Question

It's finally here... The Mobile Update!

This update focused on making the mobile experience much better (save for 2 pages: the settings page and profile page, which will be converted in the next major update), as well as improving notifications. As we speak, the mobile apps are being pushed through the ocean of the interwebz to be released on the iOS and Google Play app stores, so stay tuned for that! ETA is around 1-2 weeks.

In addition to the mobile apps, we have Desktop apps ready for both MacOS and Windows. However, we lack the funding to sign and release them, so we need to wait for funding to be able to get release em.

Here's a small list of the major things that were changed:
~ Mobile Redesign
~ New Menu
~ Desktop Notifications are now Push Notifications, and can be received even without the website open on both Desktop and Mobile
~ LaTeX Greatly Optimized
~ LaTeX added to the messages page
~ Codeblocks added to the messages page
~ A completely reprogrammed EventServer
~ LOTS of bug fixes and optimizations
~ New sub feature: GIF profile pictures
~ New domain name for shorturls: qcv.gg

There are a few known bugs noted in this update, and will be patched in the coming days. I really hope you guys enjoy, since many sleepless nights were spent on this!
As always, leave any suggestion you have for the site below, and report any bugs that need squashing!

The mobile update is looking good so far. Can’t view profiles though 🤡

Answer 107

I do believe that was stated in the title that the profiles will be covered in the next update

Answer 108

Yep! I haven’t read the entire thing yet and regardless I always give feedback if needed

Answer 109

Well how are you supposed to give good feedback if you dont pay attention to what he said

Answer 110

I went on mobile, it's great

Answer 111

I had a great idea for the responsive design on mobile @Ultrilliam

Answer 112

Hm?

Answer 113

I noticed on my smaller device, when scrolling through the site, that sometimes the QC logo at the top of the page overlaps some content. So I was thinking that for mobile screens, you could only have the dolphin as the link to study, instead of the whole site name. I also thought that since on mobile you can't see the user list (which I know you were going to fix in the next update), the link could be changed to have the user list pop up, and when you click it again, have it go away., kind of like the way you can view what questions people answer when you are on their profiles. I also thought that when going onto the study, instead of the lame regular loading symbol, you you could have a cool dolphin jumping in and out of the water.

Answer 114

wait what, the userlist is available on mobile now tho?

Answer 115

And I do def want to change the boring loading screen, but that's a job for @Angle

Answer 116

So until she can, it'll have to be a tad boring ATM

Answer 117

Alternatively if @sammixboo wants to give it a shot...

Answer 118

Also, what do you mean it can overlap some content? can I get a screenshot of what you mean?

Answer 119

No, you can't see the user list, I just thought that a good way to make mobile users see the user list was to change the QC logo into a button that made the user list fade in on the screen. I'll get the screenshot, one moment.

Answer 120

https://snipboard.io/RGiTjy.jpg see?

Answer 121

this is on my Ipod

Answer 122

Ithis screenshot is not from my ipod, I went into inspect, and changed the screen res to what my ipod is

Answer 123

this just happened on my ipod

Answer 124

as you can see the logo gets overlapped

Answer 125

oh that's weird, that's def not supposed to happen. Could you give me what model ipod you have?

Answer 126

I have a 4th generation. Yes, I am an old timer

Answer 127

lol

Answer 128

uh... wow ok. Sorry to say but the app won't be compatible with that. The minimum version is iOS 10...

Answer 129

No wonder it doesn't work right for you

Answer 130

Even on the browser? Cuz thats what I was using.

Answer 131

Yes, because their browser protocols were very outdated even then. It's like trying to use QC on IE8, which we recently dropped support for. I'm surprised it even runs tbh

Answer 132

ooooh, hahaha. I am not using safari, thats why it runs. I have jail broken my Ipod and have an updated browser, that can still receive updates

Answer 133

guess it works for me tho lol, if I simply change the orientation, it doesnt overlap anymore, so its all good.

Answer 134

Hey @Ultrilliam , is there going to be Trophy's for each subject like:Music,Art,Computer Science etc etc? :>

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

I wouldn't mind at all! I just have to wait a bit because I am loaded with college work, but after that, I'd be more than willing to. Along with vectorization

Answer 136

Personally can't wait to see something besides "Choose a Subject" on the loading screen 👀

Answer 137

Any personal suggestions?

Answer 138

Hmm...

"Please wait while your educational journey loads!" or something that perhaps has to do with the goal of the site?

Answer 139

Yes there is @xxderpypugxx, feel free to leave suggestions on what you think should be added

Answer 140

I feel like I should get some credit for the sidebar yo

Answer 141

Answer 143

*someone

Answer 144

my resolution makes this happen

Answer 145

@Ultrilliam

Answer 146

What is your zoom level?

Answer 147

Regular

Answer 148

Why did this send me a desktop notification?

Answer 149

That's part of the Push Notifications, you can configure it through the push notifications menu @bananas

Answer 150

Yeah I disabled it, didn't realize having it enabled would send notifs while the tab is closed, but just read the api.

Answer 151

Yup, that was part of this update

Answer 152

Bug Report 1: I can't access the push notification menu while in settings.
Bug Report 2: While in the settings menu, when I try to click the QC logo I am not taken to questioncove.com, but rather questioncove.com/settings#/study
