@ivory I wish you guys had an Android version. I am Android user only. And a Linux Mint user too.

@ivory Way improved look especially for wordy options. Thanks!

@ivory Odd bug on the poll - I voted but it says only 1 vote, and not for what I voted for.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@xeyr It can be a bit delayed to update sometimes. Try going to the timeline and back to the post detail to see if it updates again.

cassian

@ivory A few minutes later and there are many more votes … but now I can't tell if I'm one of them 🧐

(seems fine)

John M. Wright

@ivory looks like there’s a bug in the polls logic to calculate the bars. Note in this screenshot that *I* voted for the third option, but it shows 100% (of 2 votes) on the second option. Should be at least some percentage on the option I voted for.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@wrightfully Might just be some sort of server lag. But we are keeping an eye on it. Going back to the timeline and then to post detail again should refresh the data.

sayrer

@ivory the app is really nice, I just want syncing (for whatever is synced, maybe just @ mentions) between macOS and iOS, by far the biggest paper cut

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@sayrer We know there have been some issues with the mentions and notifications tabs syncing between mac and iOS. We plan to dig deeper into that issue next.

Craig Siemens

@ivory Missed opportunity to use a multiple choice poll 😆.

So far looks good!

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@craigsiemens It was intentional. Did think about it for a moment. 😁

@ivory “New option in Settings to turn off haptics feedback”, yes thank you.

Rick :swift: 6x💉😷🇺🇦

@ivory I’m still hoping for filtering tools to reduce seeing duplicate posts. Eg if I’ve seen a post, and someone I follow boosts it, or worst of all if I boost it, I see it again (and again).

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@JetForMe That should not be an issue anymore. Are you running the latest version?

Rick :swift: 6x💉😷🇺🇦

@ivory 1.8.1 (from TestFlight) but I think it just updated today. I’ll let you know if I still see dupes.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@JetForMe If you are boosting from another timeline, it's going to appear at the top of your home timeline no matter what. My original response was because I was under the impression you were boosting a post and it was appearing again at the top of the same timeline.

Rick :swift: 6x💉😷🇺🇦

@ivory yes it’s my timeline. I’m not sure how to boost from another timeline.

In any case, that’s the feature I want: to not see the same post twice.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@JetForMe That's the confusing part. We've tested this hundreds of times and when you boost a post in your timeline, it doesn't appear on top for us. The post you boosted just gets a badge. Feel free to send us a recording of what you see.

Rick :swift: 6x💉😷🇺🇦

@ivory I’ve emailed a video demonstrating what I see to your support.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@JetForMe alright check these 2 things. Make sure “hide duplicate boosts” is on in your ivory account settings. And then check your mastodon website settings to make sure this setting is on.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@JetForMe so we are thinking it might just be the way your particular instance is working. When you boost a post lower on your timeline on the website, is the behavior the same? What about if you do it from the official mastodon app?

Rick :swift: 6x💉😷🇺🇦

@ivory As far as I can tell, no, my instance is not showing posts I boost (via the web UI) again in my timeline. I boosted a post, then refreshed the page to see if it would appear; it did not. It's a stock v4.2.3 install from source (not Docker).

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@JetForMe next time you experience this with a post, check that post to see if it’s coming from a non-mastodon instance. Feel free to send us a link to that post as well. The only thing we can think of at this point is you happen to be boosting a post from a non-mastodon instance and sometimes they do things a bit differently.

Rick :swift: 6x💉😷🇺🇦

@ivory it’s 100% of the posts I boost, pretty sure they’re all mastodon instances, but I’ll check.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@JetForMe ok. At this point it seems like you are the only user we are aware of with this issue. It’s definitely not ivory. But still no idea what is causing it.

Rick :swift: 6x💉😷🇺🇦

@ivory okay this is weird. I’ve just boosted two posts that are behaving correctly. The only thing that’s different is the original posts were very recent in my timeline (less than five or six from present).

Pierre

@ivory I love release notes.

Thanks for all your hard work. Very much appreciated

CM Harrington

@ivory Huzzah! I can see the actual text of polls now!!

Matthew Janssen :mastodon:

@ivory please allow me to put the ‘Browse…’ section back above the ‘Popular & Trending…’ section on the Explore tab. Please and thank you!

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@mttjj We have other plans for those sections. Just be patient with us. 🙂

David Johnson :prami:

@ivory A request (already!) - an option to greyscale the avatars when in "Mono" mode.

Mike

@ivory this is huge! Great work. Next up: Remote local timelines and quote post views! 😅

Chancerubbage

@ivory

Why do these updates never seem to automatically show up in the list of updates in the App Store?

