@julian said in January 2023 Developer Update:

@exodo everything? Somethings are bigger, yes... font size in general is at least 2px larger, but that's part of the re-design.

The thread slider was so big yesterday, i see you changed it today. Way better.

Topic listing font is very big. I can barely see only 4 topics title at same time

Will be nice if you add font size personalization for the main options

julian

@exodo that may be a bit of an exaggeration no? I'm comparing my phone with this site and try.nodebb.org.

The former (Harmony) displays 8 topics, the latter (Persona) can display 9.

The font sizes are controlled via a single variable on the theme side now, so it is trivial to change it for different sites, but I don't think we can make it user configurable easily.

@exodo are you using chrome on mobile? And have you changed your font size/display size settings. I noticed an issue with chrome on mobile a while back. It is filed here https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/11151. Sometimes font sizes are all whacked up on chrome, doesn't happen on firefox. Left is when it's working fine, right is when it goes

@baris yikes

<baris>

@julian haha yup, it's all fine if you don't change the font size/display size in android settings. With the default settings it looks fine and doesn't change randomly.

@exodo @Kosiak let us know how it looks now, we are testing some custom css here to disable font scaling done by the browsers. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13430897/how-to-override-font-boosting-in-mobile-chrome. I've applied the below custom css and it fixes the issue I am having on android chrome. Without the max-height rule android chrome just scales text for me.

body * {
    max-height:1000000px;
    text-size-adjust: none;
    -webkit-text-size-adjust: none;
    -moz-text-size-adjust: none;
}

In seriousness, we do have a subscription to LambdaTest so we can give it a try there too

crazycells

I wont be able to send my iphones or my wife killing me
You can always hire me as betatester

Really, while nodebb desktop has been always an incredible experience, nowadays every web should go mobile first and that involves android and ios perfect testing. Nodebb been lacking ios perfect integration since his launch.
I encourage you to reinforce these aspects with harmony

julian

@exodo you're right, of course. Part of that is because we both use Android phones.

Having additional eyes would certainly be helpful. Let's chat about maybe a couple dedicated bugfix weeks for iOS not sure if I will regret them.

Does it count for extra points if Baris has extra incentive to optimize NodeBB for speed because he uses a super slow Nokia 7.1?

brazzerstop

NodeBB now don't have realtime update the new topic? Count in sidebar work, but to view the new topic, need refresh page.

julian

@brazzerstop It's been like that for a long time now. We don't dynamically update the topics list because it pushes everything downwards, and is unexpected behaviour for the end user.

Baris deserve an iphone for bday. Does nokia still exist?

Certainly does

It sure does. I was very very excited when they came back. I used a Nokia 6.1 for quite awhile, until it got too slow
