How do I quote a part of your comment? Where's the UI element from that?

Same as on reddit: copy and paste it and put a greater-than symbol on the front.

Why are photos cropped,

Beats me, but all you have to do to see the full photo is open the post.

and why are replies to posts and comments are just thrown in the home page parentless?

trp.red works just like Twitter. Twitter does that too, and it works for millions of people.

I need to click on a comment to pull up the whole thread?

Yes. It's that easy.

Why not posts and then tap the post to find the discussion?

Go to forums.red for that interface if that's what you prefer. It's more like reddit. You have options here. Many users stick to forums.red. A few stick to trp.red. A slightly larger few including myself use both. Your complaints seem like you'd enjoy forums.red a lot more than trp.red.

How do I distinguish a comment from a post being replied to in the home page?

99.9% of the time, a reply will have the person being replied to tagged at the beginning, like we've been tagging each other in this thread.

99.9% of the time, a new post won't have anyone tagged at the beginning.

You can also easily open the post in question and easily see whether it's an OP or a reply in a chain.

This isn't rocket science, and if you're too pathetically lazy to open a post, you just aren't going to make it in life.

Where's the upvote button?

At forums.red. Again, it seems to me you'd prefer that interface over this one. Everything you've asked for so far is there.

Why is there a star?

Seriously? Have you never used other social media besides reddit?

It's similar to the "like" on Facebook, and Twitter used to have the same star/favoriteb feature before they went all homogay about 15 years ago and switched to hearts.

Is that a "favorite" or "saved" feature?

Favorite.

Do you favorite your own comment (I noticed you did this previously)?

Yes, a lot of us do that, partly to amuse ourselves and partly because it bugs some people.

you keep tagging him, are you like hoping he hops on the conversation and backs you here or what's the point?

Like I said: he welcomes feedback, and if he has any questions to ask of you, I wanted to give him the chance. I'm not a dev, so I really don't know beyond what I've already asked.

As far as "backs me up", I've been the lone man standing against multiple users in arguments. Users I actually respected, I might add. I didn't need backup then, and I sure as shit don't need backup for this. I don't know if I've been clear on this, but your app is a dumb idea, and you are in no position to consider yourself some kind of RP thought leader to run something like that.

But again, RP is decentralized, and if we couldn't stop all the charlatans on YouTube from using the RP label, we won't be able to stop you.

But like I do with Tater Tot or Flush & Shit, I'll make fun of the bad stuff I happen to see.

I'm assuming it's an age gap.

I'm 46, and you talk like a teenager who has never done any real work (too lazy to open a thread to tell if it's an OP or nested reply?!), so probably.

no one will be able to access the comments on posts and the posts themselves except the OP, BUT they stay on your personal profile, accessible only by you, like you said, to be able to review later.

So if a newbie asks a question that's already been answered, I'd be able to see where I'd previously answered it, but unable to link him to it?

I don't think you realize how frequently the replies in askTRP are "read the sidebar" and/or "use the search feature for keywords because this has been asked and answered several times already".

If every newbie needs an original reply because he can't see the older stuff, that's going to be incredibly tedious for those doing the answering.

not everyone on the app will be TRP,

I get that. I totally understand that, but you chose to use piss-poor examples of morons giving normie BP advice.

the screenshot attached is just an example,

An example I'm assuming was written by you, since your app doesn't actually exist yet and therefore has no other users yet.

If you're trying to demonstrate examples of RP advice, you should write some and screenshot those.

Oh wait, you can't, because despite your assertion that you're "RP to the core", you really haven't digested the material at all. You have newbie enthusiasm, but no actual knowledge.

You have something similar to first post syndrome.

everyone and everything that was in the r/asktrp sub was TRP?

Of course not. Don't be retarded. The ones who weren't were corrected, removed, and otherwise addressed in some way. That's also why users with a history of giving solid RP advice are flaired, so that newbies know that the flaired user has merit.

And if I were to screenshot an example of RP advice, I'd make sure it was actually RP advice such as "you're too hung up on one particular woman" or "don't buy shit for women you aren't already fucking". I'd do my damnedest to exclude anything as bad as what you showed in yours.

And again, since presumably you wrote your examples, your RP knowledge is severely lacking.

If you create this thing and get it going, it's highly likely to be the blind leading the blind.

Best of luck to you.

@Typo-MAGAshiv I never thought about it. My parents always called it a hose pipe. I will see what my kids call it and what my friends call it.

Yeah I suppose there are some safety features that are unhelpful. I had a hydraulic wood splitter like that. It still lives at a relatives house and is nominally mine but it was too controlling a machine to be worth it. It had a double trigger system so you could not load it with one hand and trigger it with the other in case you decided to place your hand under the very slowly moving ram. In fact they had placed the triggers at the opposite end of the machine from the ram, so you had to step to them after loading it. I understand it became a fairly widely accepted feature after a company was sued by someone who decided to chop fingers off doing something odd.

