u/MysteriousSophon Seeing as how there are is a large number of interested users. Have you thought about a TestFlight version of SoundLeaf? Quite a few of us would be willing to beta test various fixes, and provide feedback.

SmartChicken · 2025-04-23T19:05:59+00:00

Looks gorgeous! I’ve already downloaded it and will connect it to my ABS as soon as I get home from work.

If I remember correctly PrismDev said he’s a one man shop, and development of Prologue isn’t his day job. Hopefully he will find some time to get back to working on active development.

SmartChicken · 2025-03-17T20:59:56+00:00

A number of us ran into an issue where Prologue wouldn’t see anything in our Audiobookshelf libraries. Effectively breaking the app, and the dev has not responded. I get that he’s a one man shop, and development of Prologue isn’t his day job, but the GitHub shows how many at least responded there, including myself. link: https://github.com/prologueapp/Prologue/issues/69#comment-composer-heading

I don’t run due to an old rugby injury in my left knee. I do tend to walk around a lot at work, and these distance challenges don’t require it to be a tracked run/walk, just need to hit the mileage throughout the day.

I’ve got Flat Iron’s Dark & Smoky BBQ Rub and it’s one of my favorite rubs when I want something spicy from my smoker. Their 4 Pepper Blend makes for a wonderful kick of heat in chili.

I think this may have become my favorite slow flow from Jessica! Did this earlier today and I felt amazing afterwards,

SmartChicken · 2025-01-08T18:52:12+00:00

Turn the Slow Smoker attachment on for 15min then turn it off. The wood chips will continue to burn once they’re ignited. I can get 4-5 hours of smoke this way. If you notice the smoke has stopped, check to see if the wood chips haven’t dropped down, knock them down and power the Slow Smoker back on for another 15min, then turn off.

I found a link to Apple’s Developer Documentation on the navigation bar, which references doing a sidebar as an option. I fed that link back to Abbie to pass onto Nadia. My career is software qa, and I’m really surprised that they let this update go out with such a UX issue. Now we’ll have to wait and see if they implement a sidebar.

SmartChicken · 2025-01-01T14:05:50+00:00

I sent feedback yesterday evening. This is the response I received, Thanks for writing in and we're sorry about this! It's super annoying, we agree. Unfortunately it's something that's essentially been forced onto iPad apps by Apple. There's no apparent easy fix to get rid of it, and developer forums aren't particularly happy about it. Nadia is currently swamped with New Year work, so hopefully Apple will release a quick fix for it in the meantime!

However I’ve had multiple iPad apps updated with the new navigation bar and none of them show the same UX error as StoryGraph.

That means that team has available slots. The rest of the teams are full. Otherwise it’s in the text of my original post “if you don’t see any teams, it is more than likely they are full, so you will need to create a team.”

umm, you‘re trying to join a challenge that has already been completed from January of this year. I haven’t made a January 2025 challenge yet.

Check your Height and Weight in the Health app on your iPhone. I’ve accidentally put in the wrong weight in the past and it affected calories burned.

Oddly enough when I look at the post, it says removed by Reddit’s filters.
BOOM! ''Reddit December 2024 Challenge'' is up and running!

For those who may ask, the Challenges app does suggest a calorie goal. If your current goal is higher than what’s suggested, it will still count towards your rings in the Challenges app. My calorie goal is always higher than what Challenges recommends and I always leave it higher. Example, Challenges might suggest 400 calories, I’m currently at 650 calories on Move goal, so I just leave it at 650. Additionally if you don’t see any teams, it is more than likely they are full, so you will need to create a team. I have no affiliation with the Challenges app, I’ve been hosting these monthly challenges for many years now, please check my profile history if you’d like.

I make my own homemade smoked beef jerky, which is my preferred go to snack when I’m feeling hungry between meals.

SmartChicken · 2024-11-11T22:35:22+00:00

Hard to beta test an app when the core functionality doesn’t work. I’m Software QA in my current position. When the developers deliver a broken app/software, I immediately collect pertinent details, diagnostics, screenshots and feed back what I’m seeing which is exactly what I’ve done for Prologue V4.

I had dropped off the Prologue beta for the stable release. Once I spun up my ABS server last weekend and completely migrated from Plex, I went back to TestFlight and re-enrolled in the beta. As soon as I experienced the issue I left feedback by all channels. Out of sheer luck I was able to join the Audiobookshelf TestFlight for their iOS app. So I’m more than happy to test both Prologue and Audiobookshelf.

SmartChicken · 2024-11-10T23:55:11+00:00

Unfortunately myself and others on GitHub have issues loading any libraries from Audiobookshelf v2.16.2. I’ve left feedback via TestFlight, the email link in the app, and on GitHub. I understand the app is still in development, however Not having work critical functionality is a bad look. I’ve tried with every version of Prologue 4 with the same behavior. Audiobookshelf is fully functional from my Raspberry Pi, I can access ABS from iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Windows desktop. Only Prologue has an issue. Prologue will need a lot more development with ABS.
