New posts randomly are not "saved" / does not appear anywhere

[kristapsk]

Not sure how to reproduce or debug this. But happened longer time ago with a reply (tried replying there at least twice), once some two days ago with a simple new post and today again when I replied to post. After pressing "Post" Damus acts like everything is ok, but it does not appear anywhere.

Using version 1.1.0 from App Store.

I'm afraid you might have to wait to get the Testflight version 1.2.0 (5). Draft notes seems to work ok for me there.

@kristapsk how is this working for you now?

[kristapsk]

@alltheseas Don't have TestFlight access to Damus, will need to wait for the next App Store release to test.

[kristapsk]

But I haven't noticed posts not being saved, apart from reposts, recently.

AppStore now has latest version 1.4.2 (2)

[kristapsk]

Yes, I'm running it currently, see #841 (comment).

[kristapsk]

Randomly having these problems again, all cases where either when replying or reposting with comment ("quote"). Version 1.5.

I think I noticed one pattern - I try to post, it doesn't appear. When I navigate to my profile, to check, it's empty. I decide app has in bad state and close it and restart. But if I instead just keep it open longer, sometimes for minute, sometimes for ten, then eventually it is posted. But there is no feedback about that, it just appears in feed at some point.

Internally we have a "Postbox" that continuously attempts to send a post until it gets a success response. If it keeps failing for whatever reason you may not see it in your feed until it is posted. It would be nice if we had an pending "outbox" view but this is pretty niche.

Today I'm noticing such problems again, but there is another thing - Damus has problems connecting to wss://relay.damus.io (other relays work).

It's a separate issue #1613

Yeah, but it should not cause this, Damus should be working well even without Damus relay configured, right?

[alltheseas]

it should not cause this

Can you specify what "this" behavior you observe? Can you remind me your iOS, and Damus versions?

Correct.

[kristapsk]

Just randomly posts I wrote aren't saved / broadcast, they just not appear anywhere.

iOS 15.7.9 (I have iPhone 7, so no iOS 16+ for me) and Damus 1.5 (8) (should be latest App Store version).

[alltheseas]

should be latest App Store version

Let's test again when 1.6 AppStore version comes out 🙏

@kristapsk are you still experiencing this issue?

Might a design/UI affordance that signifies "pending" notes help with this issue, which centers around lack of feedback on hitting the post button?

As mentioned above, I have iPhone 7 with iOS 15, so I'm stuck with old Damus version, can't upgrade and test anything.

Will revisit upon iOS 15 nav implementation #1929