Is it something to do with the timing of when my phone checks on updates, and your announcements being out of sync?

Or is it some weird thing about apps with subscriptions that you have to seek out the update on your own?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@Chancerubbage We always set updates to roll out slowly over a week. That way if there's a huge bug we don't want everyone to get, we can stop the release, fix it, and then release again. But users who follow us probably want to get updates ASAP so we like to announce them here if you want to download right away. 🙂

Chancerubbage

@ivory okay, so it’s a rolling roll out thing. That makes sense.

And if I missed this announcement, it would show up in the automatically loaded update queue in a few days anyway.

Thanks.

St. Chris

@ivory Well, heck, I forgot to take a screenshot for comparison.

Brad Weitz

@ivory Thanks for a great app and improvements.

Not sure if this is where you want suggestions but I would love the option to force confirmation on opening a link. My fingers are constantly hitting the links unintentionally when scrolling taking me out of the app.

Kevin Herrera

@ivory Wow, the poll changes are a huge improvement!

Manfred :verified_breze:

@ivory nice 👍🤩

When can we finally expect the quote feature?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@Breznsoiza we are getting close to the end of our public roadmap so sooner than later? 🙂

Ryan

@ivory looks great and I love the pace of updates rolling out lately

Theodore 🌳 🌲

@ivory amazing as always. Literally one of the best designed iOS apps out there. Keep it up!

D

@ivory For some reason I thought the Vote button would be on the right. They look super snazzy!

DELETED

@ivory Thank you. The ability to compose and post a thread, similar to how the Toot! app allows, would be really nice.

maxfenton

@ivory Feature request: some kind of setting to control the default post visibility for an account. Some way to set a default to "Followers Only"

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@maxfenton you set that on your instance website settings and it will be reflected in Ivory. Might take half a day for ivory to check that setting though. If you want it to update right away, just go to your account settings within ivory and hit the “clear account cache” button.

Alex MacK

@ivory love the new features @mark. Visually the new polls take some getting used to. They feel like a screenshot, not something I can interact with natively.

Wu Evar 🇺🇦

@ivory Yes! Support for multiple choice polls! Thank you! 🥳

Audiodump

@ivory KINDOF like it, why is the a little unnecessary circle in front of the options?

Very nice that you can see the results without having to tap first!

Markmaster

@ivory The only thing that frustrates me about the app is the themes. Previously, the Twitter app had really cool themes, and they were a pleasure to use. Now I'm not satisfied with the fact that I can't choose one accent for the daytime theme and another for the nighttime theme, because almost any combination of day and night is uncomfortable to read.
I use the basic setting for OLED screens on the iPhone 15 Pro.

Anthony Bosio

@ivory I love the visual fix so we can read poll option text with more than 4 short words visible, but wish I could still vote in 1 click.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@abosio you are definitely in the minority. We received constant complaints about the single tap to vote. It worked better on Twitter, but there’s more options here. 🙂

Anthony Bosio

@ivory What are the complaints? The only thing I can imagine could be accidental clicks.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@abosio that’s the biggest complaint. That and multiple choice polls don’t work with that system.

Gik :prami:

@ivory thank you for bringing back Browse -> Trending. I like both methods, but missed browse between these updates.

Marc Etienne

@ivory looks a lot better on the iPhone 13 mini. Will look on the iPadOS and the macOS versions later today. Thanks!

Bernd Kilga

@ivory macOS Version: IMO the black lines through the text isn't ideal to read. Also, the monk in me screams at the squished border-radius at the 3% example.

As for polling itself, love it. The word-wrap was really important.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@console That's a slightly unfortunate result of using the high contrast theme. We have a very limited and specific set of color variables to power the whole app and this is one of the edge cases. Can see if we can improve that slightly, but adjusting colors in one area affects them everywhere else in the app.

Bernd Kilga

@ivory hm, that’s strange. I wasn't aware I had the high contrast theme enabled. I never need to do that in any app. I must have mis-clicked at some point. My apologies.

Just turned it off, wow: Everything is so much nicer to look at. Also the polls are easier to read! I think the high contrast doesn't help in this case.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@console Yea we will have to see if we can make slight adjustments to the high contrast colors, but as I mentioned it's tough because changing a color affects the same color everywhere in the app. 🙂

DELETED

@ivory Download of videos is a reason I still use toot! instead of Ivory. Is there anything planned?

Stephen Coles

@ivory Is there a way to reveal counts (rather than percentages), perhaps on tap? Or is that not supported by Mastodon?
