@cheeaun Do you want bug reports? I’ve noticed a couple of tiny things if you care to hear them. Nothing major.

@Brendanjones sure, bug reports are welcomed

@cheeaun Okay the bigger one I’m failing to replicate this morning and it needs a screen recording, but here’s a very little one that I’m not even sure is fixable:
Firefox iOS latest version
In catchup, when you press and hold on a profile pic in the author row, the image becomes a square, then expands and gives you the Firefox options for images (share/save etc). When you dismiss this pop-up, the image shrinks back down but stays as a square for a second before becoming round.

@cheeaun Whoops, attached the wrong recording. That one shows the image press-and-hold behaviour on Home. This one shows it in Catch-up, and also that the behaviour is different again when viewing a single post.

@cheeaun I’ll let you know if I replicate the other one, it was an issue with the icons in author row in Catchup staying greyed out even if you’ve reselected the author (ie their posts are showing).

@cheeaun This is not it, but after I select ‘reset filters’, shouldn’t all authors be showing? Some are still greyed out. I’m not sure if that’s a bug or expected behaviour - is something happening there that I’m not understanding?

@Brendanjones I'm seeing this too, some odd rendering happening there so will investigate. Thanks!

@cheeaun Another one for you, though it might be an issue with how Mastodon handles repeat boosts that you can’t do anything about:

Looks like boosts are repeated for every follow of yours who has boosted that post? Is there any way to remove the duplicates?

@Brendanjones Phanpy actually removes boost duplicates but not on Catch-up (yet?).

It might seem strange but I personally find this "useful" because one of Catch-up's goals is to give better high-level visibility and control over your timeline. I probably won't remove the them but could visually collapse/group them together

@cheeaun Hmm okay, that’s another piece of information that for me is good to know, but isn’t the primary piece of info. I’m finding out “of the posts my follows have boosted, which are the most boosted?” as opposed to “how many/which of my follows have boosted those most boosted posts”. But still good info to know.

Visually collapsing/grouping the duplicates would solve both use cases

@cheeaun In terms of behaviour, I don’t necessarily have a preference, but I guess I expect consistency across the app?

Regarding the visuals, it’d be nice if the square version of the profile image never showed (except when expanded, of course). It’s such a tiny thing, though, so I’d very much understand if you leave it.

@Brendanjones currently those gestures are not handled, so it fallbacks to whatever the browser choose to do when press-holding them

Despite the site looks very app-like, it's still a web site , so I need to juggle between expectations for an app-like experience and web-like experience.