I am not generally a fan of drill being the safety solution. Design is generally a much better solution. I remember the first time I rolled a mini digger and realised how good the roll cage was. I also remember running to get help to pull one without a roll cage off an old guy and seeing a compound fracture for the first time. However this silly design feature on the splitter just meant that you spent twice as long splitting wood and I really couldn't see why any sane man would be advancing the ram unless he had already loaded the log. I worked out that I could split by hand a lot faster than this machine and never used a machine again.

Then again drill has its place. Chainsaw trousers are a bugbear of mine. They are legally mandated for all professional users where I am from. Never wear them. I have worn out over a dozen well cared for top model professional chainsaws over the years. The most I ever did was nick a boot. They are an expensive way to lose pints of sweat, which might of course lead to bad decision making... For most cases of active long duration chainsaw use by men with a few hundred hours experience I can't see chainsaw trousers being as safe as drill outside of the dead of winter.

@cuztrpp

You think this UI rocks? It's as basic as it could get

Yes. Basic is good. It's intuitive and easy to navigate.

As for the people who've said it's not good, none of them have ever been able to describe what they find bad and how they would fix it. None.

Let's see if you're the exception!

*reads through your reply again**

Nope! Just "I don't like it".

Again, @redpillschool is open to suggestions. God knows I've made a few, and I was loud and clear when a change was made that I didn't like (thread), and he addressed this by making the OG feed.

[reddit having more traffic]

It's because most users are lazy and don't want to migrate. You'll hit the same issue if you even get yours going.

posts disappear every 24 hours, so your advice will be heard and seen in the moment and then expires forever,

Strong dislike from me and many others who want to be able to refer to things later.

For my part, one of the many reasons I don't participate at askTRP all that much is because of how repetitive the questions are. Being able to refer to previous posts and discussions that address the same old questions makes it easier.

Having posts and conversations disappear after 24 hours will be a no from me, dawg. Zero interest.

And judging by how I'm the only one replying to you so far, everyone else is even less interested than I am.

I'm TRP to the fucking core

Then why was the advice in your demo screenshot so blue pill?

Buying women drinks is one of the first things PUA taught guys to stop doing even before RP existed, and RP has been echoing that same advice. Don't simp, and that includes buying a woman something just to get her attention.

"Not the one" see my previous reply. Year one Rollo. There is no "One".

Anyway, you're determined to do this, so best of luck to you. Red Pill by its very nature is decentralized, so just like we couldn't stop all the charlatans on YouTube, no one can stop you from doing this.

Good luck.

@Typo-MAGAshiv I definitely am no expert but its pretty simple and not as much of a skill as welding. I still get nervous when I solder a joint in a copper water pipe. Am I going to get a leak and ruin the house? None so far but I have heard horror stories of men who have caused huge amounts of damage jointing pipes badly and getting a slow leak they don't notice for months.

Flux is your friend if there is any risk of oxidisation.

You can get coper pipe joints with the solder already in them, which makes it much easier.

On that subject, I bought such a cool new blow torch the other day. Well well worth the investment. Looks a lot safer than the old one. It didn't end well with the old one. One of those stories you recount because its amusing but it is a bit embarrassing. The old one was very old and had overheated in the past. The plastic base that sealed with the gas cylinder was all melted. Seal still looked OK ish. I really should have chucked it. I meant to but I never got round to buying a replacement, so I never threw the original, in case i needed it unexpectedly. A couple of weeks ago, I was heating a pipe to melt air holes in a plastic box for my daughter to transport her ferret in (yeah not an urgent thing, so should have bought the new one first). Suddenly the torch sprang a leak and went up in a fireball of butane gas.

I was stood between the garage where I have about 100 gallons of fuel stored and my truck. My first thought probably should have been "Run and throw this somewhere safe" but was I was wearing gloves and I thought "Turn this thing off and stop the drama" That didn't go well as I fumbled to turn the valve in the gloves. As I felt my arm burn, I threw the thing away from the garage but it wasn't a good throw and it went under the truck in a surprisingly impressive flaring fireball. Happily the truck is armoured underneath for off road use so that bought me a little time. I ran to get the hosepipe. I just wanted to stop the butane cylinder overheating. "Can I help Daddy" "Not now love". Hosepipe worked well fortunately.

The new torch has a trigger. When you stop pulling it the flame dies and it makes a satisfying pop sound. Much safer. Good safe tools are so satisfying.

@cuztrpp

here I need to struggle with the shitty UI/UX

I think the UI here fucking rocks. My only complaint about the forums.red interface is that the sidebars for each forum are not actually on the side, but rather in a dropdown menu that not many users notice.

Just about everything else at forums.red operates exactly like reddit.

What exactly would you suggest to improve it? Site owner @redpillschool is always open to suggestions and feedback.

As far as bothering with developing an app, read some of what RPS said about it in the past. The Apple Store and Google Play are likely to remove anything that's actually Red Pill.

Links to a few previous posts from RPS about this I found using the site's kickass search feature:
