RoutineHub - bug-reports

Found something of a bug... Long story short, if you create a RoutineHub link and then don't upload right away, the shortcut will never show up on Newest Shortcuts. I assume this is based off the algorithm used for numbers that are issued, but it means if you create that link during pre-production for use with UpdateKit/RoutinePub then it will not be available on the newest list.

isn't it unpublished when you make a routinehub link without uploading?

Yes

18:04

Making it not show up when you submit the first version

so when you publish it it never appears on newest

Correct

Yup. That’s a bug. Thanks @Timber I’ll look into it

1

Not sure if this was always this way, but just scrolled down on mobile to the bottom of the page and it looks reallllly weird aligned right.

I reorganized the menu because it had a lot of items. You're right though, on mobile it doesn't look great. I'll take a look at that. Thanks @Timber !

Hey I updated a lot of my shortcuts just now and they all say no image now (the ones I updated)

22:05

@Harley Hicks

Ok. Leave them for a second please. I've been trying to solve this bug for a week, but haven't been able to replicate it.

Ok

Weird. I'm seeing them just fine.

Same

Huh

22:07

So you can see mine or yours?

Yours

Yeah, I'm seeing the same @Timber

Huh

Try a hard refresh - "Ctrl-Shift-R"

22:07

oh, you're on phone

Welp

22:08

Ok

22:08

Then it's just me

22:08

Wait

can't you tap and hold the refresh on ios

I just swiped up on app and went back in

22:08

It works now lol

@ᵖᶠᵍ (ScPL) possibly!

22:09

@Deleted User So if you upload it and Apple's servers are being bombarded, sometimes the image won't come through. I have a script that runs every five minutes that tries to retrieve missing images. Maybe my script caught yours?

Yeah idk

Ok. If it happens again, definitely let me know! I've had a few reports where the image doesn't load even after several hours.

Ight no problem

Thanks!

@Harley Hicks When creating a new shortcut upload... If you do not select a category and try to submit it without one selected, it simply fails but without any warning that says "select a category".

@Timber What browser are you using?

17:40

Tested in Firefox, Chrome and IE, and seems to work fine.

Safari

17:40

dammmmmmit

17:40

lol.

You're welcome ❤

2

I found a bug where if you search for something and click page 2 it goes to 404

Woah. Cool. I'll look into that one. Thanks @spencer

18:26

I have lots of bugs to fix this week

@spencer The search paginator is now fixed and doesn't 404

@Timber The footer menu is now looking better on mobile.

I'll take a look

16:27

Much better

16:31

"10% better" LOL

16:32

By the way, @Harley Hicks do you prefer if we submit bug and feature reports here, or through the system on RH? Or does it matter?

@Timber I'm fine with it either way right now. It all goes into an issue system on my end.

Ok

@Harley Hicks

Where are you seeing that, @VanishingTacos ?

@Harley Hicks in the preview for the markdown, html can be entered

09:15

https://i.imgur.com/bdnWlZN.png

09:16

that doesn't stay when it is saved, just the preview (edited)

Yeah, I have a heavy duty parser that removes that kind of stuff.

Yeah it get it to work in the preview box.

it doesn't work when you save the preview though so it doesn't really matter

Yeah there’s different HTML that works in the preview and what actually saves is different.

does the same thing

html just doesn't work in the real thing

Some does

09:30

But not all

Its not full fledged html. (edited)

Next time a possible vulnerability like this is found, please message me privately with details. This is not considered Cross-Site Scripting as it only affects the HTML you are currently looking at, unlike the definition (emphasis my own):

"Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in web applications. XSS enables attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users"

Essentially you're doing the same as if I opened up Chrome dev tools and change the CSS and added background-color: red; to the body tag. It's only visually affecting your display of the data, and doesn't affect any of the data in the database. The description field for Shortcuts takes Markdown. It's configured in a way that all tags are blacklisted unless I manually whitelist them. That locks things down and keeps data secure. That means when something that's not whitelisted (like a <script> tag) is saved in the description field, it is filtered out and not saved to the database. The data is saved as Markdown in the database and then rendered to HTML on display. As @Timber noted, some HTML works, and the HTML that works are what the whitelisted Markdown tags are rendered to, and are therefore seen as safe to store. I take security very seriously, and I appreciate everyone testing this to see if anything gets through. Don't mistake this message as an angry message, but do please be careful how you word things. Last thing I need is a riot on Twitter about "the terrible security of RoutineHub" based on one image. That being said, if you do find something, please let me know privately so I can resolve it. After it's resolved, I am perfectly happy publishing details publicly and giving you recognition for finding the issue. Thanks loves! (edited)

I did make sure javascript urls also fail, don't think there's an actual xss problem

@Harley Hicks This is why I didn’t give any details on how I got the pop up. I don’t even know how to privately send messages on here. I do apologize though.

