We've revamped listnook's mobile site! Let us know what you think (not that we'd have to ask)

[deleted]

Letting you know what I think: - looks great. - Can't find the option to save submissions to view later. I don't wanna view some [bigass image](http://www.ouramazingplanet.com/infographic-tallest-mountain-to-deepest-ocean-trench-0249/) on my phone but I'd like to save it so that I can view it from my computer when I log in later.

Hey Admins, the URL appears to be case sensitive: i.listnook.com = mobile site I.listnook.com = listnook.com/r/I I.Listnook.com = listnook.com home page

Yesss. Awesome! One thing though: You guys need an apple-touch-icon for when people add it to the home screen!

I honestly think it looks great. Great job listnook. Edit: I don't know why I just referred to the developers as listnook.

It's missing a `` (and multiple bitmaps, for iOS and Safari, as I'm pretty certain they don't support SVG icons: ``, etc.). Android has always supported this and I *think* iOS has for a while too. `apple-touch-icon` is non-standard and outdated, though Android does support it for now for backwards compatibility. If you're wondering, this icon stuff is defined in the HTML5 spec. Not to mention that the URLs themselves are to some password protected site. Edit: All of the buttons are looking non-anti-aliased on my Nexus One running Froyo.

The "load more comments" button on the mobile site looks absolutely massive in Chrome. I hope it's not on the phones, because it happens multiple times per page :/ http://www.b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk/data/tiff/cd9f7514f31721a354b28ad98e44e5b1_butts.tiff

This looks great, but i have a suggestion: add more space between the threaded comment boxes. Just a few pixels. Its hard to quickly tell which threads are replies and such. Other than that it looks and works awesome.

I don't know how well the site is optimized for Opera Mini (which is what I use on my shitty phone), but it kinda sucks. 1. There's less information than in the previous version. I don't know if it's because the fonts seem bigger. 2. The top titlebar is truncated over the hot/save/etc bar. 3. The fonts colours used for the Options and that other number above it (just realized it's for comments) look like embossed text on my phone. Really difficult to read. When I logged on to listnook I thought it'd been hacked. 4. The voting/options/comments buttons are much too large. They're obstructing some sublistnook name in some cases. 5. Everything is way too large on the comment page. Plus horizontal scrolling's not available which means that all the text becomes bunched up. The old version's comment page was better. Despite this, it's got some potential and I think I'm gonna like what it becomes.

I found some issues! Infinite scrolling is nice, but if you click a link then hit back Listnook reloads and you have to infinitely scroll all over again. (on iPad) Infinite scrolling doesn't seem to work at all on the Palm Pre. This could be a network issue or something, though. The toolbar thing prevents YouTube links from being opened by the YouTube app. (on both Pre and iPad) Good work so far, though!

Holy shit, it's usable! If my coworkers thought my shits took a long time before wait till they see what happens now.

Much better than iListnook for iPhone. Very kickass for the first public iteration! /edit for spelling

I feel like the main site could borrow a couple things from this. Great job, it looks fantastic!

Thanks for adressing concerns ith iPhone app. I'm very happy with just having a mobile site even if I did pay for the app haha. Keep up the good work. We appreciate the open dialouge.

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but is there an option to only show the first couple replies to a post? The one thing I hate doing while browsing on my phone is scrolling endlessly passed the first post because of all of the replies. I'm aware that there's the collapse feature, but it would just be nice to see the original post and a couple of the top rated replies, and if I wanted to see more, *then* I could click a button and expand it

The down arrow button in the top right doesnt do anything for me in mobile safari. I hope login option is there because i had to click "saved" to get asked to login. Needs a fav icon specific to iphones. Not sure how that works. Also there aren't and never were scrollbars on this comment textarea. It's tough to scroll to the top of my comment while editing. I blame the missing arrow keys on the iphone keyboard, but maybe there's some way to clean up scrolling. Even a texarea which grows? Otherwise, this is awesome.

Now I can listnook and drive even easier!

Gecko-based browser support would be much appreciated for those using browsers such as MicroB or Mozilla's own Fennec browser. The up/down vote arrows aren't showing properly. Also, the white text on the buttons is hard to read. I had very similar results with both of these browsers on my Nokia N900. It looks the same using the standard Firefox 3.6 in Ubuntu 10.04.

Palm Pre here. Overall, looks great. Much easier to navigate with fingers. The floating toolbar works great on WebOS. The bad: Not only does infinite scrolling not work, but there's no way to go to the "next page" of links. Can only see the first N or so posts, with no way to go to the next ones. Also, I miss the little extra bit of info that shows the domain that the post points to (i.e. the little bit where it says "imgur.com" or "cnn.com" or "self.listnook.com", etc.

