This is due to the navbar still being part of the âold wayâ, so the data flow is a bit wonky until everything is using the ânew wayâ. Weâre going to release a patch soon though that should make things more seamless while we continue to work on this. 
This is in the works as well! Good idea about the toggle.
my only gripe at the moment is the âIâm watchingâ.
I donât use natively for video stuffâŠso itâs just a lot of wasted real estate.
Would be nice to have the option to turn this off or even the possibility for users who use natively more for watching than reading to be able to preferentially turn one or both off and/or reorder which one they might want to see firstâŠ
nit picky stuff but ⊠eh figured iâd throw it out thereâŠ
TY!!!
editâŠalso if we have a lot of books - maybe an option to display 2 rows of now reading (instead of one)⊠less scrollyâŠ
havenât used the new DB much yet but also noticed having to click filters
personally hate having all the extra clicks⊠Iâm someone that hates when something that used to be a single click becomes 2 or 3 or 4⊠ugh microslop office⊠
but suggestion to add a couple of single click buttons (or toggle) in this area:
could be a favorite setting or a fav filter or something like thatâŠor just shortcuts?..
Personally I only use the âmeâ and âfollowingâ on the âreadingâ but having to click to open the filter x1 then click me x2 and then click close x3 and rinse repeat to switch between the two is annoyingâŠ
yeah I know itâs nit picky (personal preferences but something to consider)âŠ
edit⊠oh I just realized there is no âIâm Finished Buttonâ on the new DB ⊠the one that automatically puts the book at the end w/o having to type a page numberâŠ
ahhh I see just flipping it to finished does it⊠but seems like one extra click has been added⊠one to click down and one to click finished then save ⊠vs finished and save⊠(more added clicks which arenât necessary in the current db)
Two things from mobile I noticed today:
Playing with the old dialog to check its behaviour, it doesnât autoclose â the âIâm finishedâ link puts the page count to max and sets the book state to finished, but the dialog is still active so you can cancel it or change your mind. So the difference is that in the new dialog you have to click on the reading status widget and then click again to select âfinishedâ. Thatâs pretty similar, but to me feels just a touch less obvious (personally I didnât expect that to also update the page count, unlike the explicit âIâm finishedâ link: I tend to assume controls inside a dialog donât affect each other) and itâs two clicks rather than one.
The new version of the dialog does correctly remember the page count if you switch to âfinishedâ and then back to âreadingâ; the old dialog has a bug/issue where it leaves the page count at max even when you select âstill readingâ.
Try again 
OK question to everybody: How should the scrolling work if we have two rows? Specifically: What should be displayed in the second row (a) when it is in leftmost position, and (b) when it is scrolled a few items to the right? I cannot come up with an intuitive way of having a sideways scroll in two rows, the only intuitive option I see is scrolling downwards, which might conflict with downward scrolling of the whole page on mobile⊠
On the other hand, previously you had to set the filters every single time, and now they remember what you set last time 
(I know, not an excuse though)
You are not forced to close though! If you have the space you can leave the filter thing open all the time.
We are planning to make the filtering more flexible at some point. Would you want to see these two together in one stream? Or do you prefer to have them as separate options?
But it actually is at 0 percent initially, no? 
I am not sure whether 0 percent would justify a special treatment as itâs just as legitimate a value as, say, 27. Hmmm⊠Iâll see if I can improve this.
This irked me too 
(But now I notice I only changed it on the update dialog, not on the basic info dialog 
Will fix!)
Whoops, I was mixed up. I feel like I encountered something like that somewhere, but guess it wasnât this dialog. 
I do agree with you, I was a bit worried that it being linked to the dropdown would be unclear.
Edit: And now I realize that Iâm talking about reducing side-effects but this is a side-effect tooâŠsigh. 
We discussed this just now and will add the button back shortly. 
honestly donât know⊠was just a suggestion⊠downwards would be the most logical⊠(at least for me)
especially if no videos and then used that space for currently reading, then would make perfect senseâŠ
as far as design layout/mobile⊠no clue⊠was a design consideration/thought, not a demand 
maybe i should make it a demand
h8 the extra clicks (yeah Iâm old and grumpy but i h8 all the xtra clicky crap in general⊠gonna yell at a cloud about it ⊠donât get my started on the morons at microslop changing keyboard shortcuts in ms office that have been the same for 20+ years because someone thinks itâs better⊠then you change them back after having to search to figure out where itâs buried only to have them change back to some new thing again with another $#@$#@ update )
I donât want to leave the filter open⊠(laptop screen) I personally like simple buttons next to each other right now on the existing DBâŠand yes I realize that the entire db design must be centered around my needs and only my needs 
Seriously though really do appreciate all the care and considering going into the user experience for everyone⊠itâs so nice to see natively getting even better!!!
Last night realized there is a lot of room for a button for âIâm Finishedâ here:
Iâm on a laptop so not sure about what that does to your mobile layout but lots of room in that marked red square area on the update page. Could even add a âStopped readingâ button but not sure that would get used enough to warrant a buttonâŠ
realize I didnât answer this oneâŠ
hmm⊠never thought about it this way⊠I click back and forth between them new just because itâs required to see my own vs othersâŠ
I like this plan if these two are together (an option w/o global) ⊠I donât want to see the global feedâŠbut together Iâd probably never switch the filters ever!
This is a nice idea 
Lol same, I like seeing my own updates but they donât show up in the âfollowingâ feed
Iâm able to pinch-zoom without issue on my device (iOS, tried both DuckDuckGo browser and Safari). Can you provide more details on what youâre using?
Just checked on my phone and Iâm unable to pinch-zoom. Android, Chrome.
Android 16, Chrome 147. Thx
Tried Firefox too, same result
I am able to pinch-zoom on iOS. Hmm, I guess Iâm seeing a pattern here
Just to make sure: We are talking about âmake things larger by moving your two fingers apart from each otherâ, right?
Yes. I tested myself as well and canât do it. Android and firefox here.
I just pushed a change that might be a fix for the issue. If somebody with an Android device could please try once more?
Update:
It works for me in the new dashboard, but only there. I canât pinch zoom on any other page (including the old dashboard).
Oh, thatâs great to hear! 
I must confess I only fixed it in the new dashboard 
.
But when it works, then we can extend this to the other parts of the system, I think.
Android Firefox has a toggle under Settings â Accessibility that lets you set âallow pinch zoom even on sites that prevent this gestureâ. I habitually have this set, but as a test I turned it off, and the old dashboard does then no longer let you zoom that way.
Whatever else you allow, I want to be able to just see my own activity. I will occasionally look at the other views, but most of the time I just want to see my activity.
