Hello,
I’ve been trying to use the Newsblur web interface on my iPad, in Safari, in landscape orientation. This mostly works fine, but, the leftmost column, where the list of feeds is, is too wide, which makes the list of articles and then the actual article content too narrow for my liking.
However, try as I might, I can’t get the interface to resize on the iPad. The touch UI doesn’t seem to trigger the little “grip handle” that is visible and for this exact purpose. Note that this works just fine on my desktop, it’s just on the iPad that I can’t seem to do it.
Am I missing something obvious, or is there a trick to getting this to work?
Thank you!
Just retooled how this resize handle works, and it should be working pretty well on iPad. What column mode are you in? Auto/2/3/full screen? I suggest using Auto, since I just tested it and its working well to resize both the feed list and the story titles list.
I must be in moron mode, as I just can’t get it to work. I’ve closed the Newsblur tab, opened a new tab, went to Newsblur and no matter what I do, I can’t resize that left most column. I have tried pinch/zooming as well, to make it larger. No joy.
For the Style/Story view, I’m in Auto mode, if that’s where you mean for the Auto/2/3/.
Happy to upload a picture if it helps to show where I’m trying to tap and where it’s not working.
Update - I have managed to somehow make it infinitely worse. I thought that by using my Apple Pencil it would be more precise, and somehow, something “happened” and indeed I could resize. Sadly, it seemed stuck to my pencil and as I pulled the pencil away and to the right, I now have a feed list which takes up about 80% of the screen.
Since I know it can be somehow resized, I’ll keep poking at it.
A video or screenshot would be helpful!
Enough mucking about with it and somehow my Pencil again “caught” something and the column started resizing, I managed to get it to the ideal location to the left, and tapped the screen, which seemed to release it. Progress!
I also use the Stage Manager feature; but Safari is full screen and there are no other applications or windows visible. Just mentioning in case using Stage Manager impacts things.
I’ll upload an image in a moment of what I’m trying to grab.