@VanishingTacos No problem man! Just click my avatar, and type in a message, it will start a private conversation. Like I said, I'm not angry in any way, I just got a little freaked thinking there was an issue, and dreading it finding it's way to social media.

The full description preview renders markdown tables but they aren't rendered on the shortcut page https://i.imgur.com/tsKYGPG.png https://i.imgur.com/m1p7lR1.png

20:38

also the same with ``` code blocks

20:38

also the same with four space code blocks

20:40

https://i.imgur.com/4woVRfs.png https://i.imgur.com/aibrPnx.png

20:40

multiline code blocks just don't render properly

also <table> <td> <tr> elements don't work on the output but do in the preview

@ᵖᶠᵍ (ScPL), all great notes. Thanks!

@ᵖᶠᵍ (ScPL) Code blocks and tables are now supported in Descriptions!

ooh

Yoooooo

10:23

I gotta learn how to do that -____-

10:23

Because that shit looks cool

fixed my tables

10:24

|table|headers| |-----|-----| |table|contents|

10:24

@Timber

Nice, okay, I gotta play with that

@ᵖᶠᵍ (ScPL) your tables look fabulous!

10:35

And that table is so funny. Makes me crack up each time I read it.

got the idea from a project I have on github

10:35

I think I was thinking about check marks and xs so I put a table

1

the preview window is spilling https://i.imgur.com/fL08Gr8.png

I will check that one out! Thanks!

@Harley Hicks i probably should have mentioned that a while back. the routinepub one overflows like crazy haha

Minor bug, but “My Account” at the bottom should probably link to Settings not to the user page. I clicked on it trying to get to settings and was a little surprised by that.

I actually reported that overflow a few weeks ago via the support page

‍♂️

@VanishingTacos yes you did! And in my list it has your name on it. I believe that was last week and I was unfortunately not able to work on RH at all then. I’ll hopefully have this fixed shortly.

13:30

@Timber that makes sense! I’ll adjust that.

1

I was wondering if you actually got it. That was before I even knew how to use discord or else I would have said something here. Lmao

@VanishingTacos Yup! Sure did!

14:12

It's now fixed!

Well I’ll be damned. Looks so much better!

Yes it does

14:14

And I think you were the one who sent me a message about being able to resize the description text area, but I fixed that too

Oh I think you’re right. I showed the overflow too. (I think)

I believe so!

Oh good

Was that the same issue that you couldn’t reproduce because you didn’t have Safari installed @Harley

@Timber I don't think so, but I might be wrong.

14:29

And for some reason searching isn't bringing it up...

Heh it’s OK no biggie

Well no I can't remember what the issue was, or if I have it marked down on my list... Well, I guess if you notice it again, let me know.

How about this ugly bug?

Lol

14:38

Better than it was!

It was worse?

#YourWelcome ;P

14:39

Lol was right aligned

14:39

Accidentally

It’s probably the biggest footer that I have seen on a site before.

Lol it’s not that bad trust mine

14:41

Me*

14:41

I have seen much much worse

@VanishingTacos I've seen worse, but if you have suggestions, please let me know!

What framework is that built on? Bootstrap?

Bulma (edited)

Ohh never heard of it before.

It's fairly new, not quite 1.0 yet. I love it. I've used it for a few projects and enjoy using it way more than Bootstrap.

long footers are fine as long as they're not sticky

1

They are a necessary evil in my book. I haven’t met a mobile footer I liked.

The footer doesn't seem to go to the bottom of the page if the page is shorter than your browser window height https://i.imgur.com/Ht5pSqF.png

08:08

here too https://i.imgur.com/O9HKJDl.png

Yeah, that's the one thing about footers I hate. I'll try and get to that today.

@ᵖᶠᵍ (ScPL) footer now looks better!

nice

I actually see nothing different with the footer now than yesterday but OK!

You can probably see it best on your user page

12:56

Previously the footer would have white space under it, now it’s at the bottom

^^

Oh huh ok (edited)

Comment chains get pretty squished on mobile.

