    KT Walrus got a reaction from AlexJ in Invision Community 5: A more performant, polished UI   
    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?

    KT Walrus got a reaction from LemonGrenade in Giphy going premium or with ads in December!   
    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?

    KT Walrus got a reaction from Maxxius in Invision Community 5: Topic Summaries   
    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.

    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.

    KT Walrus got a reaction from Clover13 in iOS PWA needs reload and back buttons on every page   
    Maybe the solution to the navigation issues I’m having is to treat all topic links as external links. 
     
    Try an external link in the PWA:
    https://dev.to/chicio/implement-a-pull-to-refresh-component-for-you-web-application-1pc
     
    If links to content were treated like the link above, it would be natural to return to the list of topics. Problem now is you can view a topic from a number of different lists, e.g. forum, search, activity, profile, etc. Having to use the Forum button to navigate back to the referer link only goes to the enclosing forum. 
     
    Anyway, there is much that could be done to make navigation within the PWA better.

    How long does the PWA keep me signed in?
    Also, can you support sign in by Face/Touch Id?
    And, will Badge show on the HomeScreen icon to indicate the number of unread notifications or even just unread PMs?

    KT Walrus got a reaction from Hisashi in [Suggestion] Storage method: FTP   
    Yes they are. And in full disclosure, I have a large amount invested in this company as I see them eventually becoming very large and taking significant share of the cloud storage market away from Amazon S3. Backblaze B2 is significantly cheaper to use especially since AWS charges such high egress fees to deliver content to end users.
  13. Agree
    KT Walrus got a reaction from CheersnGears in [Suggestion] Storage method: FTP   
    Please consider adding a separate Backblaze B2 storage method. The existing S3 method doesn’t completely work.
    B2 is very cheap at $5/TB and when combined with free Cloudflare CDN, B2 has NO egress fees  So, all you pay is $0.005/GB stored  Using Cloudflare Workers, you can even make the whole bucket private.
    Making a separate storage method for B2 will allow you to fix the small issues with using Amazon S3 method so B2 works completely.

    The link back to the PWA uses “untitled” as the app name when opening the link with an external app. 

    Perhaps the manifest is missing an app title attribute?
    Here is a screenshot when opening with Chrome from the Invision Community PWA:

    KT Walrus got a reaction from SJ77 in Upgrade to CKEditor 5   
    CKEditor 4 is EOL by the end of 2023, it seems.
    Invision should be prepared to deprecate CKEditor 4 sometime in 2023.
    Since CKEditor 5 is very different than CKEditor 4, I think Invision should release a beta of CKEditor 5 in an upcoming release with CKEditor 4 being the default editor. An ACP setting should be available if a site wants to switch to the beta CKEditor 5 early. This forum could switch to CKEditor 5 as soon as possible to help get any integration problems addressed early.
