Hi there, in the upcoming kbin releases, I will be describing the changes along with author tags, but for now, you can check out what’s happening here: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/activity, as well as my personal feed: https://ernest.dev
Today, two test instances will be created where we will be looking for bugs for some time, and then the changes will be rolled out to kbin.social and hopefully other instances as well :)
I want to accept as many pull requests as possible, currently, there are still 50 open ones. I’m also following your posts and adding new things to the to-do list.
Have a nice day!
Nice!
The PWA rotation issue is really annoying, happy to see this will be fixed. :)
Which issue? Don’t see it in the links and I’m not seeing anything I can think of that sounds like that (I’m using the PWA on Android, but using Firefox so maybe that’s why)
Firefox doesn’t have this problem,only chromium browsers.
Definitely a big annoyance point for me!
Is this about the PWA rotating when auto rotation is set to off? Sounds like a bug on the device, as it’s not happening to me.
That might be android only, I’m not sure. I remember seeing a pull request about it having to do with something in the PWA manifest.
Looks like that’s been fixed actually (if your instance is up to date enough, that was merged in 5 hours ago). I had to reinstall the PWA for it to take effect.
How do I install the PWA?
In your browser, if you go into the menu there should be something like ‘Install’, ‘Add to Homescreen’, something like that.
On chrome it is add to homescreen, but there is also a pop-up at the bottom that gives an install button. The browser menu should be the easiest spot though.
It creates a shortcut on your homescreen and allows the site to run in full screen mode, so it acts like a native app.
Oh I’ve been looking for an option on the site, not the browser. Thank you!
Just uninstalled and reinstalled /kbin on my Realme X3 - it still rotates irrespective of Android setting. Guess I’ll have to lay on my back a bit longer hehe.
Bummer. Yeah, I think kbin.social hasn’t gotten those changes added in yet. I’ve just been pulling the new updates once/twice a day onto my instance. It has broken things a couple times though so I get why the larger instances are waiting for actual ‘releases’ of kbin.