Can you send me a page that has this problem that I can test with?

https://routinehub.co/shortcut/476

RoutineHub - SSH Tools

Control your Mac via SSH commands

Oh when comment chains go too far

Yeahh

I figured that would happen at some point. I'll look at some ways to mitigate that.

Thanks

Oh also often content goes off the sides of the page like the api key on mobile

I fixed the api key issue yesterday!

15:22

I also added a copy button like on the RoutinePub page to make it a bit easier.

15:23

If you happen to see other issues like, please screenshot it for me so I can take a look.

the last column of tables can go out of bounds

16:51

like my test shortcut https://routinehub.co/shortcut/768

RoutineHub - Test

FOR TESTING ONLY DO NOT USE

16:52

I’ll take a look at that. Thanks @ᵖᶠᵍ (ScPL) !

FYI, after your latest release I am getting Follow Notifications even though it's been unchecked:

19:28

19:29

No email though

Oh weird. I'll have to check that out. Thanks @Timber

In the meantime ill follow everyone on RoutineHub just to bloat up your inbox

1

19:30

jk lol

Lmao

19:30

Also I just realized you could follow people I'm a dumbass

It's only been out for a bit.

~~~~strikethrough~~~~ works in the preview but not on the shortcut page (edited)

I’ll take a look at that. Thanks!

@ᵖᶠᵍ (ScPL) It seems the John Gruber spec doesn't include strikethrough, and neither does the markdown processor I use. I can make a custom extension for it to add it in. I'll put it on my list, but it's not a huge priority right now.

@ᵖᶠᵍ (ScPL) @Harley Hicks you can use <s>text</s>

Yes, and <del>text</del> (edited)

21:28

but ~~text~~ doesn't currently work

<del> doesn't seem to work https://routinehub.co/shortcut/263

RoutineHub - Fortnite BR Cosmetic Shop with Reddit Thread

Provides image of the current item shop and link to the Reddit thread.

21:44

<s> doesn't either

<s> works.. I just tried it

works in preview but not the actual thing for me

@spencer you got a capital closing “S”

no?

Oh nvm oops

Ah. Sorry I was testing locally and had added it to whitelist. I’ll add those tomorrow.

Thanks!

Appears that you can mark as unread for notifications very easily... Maybe a menu dropdown for mark as unread would be better.

Sure. I'll review this a bit and see how I can make this a bit more intuitive. (edited)

I should definitely get a super bug report credit for reporting a bug to the bug report log ;P

22:23

Just saying

@Harley Hicks

bug reporter badge

YUSSS

22:23

lol

22:24

Lol, links too

What in the world

An open ended strikethrough

I must know how this happened after it gets patched

‍♂️

05:17

I will fix this shortly

He wrong “<s> tab now supported” and the <s> became an opening strike through tag which never got closed so it just applied to everything below that point.

Fixed.

07:10

Sorry. I had friends in from out of town last night, and I just got on my computer.

07:12

So yeah, I added support for the <del> and <s> tags for the Description field. When I added that in the change it actually interpreted the tags and couldn't find a closing one. Whoops.

No worries! #ProBugSquasher

1

The ratings seem different from when on the home page & on the actual shortcut.

10:15

Yup! That's a mistake. I'll fix that right now. Thanks @Brendan 🦿

10:47

Fixed!

if you have a long code block, the preview will expand to take up more space

10:54

@ᵖᶠᵍ (ScPL) Correct. That's been reported. Trying to figure out the best solution for this atm. CSS hyphens: auto sucks.

overflow:hidden not sure

I might just do overflow-y: auto

oh that would work

I just don't like scrollbars either.

11:07

lol

put it inside the code block, that's now lots of other pages deal with long code blocks

11:07

given that breaking them at points can mess up their content

ah. there's the answer.

11:08

Thanks @ᵖᶠᵍ (ScPL)

@ᵖᶠᵍ (ScPL) and @Timber I've fixed the resizing issues with the preview window.

Awesome!

12:11

Thanks!

Comments line breaks are not present when you write feedback on a shortcut

Good catch @Brendan 🦿. I’ll fix this today or tomorrow

Alright. Thanks

do ratings need to be rounded to 3 decimals?

18:37

not really a bug but it looks strange

I've noticed that too... It is a bit odd.

yes?

It should be formatted to 2 decimals. lol

Hey Harley, a couple things about the markdown editor for the main shortcut description: If certain characters are used (Unicode characters that aren’t typed using &###; but instead just pasted in) it’ll look fine in the preview page but when submitting and all the stripping of not supported html happens, when it reaches that character it’ll simply delete it and everything that was typed afterwards. Luckily I always copied my text to clipboard before submitting but it would have sucked if I hadn’t. Additionally, It seems like a very limited amount of basic html commands are supported and not stripped away, however there’s no way of knowing ahead of time what works and what doesn’t - I’d love it if one could specify an image’s dimensions for example.

