Kbin Usability Pack

A collection of usability enhancements for Kbin

Time for a new feature update for KUP. This time I’m introducing bookmarking functionality which adds a new bookmark menu to the toolbar where you can save articles for later.

Note that the bookmarks are saved locally on the device and is mainly designed as a way to keep a reading list rather than a permanent storage of articles.

What is this?

This is a collection of hacks, fixes, enhancements and experiments that I have been tinkering with since I’ve joined Kbin, neatly packaged into one behemoth of a userscript.

Updates

0.4.0

Bookmarks

Click on the new bookmark button in the footer underneath each article to save it to your bookmarks.

A new button has been added to the toolbar which brings up a modal with all your stored bookmarks. Click on the checkmark next to the bookmark to remove it.

Compatibility with other scripts

The new bookmarks modal listens to the custom window event “hide-all-modals” for compatibility with other userscripts (like Kbin Subscriptions Panel). Dispatching that event will hide the bookmarks modal if it’s open.

0.4.1

  • Fixed undefined magazine name.

0.4.2

  • Improved bookmarks mobile styling.
  • Moved bookmarks menu button to mobile menu for small devices. Tap the hamburger menu to access it.

0.4.3

  • Bookmarks Mobile tweaks.
  • Bookmarks Resetting settings now also resets bookmarks.

0.4.4

  • Fixed auto preview unnecessarily reloading.
  • Fixed compatibility with new version of Kbin where the KUP style settings panel has been ported to the core project.

0.4.5

Fixed numerous bugs related to recent changes in Kbin

  • Fixed broken bookmarks button
  • *Alt UI Fixed broken boost button

    @Perry I am experiencing a weird issue with KUP. Here’s a screen recording showing it: https://youtu.be/WiOSqIEht1Y

    I don’t exactly know what’s going on other than it’s like lazy loaded images are reloading and sometimes loading, unloading and reloading over and over. Sometimes it’s just like an image reloads making it look like it’s flashing. But on my PC and phone (both with Firefox and Firemonkey and Tampermonkey respectively) it makes Kbin almost unusable because as I scroll down, images will pop out of existence which jumps the posts upwards, losing where I am. To get around it, when I want to tap on an upvote or go to the comments, I have to scroll really carefully so as to not let the image above from unloading.

    I was using KUP v3.6 but even updating to the latest, it still has the same problem. :/

      It seems like it’s triggering a reload every time it’s scrolled into view. Might be related to changes in Kbin lately or it’s just my sloppy code. I’ll try to look into it tomorrow.

      Edit: This should be fixed in 0.4.4
