1. Double tap to reveal character

2. Swipe up to re-write character

PRETTY PLEASE!

Ah, items high on my to-do list! Other features to be backported:

3. Submit character reviews in words only when Skritter thinks you actually don't know the character, as opposed to just that it's that character in this word.

4. Click to advance after completion on more types of prompts? (Maybe not, since the affordance of sliding isn't there, so it might be more confusing...)

Other suggestions?

I've implemented 1: double-tap to show. This is applicable to writing prompts, tone prompts, and Chinese pinyin prompts. Try it out on beta and let me know what you think.

Also now on beta is 2: swipe-up to erase. This works like it does on iOS, except that you can't erase reading and definition prompts on the web version, and also I haven't implemented the particle trail or any sort of visual feedback when your erase swipe will be valid. Have a try!

Is there a reason the forum index page is so wrong?
For me this topic is listed as "last updated 4 days ago", when clearly you updated 1 day ago and also today.

Also, the "?comment=x" item in the URL is often wrong/out of date. (not for this thread currently, but often on other threads).
Since the forum doesn't have proper tracking of "new" items, the date & link URL are all I have to work from!

(Sorry for dumping on this thread).

Is it "updated 4 days ago" or "created 4 days ago"? Are you sorting by update time or creation time?

?comment=x will be wrong if:

1) We delete a spam post, which will lower the count by one.
2) You just "refresh" a forum thread instead of loading it afresh from the main topic index page (/forum).
3) Someone else posts while you're posting.

Other than that, I'm not aware of anything that would mess it up. Perhaps you can help me narrow down the cases where it doesn't work?

Ah, you're right, it's created. I had always thought it was "updated", and didn't know you can switch between the 2.

In that case, never mind.

Edit: It looks like posts made on the main site take a while to show up on the beta site forum. I can't find this post on beta for a little while...

That makes sense, I guess--the cache on the beta site wouldn't be cleared when the main site updates it. I wonder if we can easily work around this.

I like the way characters light up (green, yellow, red) after you finish a character in iOS. On the web version it only seems to have red and green. The addition of yellow when you do a mediocre job would be nice. I understand that this is a fairly minor feature but it really helps differentiate a good job from a moderate job.

Ah, that's a good point. That could be something we could port over. I haven't heard much feedback on this particular aspect. Do others find this helpful in the iOS app, too, and want it in the web version?

Yes, I would like yellow.