I’ll take a look at the Unicode situation. I’m not planning on supporting any HTML above and beyond what is supported in Markdown. The HTML you mention that is supported is only because it’s what’s whitelisted html after markdown compilation. Hopefully that makes sense @Balthamos !

Yep makes total sense - I just wish markdown had any support for setting an image’s dimensions =\ Markdown’s documentation on daring fireball actually brings this up but says if you need to change your image’s dimensions to do so with inline html

Understandable. I’ll keep that in mind

22:35

If you need more specifics to trigger the Unicode symbol issue let me know - as a quick example, when I would type in ₿

, the ₿ is the last character to be saved, everything typed after it gets deleted when you click Submit. Once I replaced that text with ₿𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕪 I no longer had any issues.

WHY ARENT THOSE NOTIFICATIONS GOING AWAY

Cause you need to click them? You can click them anywhere including on the yellow section.

08:39

I am going to be adding a "read all" button at some point that will help.

It should probably clear after looking at the notifications page in my opinion @Harley Hicks

https://routinehub.co/shortcut/1221 has a comment that goes past the page width on mobile

RoutineHub - OutputKit Build

For getting the latest tags, copying them and html templates to your project

Very interesting...

I think it's because of the link. It seems to happen with some of my shortcut descriptions

I believe you’re right. I might have to shorten links then.

@Harley Hicks minor nitpick: you’re still living in 2018

come one @haykam it's only been 9 days... let him catch up to the present! LOL

getting the current year isn’t that hard!

tell that to the check writters!

20:55

<s>2018</s> 2019

20:55

damn it! I was hoping that would do a strickout! LOL

~~2018~~ 2019

2

thanks! what was the code for that?

well, you gotta set innerHTML, not innerText!

yeah, as much as i pretend to know this stuff... way over my head! LOL

~~like this~~

ah! thanks man!

(edited)

@haykam oh noes! That was a placeholder I meant to change out. Thanks for the heads up, I’ll get that fixed.

The stats doesn’t seem to be updated with the new unique download count update (All-in-One Utilities already reverted to 8000 downloads, but the total download count still says I have 19334 downloads total)

@RyanC Oh yeah, I need to fix that. One problem is that crunching the numbers on unique downloads for each day for the past 30 days can sometimes take too long and kill the page. I'm looking into caching these numbers a bit so that load times are better.

you might want to disable unique downloads until caching is implemented, it's really slowing down loading pages

1

Yeah I’ve noticed this as well. It takes a very long time to load

Agreed. It takes to long to load it

I will be disabling download counts for listing pages for the time being until I figure out a solution. Sorry everyone!

Actually, I finally come up with a better idea for caching distinct download counts.

11:07

I've brought the load time down considerably. Let me know what you think.

I haven’t tried on WiFi yet.. I’ll let you know soon

I can’t push updates to RoutineHub through RoutinePub... any reason why?

what is the error?

It was an “unknown response to RoutineHub.. please try again later”

12:00

Let me try again and I’ll send the screenshot

12:01

you can try my publishing shortcut, it will say what the error is

“Publish Update”?

yeah

Ok let me try that

here's a link to it https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/429b4bdac4aa44a1a90cb2e589f5a918 if you don't already have it

hmm

12:03

strange error

12:04

looks like a routinehub bug

yeah.. manually doing it has the same error

interesting. @ᵖᶠᵍ (ScPL) during what api call does that seem to happen?

I think that's /shortcuts/id/versions/create

Also happening here

what does it do on the website?

That's what I'm looking into.

It also happens in the website (edited)

Ah. I know what's going on. Fix incoming.

12:14

Alright. Give it a try there.

Not working yet

Try now. Had been testing something.

It worked now

Awesome. Good to hear.

12:28

Sorry about that folks.

Strange, now I have this error at website homescreen

Oh c'mon. lol.

12:42

That should be fixed now.

It’s working perfectly for me

Is the home page working any faster for you guys?

Yep

good.

i’m happy people still use RP

it's pretty much the only publishing shortcut

yeah

agreed!

haha yeah i guess that's true but it's just nice to know it's still something people care about

It makes things so much easier

thats true. Copying and pasting everything is gonna be a hassle

The homepage loads but New Shortcuts and Recently Added aren’t updating

