I love the idea of this site, and I would like to support it if I can. However, I have encountered an alarming amount of bugs during my browsing of the site so far, and I only made my account 15 or so minutes ago. To list off all that I can recall:
- Often pages just don't load when clicking links, requiring the page to be refreshed
- The privacy policy page is seemingly just missing
- I got an error when initially trying to join this group, which I mentioned in a Reddit comment
- Afterwards, when I tried joining again a bit later, it acted like I joined the group but did not really. Upon refreshing the page, the join group button becomes available again, and it is now shown in the group list as having been joined. And bafflingly, every time I tried to join the group, the group's member count incremented! At the time of writing this, the group supposedly has 5 members, because I 'joined' it 4 times...
- While typing in this very textbox (in the post creation form), my phone's autocorrect is not working for some reason. I'm not sure why this is, but it has made typing this post very tedious as I manually correct mistakes, and I probably missed a few typos.
- At some point while I was typing this post, the submit post button just dissappeared. In order to submit the post, I had to copy all of this text, refresh the page, and then paste it back in again...
For context, which should be clear from that second to last issue, all of these things I have witnessed while using the site on mobile. Now again, despite these issues, I still like the idea of the site - but as long as there are this many bugs, I doubt people will be eager to use it.
Thanks so much for this! This is really appreciated!
There seems to be a severe disconnect in the internal caching mechanism that had a cascading effect that led to much of these. It's disabled for now until it can be corrected. I've worked through most of these so you shouldn't see them anymore. I've tested this myself in both my development environment and this production one so I'm hopeful I've tested enough.
Is this the same privacy link here that is at the bottom of the sidebar/hamburger menu? I know there is a wrong one indexed on Google that I've requested for removal. If it was the one in the reddit thread, I recently changed that too.
Could I get some more info about your os and browser of choice so I can try and figure out what might have happened with your autocorrect? I use Android/Google Keyboard and have tried both chrome and firefox with no issue with autocorrect when testing submitting and commenting. The textbox is also the same code for commenting so I'm curious if you're having an issue there too.
