Classic14 -
YouTube: tapping like 1px out of the like button, obviously you want to reply to the comment
Facebook: let's just remove the like button altogether, only exposing it to the comment section
DevRant: let's make it possible to double-tap anywhere on the post to upvote it
Only one of them did things the right way 🤨8 -
Me: double taps a rant to upvote.
Popup: Hint. You can double tap a rant to upvote.
Umm, sure. Thanks..3 -
I now understand the double tap feature. It's really useful when your reading devRant while eating.6

I am gonna rage for a bit.
Before I start, know this: I diehard love development, computer science and everythjng surrounding it.
The area comes with a very nice and interesting history and cultural impact. In particular, here as it was in the U.S of A. I love it, I love researching till my eyes beg me to stop and my brain fries. I love reading about history and the silicon knights that madd shit happen through digital wizardry.
And you can only imagine how happy I was when I got my shiny lol B.S in Comp Sci, keep it in my office and errthang.
I
Fucking
Love
My
Field
But. I have noticed something recently. In 2018(obviously before that) this new generation has a knack for making things cringey.
What do I mean by that?
Well, shit like that. Is it necessary? Or what about images(multiple) showing stuff like "double tap for your favorite language!"
Why? Why must we be this way? Why do people find a way to shit all over nice things? Is this shit necessary?
I specially hate pictures of girls showing their legs and right next to them a laptop with some basic af css file --->#codergirl ....fuck off.
Or the trillions of code pictures that are only html or some js framework flavor of the week.
Its just retarded man.

Damn devrant, the double tap to ++ feature has me addicted.
Now I'm double tapping answers on Quora
1. Realize it doesn't work
2. Go to next answer
3. Repeat 😐8 -
Turns out, double tapping the rant too fast will not ++ it, but open it (sometimes twice even).
Not certain if it's a bug or just my shitty touchscreen, but make sure you tap more slowly if you have similar problems.3 -
@dfox Another bug.
Sometimes when i double click on a rant to ++ it, it opens it twice instead (i have to press back twice to get to feed).12 -
Happy 100k ++
P.S: please write longer comments, it's a pain in the ass to double tap short ones and it keeps fucking opening them

New phone, after using double-tap to upvote a rant devRant told me that I can upvote rants by double-tapping. No shit sherlock4
-
Yes devRant, I know I can double tap to upvote a post, no need to show me the tip the one time I decide to click on the ++ instead!1
-
I now feel like a hacker.
Double tap a comment or rant to upvote.
But when you already upvoted, rants will open but comments will do nothing.
Just found out, am I just the one who didn't knew this? Tell me in the comments below!6 -
Sometimes when I am on reddit or fb, I will double tap a post to try to like it. It never works :(3
-
Tried to double tap on a programming joke in the iOS Twitter app... Closed Twitter and opened devRant.4
-
if you are tired, so fucking tired you are not fast enough to double tap a rant.
tap.... *rant opens* fuck! back..
tap... tap *rant opens* *rant opens* what the... back back
tap..tap oh cmon! Not again! back back
tap..tap *++ turns red*
Whohooo im a fucking genius!1 -
Is it just me or its difficult for you people to move the thumb over to the upvote button as well?
Maybe it could be changed to like instagram is. Double tap to upvote :)7 -
That moment when you double tap tweet in Twitter to like it. 🙃
Why can't more apps be like devRant!3 -
On Play Store if you double tap on an image it will zoom out instead of zooming in.
Thanks Google!2 -

Double tap-like is not working properly on my Oneplus 3T while on list view. I'm wondering if it's just me or if it's a bug in the Android app...18 -
One bug that I've been running into...
I'm scrolling through my feed and I double tap a post and instead of ++ it opens the post twice. You hit back, and it just goes back to the same post again.4 -
Had to deactivate my nightfilter to get blinded, had to tap the ++ button more than double tapping, I should be also sleeping, but happy 20k 🎉🎊

@dfox just noticed a bug (or is it a feature?)
If you happen to double tap a rant slow enough that it doesn't +1 it. But fast enough that the rant view isn't opening yet it seems to register two single tap events and opens two views, needing to go back twice do return to the feed.
Not sure if that's important enough to report as a bug. :)
Ps: I'm on a LG G4, android 6.05 -
Just realized, we can double tap on any post here...and it will be added as ++. Like we do in instagram.
How I didn't knew about this from so long.😅1 -
Oh dear people,
Congrats for going nuts @-red -style!
You have hit the cap! @Cup0coffee!
At first I thought I didn't know what to say, but here have a modified citation:
"Friendship is _C_are.
Do you know what I'm saying to you?
Friendship is rare." [2001 - by guess who]

I just did a weird thing... I am used to ++ with a double tap... So, I am on relay for Reddit and like the post and I double tap it expecting an up vote. What have you done to me devRant???
-
GODDAMNIT! I keep on trying to double tap submissions and comments on the Reddit App to upvote them!3

I embrace the removal of the audio jack on smartphones, and I like listening to music via my Bluetooth headset.
Yet why, for fuck's sake, is a double tap on the headset's play button mapped to Call Redial?
I have lost count how often I called someone by mistake. How is such on action a meaningful default? What were they thinking, were they thinking at all?
Everytime I turn on the goddamn headset, I take extra care to ensure that I don't doubletap yet it still often happens by mistake.
I rarely call people anyways on my smartphone anyways.17 -
Feature request: copy text on double tap or hold on Android. Wanted to save a few quotes, but not as a screenshot... Just an idea :)3

So I thought I knew source tree, apparently I do not... Lost a week's worth of work, went to history, saw someone removed it with a commit, and now I'm getting blamed for my own work 'disappearing'. The reason I am being told I am to blame is how I control my branches... So how I do it is that I keep a local copy of the master branch, I keep it updated and monitor it for changes regularly (meaning fetch and pull cause double tap..) before I do a merge, I check for any new code on master again, then using the local copy of master, which I just updated, I pull the master changes into my branch, deal with any conflicts, build and done. Then I request my changes into master once I am happy everything is good.
My question is, clearly there is something wrong with the way I do things, so please source tree users, what is the most fool proof way to pull latest from master so that I don't loose code? 😔12 -
New AltRant release!
Release Notes:
- Transitioned to URLCache-based caching solution for attached images for much faster loading times
- Fixed many layout issues
- Finally added "more info" button in profile screen after 2 years of the feature being absent from the app
- Fixed many different crashes
- Added rant refreshing
- Added double tap to upvote on rants and comments
- Added creation date/time indicators on rants and comments
- Added comment count indicator in post cells in feeds
All users are required to test every aspect of the app.
I worked really hard on all of this to improve every single aspect of this app - from responsiveness to crashes and layout glitches, while also adding many features that were absent for a crazy amount of time! Please enjoy!
The last build will expire in a week from now.4 -
devRant feature request
Double tap to zoom into pictures. Would make it a whole lot easier to just browse with one hand.1 -
Typescript is so fucking frustrating sometimes to deal with
The snippet above AND below do the EXACT SAME FUCKING THING. But because you double tap, it loses the fucking (not needed) type before the mapTo. If you aren't paying attention, you get this extremely fucking aggravating wall of red.
God damn it, can't this be better? RxJS is pretty fucking important, so why is this so god damned hard to just get some coherent fucking code highlighting!?
