I’m releasing my little manga reader app Moga in very limited beta, so I made a little video walkthrough https://youtu.be/L1RuPUafYWQ

If this looks interesting to you, I opened up a limited TestFlight available here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/ILwREMUb

Please read the App Details test notes as there are usage caveats!

@via is this project still going? Did you solve the historic accounts only limitation?
Show threadSophia Jan 13, 2025
@imikotoba yes, it’s still supported. MangaDex still hasn’t implemented normal oauth, but you can sign in on any account now if you follow the instructions on the moga website (I think).

@via thanks. I might give it a shot if you’re still accepting test flight applications

@imikotoba is the TestFlight link not working?

@via Thanks - Test Flight works but:

(a) It says I need to update iOS (which means messing about with storage so pending), so not tried there yet

(b) On macOS scrolling with the mouse wheel worked, as did click-and-drag, but not the keyboard (e.g. space, cursor down, page down). Turning “touch alternatives" on the settings enabled cursor up/down but that moves too slowly (and seems to disable the mouse scroll wheel).

I'm guessing you’re a trackpad user because that works nicely for scrolling?

@imikotoba yes it’s mostly trackpad focused. I haven’t worked very much on macOS support beyond “it works on macOS” so there are def some rough edges 😅

@via well, if you fancy it, I think it would be a good start having space and page down scroll by a page or 1/2 page (perhaps configurable later), and page up the opposite. That to me is the low hanging fruit 🍇

@via Using the up/down cursor keys is more tricky.

Perhaps hold to scroll smoothly - but there’s a whole bunch of potential complications like macOS suggesting sticky keys or whatever it’s called as an accessibility service.

Or just offer a configurable fraction of the display to scroll on a single up/down cursor press? Maybe a quarter page by default, but I think that needs trying it to see how it feels.
