Remember position #89

Open papjul opened 7 years ago

papjul commented 7 years ago

A feature I miss from Twidere is the ability to remember position in a tab. When you refresh the tab, you have to go through all new toots to get back to where you stopped reading. Users should be able to choose if they want to stay in position and have new toots appearing just above. Thanks,

With https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/pull/3000 merged and https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/releases/tag/v21.0 released can this issue here be closed?

The reading order preference has solved the issue completely for me so I would say so!

guntbert commented 1 year ago

Yes, thanks a lot. This is solved for me as well. I'd only suggest to change the wording to "oldest unread first". I first thought it would change the order of display to having the oldest posts at the top.

I agree the wording for this new option is a bit confusing, since it doesn't affect the order in which the TL posts are displayed.

I think a better wording would be "reading direction" (instead of "reading order") and then "from bottom to top" and "from top to bottom".

Other than that, I too am very happy with this new feature. :)

no! since scroll position gets lost when restarting the app. new toots are fetched and timeline jumps to top.

witch is ridiculous. i actually never understood why this is...

instead of fetching new toots and jumping to the top, when reopening, nothing should be fetched at all, and just be shown what was shown last. ONLY THEN I can decide to just continue reading by scrolling up or tap the home button in order to fetch new stuff and jump to top. that's pretty basic and what i would think is a intuitive behavior. twidere did that right since ever. why is this so weird in tusky? meh basic rule: don't assume too much of what users want: let THEM decide. (yes, i'm totally not in the apple-camp here xD)

@ichier I definitely ask you to tone down. I don't expect to see words like "ridiculous" or "pretty basic" when talking to people who spend their time on providing us with something we can use.

ichier commented 1 year ago

@guntbert okay, critique taken. sorry! quick thought about tone: it's just some opinion, right? anyone can see that, so it shouldn't hurt anyone, since its not a fact. wouldn't hurt me, since it clearly is some wondering, isn't it? also: if i did phrase it other than I actually feel about it, like pseudo neutral, it would hurt the same or even more, wouldn't it? since it now is clear opinion, no one needs to argue about it: its just opinion. if I came along with some reasoning, it could end up in endless discussions of opposing groups thinking their opinion are facts. so why don't just take my feelings as they are and focus on what i actually had to say instead? ;) PS: basic was meant in terms of pretty easy to do
