New bug has seemingly cropped up on Android. If you tap the middle of the screen to bring up the progress bar and the settings menu the part you are reading breaks. Instead of the text being continuous except for images it splits each paragraph onto a separate page.
-
@sniper_samurai Is this Chrome? Can you also provide the version?
I can reproduce it on my side (Android 12, Chrome v102) but just to confirm.
-
@Crimson-Wise Yeah, it's Android version 102.0.5005.59 of Chrome. My phone is on Android 10.
-
@sniper_samurai Thanks. It even looks worse on desktop Chrome.
For now, I can only suggest to use Firefox or another alternative.
In more detail, there seems to be some issues with CSS Columns in the latest Chrome version, which I use to simulate pagination. I'm not completely sure this is the cause, but will wait until they continue working on it before deciding what to do on my side.
-
@Crimson-Wise Seems to be working fine with Edge too and can still add to home screen on Android with Edge. Switching pages is a little unresponsive with that but isn't too bad.
-
@sniper_samurai Edge is now showing the same glitch as Chrome so it must be an issue with Chromium rather than any one browser.
-
Yeah, anything using Chromium 102 or newer from what I can tell. My main impression is that it's a bug in Chromium itself.
I gave it a try to see what it could be, and if I could find a workaround, but didn't. Need to give it another, otherwise I guess I'll report a bug.

Hey, I have recently been unable to select text for copy pasting. Issue persists both on Firefox and Chrome on Windows 11. However, a friend told me he can copy and paste snippets of text no problem, so the problem very much might be in something I am doing. Is this an issue that has appeared before that would have some known possible solutions?
-
No changes from my side at least, and I'm able to copy/paste on desktop (MacOS - Safari/Firefox.) Note that it only works via mouse, using touch is treated as swiping pages which is why you can't select text on mobile.
-
It could be that my laptop's touchscreen is messing this up somehow then. It worked fine on my desktop (now out of commission), but it does not work with my laptop. Mouse and touch work differently though (can't change pages with cicking and dragging mouse etc) but neither allows for selection of text.

I have released an update to the app, and changed hosting from Netlify to Cloudflare Pages. While it's a relatively substantial update internally, it's not so much externally, but there are a few things:
- Finally added a button to scroll to the top in the Home tab.
- The reader now supports something I call "Bus Mode", that blurs the images in case, e.g., you happen to be in public transport. Can be activated via the eye-looking button in the reader toolbar.
- Some pages were reorganized, in particular, the Releases and Series tabs.
Other than that, it should be faster and less glitchy, but let me know in case of things broken.
(At least it doesn't seem to be updating automatically to the new version in my iPhone, that I had to connect it to my laptop and hard refresh it...)
-
Only the first and the last parts are readable:
Not sure if bug or API reasons. Other series are fine.
-
@Tube Thanks, the expiration information was missing for those parts. I guess it's a bug in the data, since I don't see that to be the case in other series.
In any case, updated the app to handle it. Fixed on version
v240326.dfea683- to force an update you can reload the page (which starts the app update in the background) and then reload the page again 10 seconds later, that should be the latest version. -

By the way, is there a way to prevent more than two columns on desktop screen sizes?
I can usually manage with a different window size, but it would be nice if there was a setting you could tick that would make it limit to two columns, no matter screen size. Extra points if the two columns used the extra screen real estate to be wider, but not even necessary. I'd rather have a maximum of two columns at once, even if they would be no wider than they are here with four.
-
@Tube They've said in the past that it's tuned so the pages have an A4 aspect ratio, which I'm sure works great for their screens. Personally, I would aim for a certain number of Em's per column so the number of columns goes down as the font size goes up and the words per line stays roughly constant.
-
It's the images in particular the problem. If I don't keep the aspect ratio they start clipping. And fixing that becomes a pain I hadn't have much interest to solve since doesn't apply much to me (I read from my phone/tablet, so it's usually a single column).
That said, I do have control on the number of columns so I have added a setting for that, although it will keep the aspect ratio. It's in the Reader settings once the app upgrades for you.
(And with this update the app goes from fully static to serverless since I needed to proxy image requests to work around CORS for caching...)

The trick is to explicitly set the CSS height of the .rr-image-wrapper to the height of the viewport. You would have to script it to update every time the layout changes, if that's possible in your framework of choice.
-
Could you change part 1 to show part 1 of X for currently streaming series that have not released all parts? Or simply put it on part 1 of all series?
I can never recall without going to the series page how many parts a series is going to have, but I noticed that the part count is in the json data you show under the "info button"
}, "owned": true, "noEbook": false, "totalParts": 12
-
@sorvani tried at some point but I wasn't satisfied with how it fitted, so I ended up with the below.

I assume you're referring to the series page in the JNC's official website.
In my app you can find it in the Volume info panel: click in the three dots below the volume cover -> Information -> Parts.

Honestly I meant either. Your app does have easy ways to get there, no complaints about that. But seeing it once in the primary view would be great.
