roadrunnertwice: Dialogue: "Craigslist is killing mothra." (Craigslist is killing Mothra (C&G))

I just finished doing a major update to Eardogger.com, my simple little bookmarks-for-webcomics app! 🙌🏼

What’s changed? Uhhhhh almost exactly nothing.

  • If you were getting round-tripped to the “saved!” page and back on mobile Safari instead of the nice unobtrusive “ok done” banner, it’s fixed! Generate a new bookmarklet to get the benefit.
  • The delete buttons now have a (hilarious, IMO, but I’m easily amused) spinner effect while they’re working, though blink and you’ll miss it.
  • If you have more than 50 dogears, they’ll get split into multiple pages. No one will ever see this. 😹 But pagination of unlimited data sets is good practice, since it makes you a little harder to DoS.

Yep: pretty much all the work was internal updates with very little visible effect. And boy, there were a lot of them. But hey: Eardogger basically exists in the first place for me to tinker with and learn things. I made it because I wanted it to exist, but I made it the way I did because I wanted to pick up some new skills.

So here’s what I got to monkey with this time:
