Now that I have disk cache and all that kind of stuff that can add a ton of headache to manage the app state if you didn't open it for days (like I do with @ivory ;)) I've added a fancy jump to latest button. It clear all the cache, position and just show you the new stuff in case you get stuck on ... old stuff.

@dimillian 👏

The rate of development and updates with your app is amazing. I’ve enjoyed keeping up with the progression to where it is now!

@dimillian @ivory isn’t that what the count indicator will do if you tap it? I did like that button you removed.
Show threadThomas RicouardFeb 5, 2023
@sanguish @ivory so it’ll be back in 1.4.0. A tap on the count will scroll to latest unread. The jump to latest just discard the whole timeline and reload the latest Toot at the top. It’s a reset buttons if you’re been away for days and don’t want to scroll up 1000 posts for example.

@dimillian I thought tapping the toolbar button did that too. (My preference is that)

You’re killing it, btw.

@sanguish you mean the status bar?
Show threadsanguishFeb 5, 2023
@dimillian no the timeline button. Doesn’t it do that now? If you tap on it if you’re already viewing the timeline?
Show threadThomas RicouardFeb 5, 2023
@sanguish Ahh so, the timeline button also scroll to top, but imagine the app is "late" 1000 posts now, and you have to scroll up to load them etc... so the timeline button will scroll to the top of whats loaded. But if you want to reload it to the latest, there. is a menu button now.

@dimillian oh, ok. Gotcha. Thanks!

@dimillian Just curious, if that button clears all the cache, it is different from just going to the top of the timeline like when I tap the iOS status bar, isn't it? If so, It just came to my mind while doing the localization thing that the button should say "Reload Timeline" or something.

@he reload sound good too, but yes it clear the cache on top of scrolling to top unlike the status bar. But pointing that out to the user is a bit much.

@dimillian Okay, I'll be aware of that for now. Thanks for the clarification 🙂

@dimillian that’s pretty cool. I don’t go into my “Boosters” list every da, and sometimes it takes multiple refreshes to get to the top.
Show threadThomas RicouardFeb 5, 2023
@jakecarpenter exactly. I noticed this behavior when using ivory. Basically if you launch it after a few days it’s just too crazy to go to the top. And now that Ice Cubes have the same behavior I needed a new magic button.
