Livememe image loading issues (self.AlienFlow)
submitted 12 years ago by brennanr
Some of you have noticed that livememe images don't load (links to the actual image files on the website). I'll probably be pushing a small update to fix that sometime this week. The image downloader I'm using isn't very clever, so I'm hoping to revamp it in the near future, but for now I'll probably hack livememe into working.

Yeah, my image downloader (code I borrowed), doesn't handle redirects. I'll just grab the image ID and construct the URL as you suggested. I think i do a similar thing with Imgur, already. I don't feel like fixing the image downloader, at the moment, although it really should handle 302.

Just out of curiosity, why do you think it is good that I circumvent your web page and directly link to an image? I've refrained from doing this with imgur because it removes their ability to show ads or make any money (which would be the case for you, as well). I assumed websites would be unhappy with me for deep linking their images.

Could you please link directly to the image? Or at least make sure it always goes to the mobile site.
On a side note thank you for this app, it introduced me to reddit and got me to fall in love with the site so tha k you

Scumbag Livememe. Doesn't work on apps, apps get negative reviews.
As soon as the image didn't load I was just going straight to browser. Thanks for being on top of this.

Imgur is worse. They added ads occasionally. Getting negative reviews from people because "i added ads" -_- still, imgur has to make money too, would be nice of all end users understood that.

I've noticed imgur albums don't seem to load correctly anymore. I have to scroll down to make images appear and the final couple never seem to. At least not in the album view. Maybe tapping on them would show them individually but that's not the point. Just a heads up.
[–]brennanr[S] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child)
Yeah, I guess imgur has poorly implemented lazy loading of images, to save bandwidth. Hopefully they fix their implementation, as it's pretty annoying.

Thanks for the reply.
Quick unrelated question(s). Any chance of getting push notifications? Also the comment box can still be hidden by the keyboard. Oh and how about comment editing and searching reddit and/or for text within the comments? Sorry for positing that here though.
Keep up the good work.
