  1. Perhaps reading this web.dev article will help you to understand manifest updates on various devices. https://web.dev/learn/pwa/update Not sure if article is updated to reflect latest OS/browser versions.
  2. I'm very curious about the UX improvements made to uploading/cropping profile photos especially when using mobile devices. Perhaps you could do some blogs from the perspective of an iPhone/Android user in the future?
  3. Any way to run a system task to download all the Giphy images referenced in existing posts, save those images to your site's storage, and to rebuild the posts with Giphy links to link to your site's storage? Seems like something you would want to do before deactivating Giphy. Maybe this should be built into Invision Community?
  4. I hope you never do AI generated topic summaries. I’d rather use the ReaderView in Safari to read topics. If I want summaries of the topic, I’ll use one of the many AI tools available for MacOS to generate AI summaries of text in the browser. Browser makers are starting to build AI into their browsers to do these summaries. Check out Arc’s AI features. I’m pretty sure that Apple and Google will integrate more AI features in the coming year. As long as IC5 supports Reader View in Safari, I’m pretty sure that AI built into the OS will generate these summaries for the user. Use your developers time supporting ReaderView and properly printing Topics including all replies to a PDF for topic archiving on the user’s device. I bet next year’s MacOS release will build in AI features such as article summaries directly into Siri or ReaderView where they belong. This reminds me of websites that used to build in spell checking which never worked very well. What a waste of developer time. Some features really belong to the OS or browser so they are well implemented and generally available.
  5. Clicking on "Enable in this browser" does nothing using the new Safari PWA on my Mac. Not sure if this issue is specific to me or is a general bug affecting other users.
  6. Just started using the PWA for this site in Safari ("Add to Dock" in Share menu) on my Mac... The default theme for Invision Community still doesn't have buttons/links for Back/Forward/Refresh when using the PWA. Keyboard shortcuts are available and the Go menu does have Back and Forward actions, so not having UI elements is not a big deal on the Mac PWA. But the same issue affects the UX when using the IOS PWA so it is a problem for Apple device users. Please fix the default theme for Invision Community to address this navigation issue in the PWA and make sure the new default theme in IC5 corrects this UX issue.
  7. Support for MySQL transactions in v5? Database operations that insert/update rows in multiple tables should be grouped into a single transaction. This improves data replication and avoids data inconsistency from accumulating over time. This mainly affects content creation/modification. Support for spatial data types and queries in v5? I'd like to see full support for spatial indexes and queries on at least lat/long points. Support for date and time types in v5? I'd like to see full support for YEAR, DATE, TIME, DATETIME, and TIMESTAMP including fractional seconds for times stored in the database, e.g., TIMESTAMP(6) and TIME(6). Also support many of the remaining data types as you can including binary and json data types. I feel like the database layer has been neglected over the years in favor of the UX and hope that v5 will address this side of the SDK.
  8. Existing sales are not, but I'm thinking about accelerating future sales of IPS Cloud which I believe would be greatly accelerated with an open-source self-hosted version of v4 or v5, especially if you could get the price of entry-level IPS Cloud to under $20/month. A free tier of the open-source version with limited features could make conversion to paying user accelerate. Anyway, this is my last comment on this... I just wanted to get you to consider open source as an option to scale your business. You need all the help you can get from third-party developers to accelerate adoption of IPS Cloud, IMHO.
  9. You wouldn't need VC funding as you already have IPS Cloud business generating capital to invest in software development. Anyway, this is OT now, but it occurred to me that not having an open source version of your product is hindering your ability to grow to a large player in this industry. And, I fear that you are about to lose even more third-party developers with your transition to v5 resulting in IC being a very niche product. Third-party developers are key to almost all successful growing internet companies.
  10. Well then, please consider open sourcing v5. Many many of the most successful companies in our industry have an open source version of their products. Rather than shrinking revenue and profits, open source greatly accelerates sales and reduces future development and maintenance expenses as you can leverage the open source community and get millions of users and hundreds of thousands of paying customers. Also, it could lead to IPS Cloud being more reasonably priced, generating more sales and revenue.
  11. @Matt Please consider open sourcing v4 when you release v5.
  12. I'd like to see PDF generation for content/invoices/etc in emails and for download. Users being able to archive content to PDFs stored locally on their devices is a big missing feature in 4.x. Don't know how difficult it is to generate PDF, but I don't think it is that much different than generating HTML using templates. For my custom apps, integrating PDF generation as a core service would be very desirable.
  13. Maybe verify what PHP settings you are really running with in the ACP? You can run phpinfo from the Get Support page (under Tools & Diagnostics sidebar). Scroll down to see what disable_functions is set to... Or, check out all the other settings in the phpinfo page...
  14. My hope is that Invision adds support for B2 storage method. Also, I would like to see support for TUS uploading directly to S3 or B2 by incorporating a TUS/S3 uploader in Invision Community like Uppy. I'm kind of hoping that version 5 replaces plupload with tus since tus protocol is more of a standard that many cloud services provide endpoints for uploading. I'd really like if my backend server didn't have to support any uploading/downloading of files, only HTML/CSS/JS over HTTPS. Leave all that to my cloud storage provider. Cuts my costs way down and allows me to support video attachments (not just YouTube embeds) on my site. Note that for Uppy, you currently need to run their Companion on your backend to upload to S3, but many other cloud services (especially for video streaming) provide tus endpoints so no data transfer to an intermediate server is required.
