

>>51453574
Ehh mr. clover guy dude
Im a fukkin n00b at all this technology stuff but whats the best way to make a bug report?
Have you also looked at chain (a VERY outdated android 4cha browser,but the tab system was FUCKING GOAT,I still have it installed even tho its broken af)
Also;
Nederlands?
Everything is perfect in my 1.2.11 except I am afraid to load webms as they crash my phone. Gifs work fine but 4 out of 5 times a webm will force me to do a hard reset.
>>51456229
Mimi was better but then the developer nuked it into oblivion to redesign it from scratch in a new vision (aka to turn it from something unique into a carbon copy of every other app but worse)
Now mimi is the fucking worst. Clover is a decent compromise. I hope he doesn't do the same fucking shit and destroy his own app for no fucking reason.
>>51460108
Gewoon een issue maken op de github of me een email sturen.
Ja ik ken chain, als je wat omhoog scrollt vertel ik waarom clover (nog) geen tabs heeft.
>>51460112
That's an issue with your device not Clover, see https://github.com/Floens/Clover/issues/2
>>51453557
There's some broken new version? I haven't noticed any changes. Is the update out on the play store?
>>51460149
Oh thanks.
Great app btw. Best phone time killer by a long shot.
>>51457660
wtf. This is horrible. Why did someone think having less information density and smaller thumbnails was a good thing? Fuck everything. Every 4chan app I have ever liked does this shit.
