Sync doing rather badly on formating check (placed 18 out of 20!)
> Updated! Updates are shown in quote text like this. Some scores are updated following app updates. # An Apps Experiment ## Introduction This is an experiment I performed out of curiosity, and I have a few big disclaimers at the bottom. Basically, I’ve seen a lot of comments recently about one app ...
The linked post essentially performed a benchmark of lemmy apps and if they properly display the formating options available. Sync got 3rd last place, position 18 out of 20 apps, with a score of 6.9 out of 10. There's a comment that essentially contains the test set. I hope we get some fixes, cause some of the problems have been around for a while.
In my personal experience the issues with spoiler tags, and some of the embedded images and their sizes is rather annoying. For example this comment shows perfectly fine on desktop, but becomes a garbled mess on sync (as you can tell by my comment, blaming the bot). Also note that while sync technically gets 3/3 for the images, the last image should be text-sized between the "arrows". It isn't, it's just huge (and consequently a pixelated mess).
Edit: fixed link to example comment for spoiler.
The spoiler tag issue is an especially big problem as it comes up a lot. I still can't let go of Sync as it looks and feels the best, but it would be nice if this stuff got fixed.
Yeah the new media bias bot that posts on many communities uses formatting that looks fine on Lemmy UI but weird in sync
For an app that costs $20, its parity with Lemmy is pretty terrible.
I noticed that too, but considering that list, with no exaggeration, resulted in the deletion of an app, I wasn't going to mention it. Lj knows.
Wait what?
I've noticed the weird formatting stuff when people try to spoiler mark stuff but it's not marked at all, what's the other strange formatting it fails at?
Also still waiting for swiping a post away to show the previous page instead of a black void but that's super minor! Otherwise I really like Sync
Can you include a dollar sing in a code block yet?
$testing. 12$Yes, but superscript doesn't fully work and subscript doesn't at all.
Oh dang, that's kinda wild.