@tdevx They seem to be updating for me. Maybe there just haven't been new shortcuts recently?

They work OK here as well

Hey @Deleted User, please stop posting this in each channel. It's becoming spammy, especially when it's not in a relevant channel. I am deleting this one as it doesn't belong here.

@Harley Hicks ok?

This channel is for site bug reports. Your post was unrelated.

Ok

Thanks for understanding.

Yeah

Rogue Siri had 1000 downloads. What happened?

Count reflects unique downloads now instead of total. Prevents cheating.

12:39

That went into effect a few weeks back.

Ah ok

For some reason the Shortcuts icon isn’t being shown

Lol I saw that

hmm.

Sometimes it takes a while to show the icon when you upload/update a shortcut Wait some minutes and everything will be normal

Okay

Yeah, This usually happens if Apple servers don't respond in time and I get an error when trying to retrieve the image.

I actually did update it a few minutes ago

12:59

Got it

It‘s not really a bug, but not everybody is using shortened links.

And this is what happens on mobile when sharing a loooong link:

Yeah, I know about that one. Need to figure out the best thing for that.

15:45

Thanks @ROP 🌈 !

Ah, okay, I didn't know that was already on your list. I'm currently just having the comments deleted if that happens under my Shortcuts.

You’re more than welcome!

Is that about the comments, left for me?

Well, I used one of your Shortcut pages as an example, cause it’s the largest link I’ve actually seen on RoutineHub.

Yep no chance of reading it either@

maybe each comment could have a overflow:scroll on it so it's the comment that scrolls instead of the page

That’s the easy option, but I loathe random scroll boxes. It might be a good shim for the time being though.

it's better than scrolling off the page, but it seems no one has figured out a good solution to this

17:19

way too many big websites have problems with content going off the edge

17:19

actually

17:19

word-wrap: break-word

17:20

will just cut up the url in the middle, not great but better than a scroll

Yeah. A lot of sites replace links with max 15 character links with a trailing ellipsis.

Wouldn’t overflow-wrap fix this?

In my experience in can cause some weird formatting sometimes.

Okay, too bad. And what if you would only use it for links? Therefore an URL in the comment area would have to be automatically converted into a clickable link. Or am I talking nonsense?

It’s possible, but the RegEx needed is a bit crumby

17:47

Cumbersome*

Ok, then I just hope that someday a solution will be found. (I only use shortened links anyway ;)) Thanks for listening.

Markdown support in comments could fix that Use click here and it would be just "click here"

also https://www.google.com/ is markdown for a link (edited)

Sorry, but I didn't understand what you were trying to say

if markdown support is added, you don't even need to put the [](), you can just put the link directly

Oh, I didn't know that

The biggest issue is that it doesn't solve the fact that if someone wanted to, they could put a long string of letters and make someone's page look crappy.

If the authors of the Shortcut could be given the right to delete someone else’s feedback then after they fixed the problem they should be able to delete that ones feedback

07:18

It would help clear it up

Interesting concept, but I'm not sure how that would be accomplished and checked. That could allow a malicious author to delete valid concerns.

07:40

I think responding to say an issue has been fixed and also putting in your change notes should be sufficient.

How about the Author being able to instead of delete it, to resolve it and the person who wrote the feedback should get a notification to check it and if he feels that it was fixed he should delete it.

07:42

And it would say that in the notification

I still think responding to it with an explanation should be sufficient.

The time reading for me on RoutineHub is not what it currently is. I updated a Shortcut at around 6 pm but it’s showing that I updated it at 11 pm

@AShortcuts have you set your time zone in your settings?

if you want to make it not rely on a set timezone, you can send a utc time too and have javascript replace all of them

22:05

not sure how needed that is, timezone works fine

It doesn’t seem right mmm...

02:17

I can’t send a video on here

02:17

Mmm hold on

02:22

Never mind I can’t make my own shortcuts I totally forgot

Hmm is “collections” suppose to be here?

Nope

05:02

It’s not completely done yet. Whoops

Ah okay

@Brendan 🦿 Fixed. Thanks for reporting

07:12

?

Just about to send that

07:14

There we go

07:17

Nevermind.. it worked for a second

Yes, we're having some database issues. Trying to figure out with the host about what's going on. I haven't totally migrated us over to the new host yet.

Are you supposed to be able to do this

If you scroll down, it's probably a long comment.