Very cool. Probably won't use listnookisfun any longer on Android. This interface is much nicer and has full functionality!

Good work, its working very well on my Nexus One. Of course, the iPhone-like Design ist somewhat annoying but its Ok. There is only one big thing for me: the Icons are a little bit too small on a High-Res-Display. Its hard to touch them... maybe you think about this because the iPhone4 also comes with High-Res-Display...

What is the "Options" button supposed to do? Nexus One, Android 2.1, Dolphin Browser (not HD): It doesn't seem to do anything. Nexus One , Android 2.1, Browser: A popup appears. When I press one of the choices it presses a link/button **behind** the popup.

Just checked it out on my Android phone in the default browser. It looks pretty damn awesome, and I'll be using it alongside listnook is fun :) Brilliant design, paradox! (If I had any gripes, it'd be that it needs more orangered)

BRAVO!! Thank you to everyone who worked on this. A lot of us have been waiting expectantly since the first screenshots were released.

Looks great, I love the comments. Two problems on my N900 though * When opening any link, the actually page will be displayed in a VERY small frame at the top of the page [screenshot from PC, but same on phone](http://imgur.com/RBsyk.jpg) * A lot of phones have touch screens, why waste all that lovely space when it could be used to make big buttons? [Here's my best mockup](http://i.imgur.com/UBX0c.png) If you could fix these it would be perfect

I am using the old mobile site quite a lot. I don't have a smartphone but a pretty capable regular phone (Sony Ericsson W715). The old mobile site is better than this one for that phone. The main problem with the old site is that some links leads to the regular site, and that the description of the title (in self posts) isn't shown. And it is hard to find sublistnooks to browse to. So the old m.listnook.com is great. I like it a lot.

Wow, this looks great! The page is quite slow on my 2.1 Milestone though (running at 1000 MHz).

Great. How about updating the paid version of the Listnook iPhone app. The mailbox feature is completely inaccurate.

First off, i'm on mobile safari. * My "open links in new windows" setting doesn't seem to work in this interface. * I don't like the listnook bar at the top of non-listnook pages for links that i click.

Now, *this* is a mobile version of listnook :P

I can't seem to find the "hide" button for articles.

Is this revamp only for touch screen phones? It looks terrible on my Blackberry Tour and now of the margins are formatted properly. Or am I doing something wrong?

Ugh. I was a frequent mobile listnook user (even reported a few problems), but I gave up because of the issues. Anyway, on my WebKit based browser on Nokia E71 (which many listnookors use) the three choices aren't even visible. It looks like when I go with Opera on my PC, just empty boxes. Here's a screenshot of what happens when I scroll, after choosing the new interface: http://imgur.com/UBNLO

You're welcome everyone.

Prepare yourself to Facepalm, but... how do I use this new amazing listnook? I'm on my phone now and everything looks the same as it did before.

interestingly, a new (free) listnook app was just released a week or two ago on the app store — [Alien Blue](http://www.alienblue.com/). its pretty nice if you're on any of the apple iProducts — a long way ahead of iListnook / the old mobile site, comparable with the new mobile site (so probably good for the h******* listnookers who want a separate app so they don't get distracted into procrastination by all those other sites while browsing listnook) for my money (i.e. none since both are free) i prefer the toolbar provided in the Alien Blue app (ie for votes/saves/hides/comments) to the one in the new mobile site (which is a fixed size and renders with the page, so wide pages make it *tiny*)

infinite scrolling would be nice in /r/pics for the desktop version of listnook... just sayin'

Thanks! Looks great on my Palm Pre.

Why is this still showing up in today's top links?

I'm a little confused, I saved I.listnook.com to my iPhone home page and when I click it, it opens as if it's an ap, but then when I click anything it closes the 'ap' and opens it in safari. So then when I'm done looking at the link or comments I have to close safari and open the "ap" again, which takes a second to load. The only reason why I saved it to my home page anyway was so it would just open it in safari. What's going on? Why does it open as I it's an ap? Thanks!

Posted here as well: http://www.listnook.com/r/IAmA/comments/cd9rq/iama_developer_on_the_listnook_mobile_webapp_ama/c0rrkr8 My only visual problem so far is that there is way too much blue. Blue buttons, every other row has blue link on blue background. Maybe add more contrast, otherwise, it looks great! Also add more padding for each "row" as the option and vote number between 2 rows is a little too close to me

I found the link on the web, so I tried it from the 'smart'phone. I got the link to the blog, which took me to the link on the web. I found the mobile site, but couldn't comment about it from the mobile site. so I got back on the notebook and sent you this note. About how I couldn't send the note from the mobile site. I found the link on the web, so I tried it on the 'smart'phone...

