Yes, I fucking hate this feature layout. They could also move submit all the way to the left. There no reason to have the buttons overlap. If the comments go long enough you reach a point where you can't continue.

Fuck that arrow. Many an awesome post I have written only to have it lost because I hit the up arrow instead. 😂. Get rid of it

Most annoying feature of this side aside from the crying libtards 😂

No! The submit button stays as far right as it can go! We don't move to the center or the left for anything! Ok maybe center right.

I like the arrow, the submit button just need to be moved so it's not underneath it. Seems pretty simple and obvious to not have 2 buttons overlap.

You can turn the arrow off.

Many apps are worse than their affiliated websites, and have far fewer features.
Apps can also be less secure due to enforced permissions.

"many apps are worse than their affiliated websites"

Ok, so they could make that not the case here, pretty sure that was the point. Mobile web browsing sucks shit.

Exactly. I won't use an app unless it's open source.

I won't download. That's silly.

Html is plenty powerful. Sites like reddit intentionally break their site to force you to download an app and give them access to your device.

Why are you automatically under the assumption that the mods here would make an app that gives access to your device? The argument "other apps sometimes suck, therefore this website isn't allowed to have an app" is a pretty shitty one.

Interesting interpretation of my statement.

Do you have some reason to create an app? What can that do that the website cannot?

And do you really think the app stores will allow the app? Lol.

And do you really think the app stores will allow the app? Lol.

Exactly. Some platforms make it difficult or impossible (at least for the non-tech-savvy) to install apps sourced from outside the official app store.

And if the app stores DO allow the app, even if it requires no permissions, installing it on your device permanently connects your political affiliation to your device account. Uninstalling the app won't delete that record. Given the current political climate, many may not be comfortable with that.

I mean, it isn't an interpretation. You literally said "Sites like reddit intentionally break their site to force you to download an app and give them access to your device.", Implying that a TD app would do the same.

It can do plenty of things better. Formatting the top/bottom arrows, bigger buttons on mobile for saving/hiding posts. Have you ever tried turning your phone sideways to watch a video posted here? Every time I do, it loses my place on the page and I have to spend time scrolling around to find it. Can HTML do these things? Sure. Can an app do them as well, arguably easier? Yes. The fact is- if HTML can do it so well, why isn't it already done? An app could also potentially reach a wider audience, and spreading the truth as far as possible is extremely important during these times, is it not?

You don't have to download, whatever, but if there's a demand for it, why not try to meet it?

Chick-fill-eh 1 point ago +2 / -1

No... Sites like reddit break their site. There would be zero reason to have an app if they didn't intentionally break the site.

Seems to me like it would be better to invest time in a single platform, than to develop multiple platforms that will likely just be banned from their respective app stores.

TheLittleLebowski 1 point ago +1 / -0

? I never disagreed with your reddit statement. I don't know why that keeps getting brought up.

Saying the time is better invested in one platform is the same as saying that about a video game, it hardly applies. An app is much more of a port, not a completely separate entity. You're coming at this from an angle that there's nothing to gain from having an app, and I'm saying there potentially is. Two years ago, I'm sure the exact same arguments were said about having a standalone TD site instead of just a subreddit.

Chick-fill-eh 1 point ago +2 / -1

A different platform gets you away from being subjected to that old platform's rules. That seems like a smart thing to do. By creating an app, you are now subject to that OS's rules... For what benefit? Your videos rotate better?

Unless you are talking about side loading an SDK, which kills the normie appeal.

The apps that work significantly better than the mobile site aren't because apps are better. It is because they broke their mobile site intentionally.

Yo on mobile you can add it to your home screen as a web app. It’s what I do and it’s about 90% as good as a well designed app.

The trick is to collapse the keyboard. When you are ready to submit.

Message the mods instead of trying to create internal turmoil.

The time to be silent is over!!!

I will not stand for these commie buttons for one more minute.

No one will be safe if the submit button is not voted to the center this November. If it stays your phone batteries will burn!

If the comment chain gets long enough the entirety of the submit button gets hidden under the arrow.
