Topic: Fluff, a beautiful native windows client for e621

Posted under e621 Tools and Applications

Hey it's me, the guy who made e610 awhile back. Well, almost a year back now. But I've returned with an updated version, now called Fluff!
It's still in heavy development, as the old app was made when I was a newer developer (and was terribly coded) so I'm still fixing and importing features.
It's open source again, https://github.com/EpsiRho/Fluff
But the big news is: It's on the fuckin Microsoft Store! https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9NJRHG6FVKL9
Again: This is still a beta, but if you want to check it out and play around, leave feedback, and get automatic updates with new features, go check it out!

Current features:

  • Search Posts on e621
  • Easy sorting

Hey, this is really good!

A way to hide the tag drawer would be nice, perhaps.
I also didnt see the comments anywhere, though the app settings mentions showing them :thinking:
zooming in on images in some way would be interesting; didnt find a way of doing that so far.

Thanks!
Comments and commenting are done and will be out in 0.6, along with desciptions, favorited tags, and recommended tags.
Also, thats a good idea to hide the drawer! As of right now it's resizeable if you drag the edge, but it has a minimum size.

"Age rating
For ages 12 and up"

Yeah, I don't know about that one...

Really?! haha, in my country (US) It's 18. Guess it's different for everyone, it was set by microsoft.

When I go to https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9NJRHG6FVKL9 it shows the "USK 18" logo:

Mine is under the International Age Rating Coalition (IARC), but I guess the Microsoft Store uses different age ratings for different regions with Germany using the Entertainment Software Self-Regulation Body (USK) and the US using the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB).

Still though, it's odd that there's such a wide margin between the age ratings.

New version up on the windows store and on github!

Random sort order isn't working for me, it just loads forever

I can't seem to reproduce this issue, it could be that e6 was having an issue at the time. I'll try and add a popup for when the connection failed next update ^^

You've done very impressive work on this! It looks fantastic! Do you have any plans to implement an auto-advance "slideshow" feature for "hands-free" browsing? I'm a diehard user of Umami specifically for this reason. Once again, very cool app you've created!

Thank you! And that’s a fantastic idea, I know exactly how I’d implement it too, can probably get it in next release!

New release! Fluff Version 0.9!

See the full changelog + download links and source code here: https://www.epsirho.com/Projects/fluff.html
Short Changelog:

  • Upgraded Recommended tags
  • Added Auto scrolling through posts
  • The post info view has been spaced out, auto hides sections that the post doesn't have, comments title moved to the left, and comments given more room to breathe~
  • The post view left panel has been adjusted
  • New Special Filters: Popular today, this week, this month
  • New Filter: Minimum Score
  • You can now download sets
  • You can now double tap to zoom into images or hold ctrl and scroll to control the zoom!

Messed up a small bit of code that's not supposed to run if you're not logged in, causing a crash on launch. Publishing version 0.9.1 now to deploy a fix~

Experiencing some strange behaviour;

When setting posts to safe rating only, I get no posts (infinite loading).
When I set it to explicit rating, I only get stuff I blacklisted (very unpleasent experience, would not recommend).

No idea how thats happening, but I checked and my blacklist is correctly saved.

Can't use the app like this though :(