A few things I notice on my droid running Dolphin Browser HD: 1.) The upboats and downboats are rendered weird. That is the most technical term I could think of. It might be beneficial to utilize something like what Listnook is Fun uses. Where you click the link, it gives you options to upboat, downboat, link or comment. 2.) The buttons' borders do not go all the way around the buttons in every instance. 3.) The color scheme is great. All in all it is a huge improvement. Thank you very much!

I tried to reply to a comment, but because it's almost impossible to press the reply button without pressing the whole comment, I decided to do it like this. This actually sums up my complain, same goes for for the arrows and other buttuns. This is from mobile opera 5, Android. It doesn't have pinch and zoom, Dolphin does, so this isn't a problem there .

Thank you, I never wanted an iPhone app, since the purpose of listnook was typically to go to web pages. This is much preferred, and fast to boot.

Not working right on MicroB (Firefox 3.5 based) V 1.7.4.8 on the N900: http://www.imgur.com/MhtZI.jpg

Upvote and downvote arrows don't display on opera 9 on HTC Touch pro running Windows Mobile 6.5

Question: do most 'basic' mobile phones not have a side-scrolling functionality? Whenever I go to m.listnook.com on my relatively basic phones, it's as if the page is designed without scrolling in mine. I just press the left and right navigational buttons as I do with the up-and-down ones. Because of the lack of scrolling on the site, the text box gets smaller and smaller, to fit a fixed-width screen. Wouldn't it be better to keep the text box of each comment, no matter how far down a thread, an equal-sized box, just indented to the right? Instead of seeing: | Listnook comment blah blah blah | Listnook comment blah blah bl | ah | Listnook comment blah bla | h blah | Listnook comment blah | blah blah And so on, all the way down to (you'll know what I mean, if you have used m.listnook.com before): | R | e | d | d | i | t | | c | o | m | m | e | n | t | | b | l | a... And so on. You know the sad part? I'm such a Listnook comment addict that I've tried to read comments one line thick before. Instead of this, it would be | Listnook comment blah blah blah | Listnook comment blah blah blah | Listnook comment blah blah blah In other words, sanctity of *comment width*, not sanctity of *page width*.

iPhone user using i.listnook.com Don't mind the small icons or whatever, *but* Loose the toolbar. It's awful. It doesn't work well at all. And it's nigh on impossible to get rid of, which then just causes the bloody page to reload. Stupid.

It is terrible! Ability to see comments and save links for later were the only reason I was visiting listnook from mobile phone. Now that this ability is gone, there's absolutely no reason why I would visit mobile version again.

Very nice, but any chance of redirecting automatically from www.listnook.com based upon a user agent check? That would be handy when following links from the rss feed on an iPhone.

Thanks very much - this was really needed. I *really* wish it didn't look like an iPhone app (seriously, I can't stand this trend in mobile sites) but who am I to complain.

Really? F*** yea. I use the mobile site all the time! Thanks!

It'd be nice if this would still show the domain of the submitted link. I tend to avoid clicking anything from youtube.com on my phone as I don't want to be billed for streaming lots of MB.

Would be nice to differentiate the amount of upvotes and the options button a little. They are essentially the same which draws no focus. Same with the 'show text' aA button.

I don't want to pick on listnook in particular because a lot of sites seem to do this, but why do so many mobile sites disable zooming? Zooming is practically essential on a mobile device because buttons may be too small to press or text may be too small to read. Mobile sites are a situation when you're sure the user has a pretty small screen, but it's the one time when people seem to go out of their way to disable zoom. This is fine if you've guessed exactly right on the size of everything, but that is an awfully optimistic assumption to make. For example, on my phone, the height of the "Options" button is equal to the thickness of two pennies, and the size of the button with the number of comments is also the same height. The distance between them is approximately the thickness of one penny (maybe 1.25 pennies). So I have this nifty multitouch display, and I try pinch to zoom to make those buttons a little bigger, and it does nothing. Also, the height of the text in the line "NNNN points submitted H hours ago by xxxxx to YyyyYyyy" is very small and just about impossible to reliably tap.

Maybe I'm being stupid... But why does every link I click in when I'm in the icon I added to the home screen open up a different instance of Safari?
