New Clear Launch MegaThread

Not a bug, mine on 80%

Yeah it was me being dumb as suspected!
I was dropping lists into archive instead of swiping to archive (which I’d forgotten was a thing)

For Archivist? Dropping in should count too. Maybe try the drop method tomorrow and let me know if it doesn’t increment. (I just tested here and I THINK it incremented but now I’m second guessing myself.)

Thank you for this! :pray:

I’ve tried to tap the invisible back button but it doesn’t work in any other app that isn’t Clear.

Just wanted to make a like hearted joke about how addictively useful Clear’s gestures are.

When I get a reminder banner, tapping on it opens Clear momentarily but doesn’t take me to the item that’s being reminded. I think it did in old Clear - please can you include in the new version?

Dropping a list into the archive did not advance the reward progress when I tried again this morning.

@phillryu I want to buy the Plamo theme. Please put it in store today.

The invisible back button has been awesome. Mirroring @clappingcactus, and in all seriousness I find myself tapping for it in Safari and other apps.

I heartily agree with many others. I LOVE the invisible back button. It is SO much better than going to the top of the list and dragging down.

@phillryu I have a request… once we swipe an item and it is struck-through and goes to the bottom of the list, when you swipe up, all the Strike-through items are deleted… that’s a great feature. BUT, I’ve done it by accident and lost my struck-through list which I actually wanted! For reference, it was a list of things I had ordered and had sent to a friends house. I swiped each item when it showed delivered, then when I actually get to my friend’s house and go through the boxes, I actually swipe left to delete.

That happened with one very large list, I was very sad! Could we have an ā€œUndoā€ button that lasts a few seconds just in case it was an accident??

If this just happened you should be able to shake to undo/bring it back. (Shake to undo is hooked up to deleting items, lists, or clearing away items right now.)

Hmm I wouldn’t want it popping up every time you pull to clear but I am definitely thinking about how we want to improve this, like maybe a ā€œRecently Clearedā€ list in the Archive.

And lol ā€œI love the invisible back buttonā€ I am glad. Last minute I was seriously concerned we were going out on one limb too far with that one, and decided to name it the invisible back button just so people are at least aware, we are also aware, this is a bit ridiculous. Also added the Blindfolded reward last minute to try to frame it more positively too haha, like a reward for going out on this initial limb for us.

It actively violates a couple ā€˜UI laws’ and requires careful teaching but… the positive tradeoffs are real! And there is some conceptual grounding in it slipstreaming behind the iOS gesture bar your thumb already reaches for to exit apps.

It should at least open into the list the item is in. (If not let me know, that is a bug.) There’s probably more we can improve from there.

Regarding the invisible back button, my only complaint is that other apps don’t use it! :joy: At least once a day, I will be in another app and try to do it reflexively. It really is a great gesture and makes use of something I otherwise don’t need (that bottom, floating bar, I don’t know the proper name for it) because I’ve been using a home-button-less phone for over six years at this point.

If I’ve got Clear open, I don’t think it’s a problem, but if it’s not open then clicking on the reminder banner opens and instantly closes Clear.

Oh I see, do you regularly force quit apps? Sounds like a bug to add to our list.

I do ā€˜tidy up’ by force quitting apps (though I’ve just googled it and apparently this isn’t best practice lol)

No judging, you’re definitely not alone there. But yeah we probably missed this in internal testing with it usually loaded up, appreciate the report.

Ok… I just bought the ā€œDad Jokesā€ quote pack… because, well… duh… I’m a dad :joy:

I’ve already shared a few with my kids. I’m not sure how many jokes are in the pack, but… I think you may need to add more Dad Joke packs to the store as time goes on :joy:

I think we will be looking at the more popular ones and adding to them over time! And yeah perhaps some of the most popular can get sequel packs eventually.

Was also just thinking the other night it might be nice/easy to add an opt-in option under Quotes to get a daily morning push from the current selected pack. Gotta sleep on it but could see us adding that quickly some early update.
