Redditor

[onedr0p]

Here is an app I've been working on for dezro (Antisocializer). He said he wouldn't have much time to finish his app, so I made a few changes to it. It allows you to view reddit, subreddits, and different sections of each.

0.8.1
- Defaults to 25 stories / page
- Self posts open in same card (thanks abroder)

Upcoming
- Keyboard Shortcuts:
-- Space - Page Down
-- Shift - Page Up
-- Period - Line Down
-- Comma - Line Up
-- Enter - Bottom Page
- Set option to view thumbnails on the main scene in preferences
- Copy Paragraph with shift + tap
- Progress indicator for loading comments

Project is posted on github:
My branch: onedr0p's Redditor at master - GitHub
Master branch: dezro's Reddit-Antisocializer-for-WebOS at master - GitHub

Thanks for the app. Love it. Here are some unsolicited demands for further features:

Gripes:
-----
Redditor
- multiple cards, ie, when I get the drop down menu for comments/mms/save/etc, a click on comments should open the comments in a new card. This way I can open several stories in the bkgnd & then read them one by one.
- Copy paragraph (shift +click should select paragraph like the browser)
- Gaps in vertical lines for comments at same level, but you be the judge, cuz it might become ugly looking
- Keyboard shortcuts , like the multi-mod (or is it multi-mix?): spacebar for pgdn, dot for pgup, enter for page bottom, backspace for pagetop, and sym for one line down scroll
- a transparent very thin scroll bar at the right that indicates the length of the page (the webos browser does not implement this, but the iphone, android, etc. browsers implement it).
- 25 stories only displayed since that is the reddit default
- clicking on story link from story card should also launch link
-----
Raves:
- UI interface design is outstanding
- quotes green brackets, the vertical lines indicating comment level, etc.

Thanks!!

I was wondering what happened to this app! Thanks for continuing work on it and thaks for changing the name =P.

I am having trouble loading comments though. It just loads a light blue screen.

Ah yes, one more request, a progress bar as content is being downloaded. (BTW, hawt, just wait a bit, the comments eventually load. Maybe you are in a 1x zone?)

Thanks for the comments! I will have time tonight and tomorrow to get some of the road map laid out for the app.

@veerar
Awesome suggestions, I'll work on them first and have an update soon enough.

Comments are the only hard part I've encountered in this app. They should load eventually, I will put a spinner indicating that is it loading.

Great app

Great and wonderful app , yes, but has not been updated in over a month

But I still use it all the time!

Just saw the 0.8.1 update, downloaded and tested it. Thanks!

I have been seeing a weird bug that I cannot reproduce consistently. If I load a long thread with multiple level comments (say a thread with 250 comments), then occasionally I see a comment end with the phrase "AND MORE". Can you see it on your side?

Anyway, thanks again for updating this app!

I like the interface of this app, but I don't seem to be able to vote comments up or down. Is development for this app stalled or is this something I can look forward to?

[un_designer]
