One of my games has been on pause for quite a while. The timer doesn’t seem to be able to handle that.
Looks like this online:
Ah, yes… another corner I cut was not implementing pause and something called “start mode” (which seems to happen at the beginning of the game). I will fix it in the next version as well.
I am more concerned with how little space you have above and below the board. Could you please let me know what phone is that and perhaps post a screenshot from a game that has a time increment (e.g. displays 3 lines, one for score, one for remaining main time and one for extra time). I am concerned that the texts would overlap.
New version, alpha_b150 is on the way. It has a couple of important fixes, thanks to @hman for his patience in helping me find and fix these errors.
- Login used to fail with error HTTP 500 for some speciffic passwords (it’s been there since forever, totally my bad, facepalm)
- Some games caused the app to crash because the server decided to return 0 instead of false for the ranked value… sometimes. Sometimes it did not (example: https://online-go.com/api/v1/games/15779 )
- Fixed an issue where clicking the “my move” counter might cause a crash in certain (rare) conditions.
- You should now be able to disable the vibration for notifications.

Thank you for all your hard work!

A free product usually is developed as goodwill or because you want to scratch an itch. This means YOU must be your own product owner.
This means you must organize because postponing is human and happens.
Keep a organized (Tree or List based) Todo List. Compile the list into the App Infoscreen so the info is there and at least some users will notice and won’t bitch. Maybe tag the issues with important, useful, nice-to-have or something like that.
Maybe keep a second list for security problems or other stuff you don’t want yet to have public and don’t bake it into the app 
<innocent_mode=on>And no, I’m not speaking out of experience, I am naturally organized and pay attention to the little details 
If a hobby project feels like work it stops feeling fun (usually)

Quite correct but in my opinion not the same thing. It depends how much you want to just slap things together (easy going hobby project) or if you want a nice product (still a hobby project, but with ambitions).
Wanting to do it right doesn’t mean it must become a burden, that depends on a character trait. Being able to do it right without self-organizing on the outside of your own head (if you are the lone developer) also depends on character but it is a different trait
OGS definitively seems to be in the second league (ambitious, quite mature product). I don’t know anything about the insides but it seems so well done and rather complete I don’t think without any kind of organizing the work it would have been possible.
Personally for work or hobbies I need to put stuff down, can’t organize everything inside my head. Quite often I think I can but I learned it isn’t really like that as soon as issues points or whatever get into the lower dozens.
Hey @Jokes_Aside I just fixed an issue today that might be what was causing you to not be able to log in… back in February 
If you could please find the time to try out the app again and let me know if it worked I would really appreciate it. I know it’s been a long time, but I’m asking because it’s important to know if this is indeed related to you having previousely used facebook authentication or not.

Sorry, no luck. I did update the application, but it still doesn’t let me in. It’s not much of a surprise, given the password based login does not work on the website either (I have a password configured, but only facebook authentication works).
Out of curiosity, what was the fix that you made?

The burger menu is a massive improvement! Suddenly the is no doubt what it is you are selecting
That is actually what it’s called, believe it or not 
At least at McDonald’s 
But, seriously: I think that is the “official” name for it among the GUI programmers I know.
Oh, I was not aware of that… only @anoek can help there I guess
I’m ashamed to admit it but I made the rookie mistake of not encoding the password field correctly when sending it to the server
Close, it’s called a hamburger menu but usually when it’s on the top left

Oh I think I finally understand, is this in relation to the 3 horizontal lines menu? I can see how that looks like a hamburger lol
We did conclude something similar in February 
Here’s is the issue I reported back then: Facebook authentication required even after password is set · Issue #574 · online-go/online-go.com · GitHub

Ah, I was not aware you raised an issue back then. Looks like Anoek needs some repro steps, but when I tried doing it I hit a snag: I can’t find the “log in with facebook” button anywhere… what am I missing!!!
Edit: nvm, it was the adblocker…

Would be great if someone managed to reproduce it. Let me know if it works for you.
Hi
Honestly I didn’t read the whole topic but
1: I downloaded a ogs client for my android
2: I don’t use it because
3: OGS is very nice and well done in my browser.
Thanks for reading
Thank you for your insightful comment, it was greatly appreciated.
