Ah, it's too big on iPad 3 too..? Then it means I have to change my media query, indeed...

And the menu position is tied to the screen resolution, too (CSS resolution, i.e. pixel density), so I'm not surprised the menu disappears on a Retina screen, of course...

I guess I'll have to do some new media query that checks for a resolution below 500px, or something...! It should catch pretty much all of the mobile devices while leaving tablets in peace, right..? :-/

As for the middle button click, I'm guessing no one is bothered by it, since I got no complaints..?

Yeah, text is huge in iPad 3, I can always upload a screenshot?

As for middle clicking, that's something I *never* do unless I have to for the simple reason that middle clicking on a mouse where the middle click *is* the scrollwheel is just not going to happen.

I use it to open links in new tabs all the time. So much easier than Ctrl+Click...

Yes, which is why my code accounts for that and allows you to do that.. ;)

Yep :)
I wonder though if that position can be "uncomfortable" on iOS 7, given that a swipe from left to right (on left side) would open the left tab (if multiple tabs are open).

I don't know anything about iOS 7...
All I know is that Chrome has this, but for the swipe to be taken into account, you'd have to start it on the edge of the page, while Wedge takes any swipe into account, and for what it's worth, my iOS 5 tests were satisfying, although I'm still not happy with the jerkiness of the animation, hmm...

iOS 7 is very pretty, has some Android and Palm OS influence and is rather buggy right now... and yes, the swiping in the general UI starts from the left side too...

Even when not at the edge..?
Great... Means they're gonna break a lot of web apps... ::)

Oh well, I suppose I could change it to a right-to-left swipe. If it doesn't also take over this..???!!!

Single tap would be crazy, eh... ;)

Okay, so I read a bit about iOS 7, and from what I gathered, they simply copied Chrome's behavior for Safari, i.e. you have to swipe from a side, it won't trigger if you swipe from the middle, for instance. So, it should be okay... Just as I thought -- they wouldn't dare break thousands of websites that implemented code specifically to work on their OS...!

Also, I rewrote (again) my code tonight, and ended up getting a faster animation on Android, but it's extremely broken (apart from the sidebar font size finally being fine), and the animation doesn't work on iOS (at least older versions), will fix later.. Also, the opening/closing triggers stop working after the first time, so you'll have to reload your page. I'll fix all of these, tomorrow... For now, bed time is upon me. Ah, well... Maybe if I manage to steal a few extra minutes, eheh...

Okay, fixed the triggers to happen all the time, fixed font color, didn't fix the stuff in iOS though, I couldn't care less... :niark:
What do you think of this new animation..? It could be seen as bothersome if you're currently writing a post or something and then accidentally triggering the thing, but it's no biggie.

I see it was worth the effort... :lol:
That was, quite obviously, a request for opinions.

I spent another 24 hours on this, even unearthed bugs by Chrome that I tried hard to fix (such as hardware-accelerated fixed-position items being treated as absolute-positioned), but it's definitely not worth the hassle.

See. Only Pete's new features seem to create any kind of excitement in users here. Whenever I have something new to show, I have to wait until Pete says it's "nice" for everyone else to agree with him. Whenever he's on project leave, everyone decides that they'll take their leave too...

I see that not many people share my quest for perfection.
In the meantime, projects like 'Ghost', with 10 times less innovative features than Wedge, raise £200.000 (!!) on Kickstarter and get talked about in magazines. Me? All I'm asking for is feedback (negative or positive, whatever) when I post about a feature idea.
Oh, well...
I'll just call it quits, then, and always settle for the shittiest possible solutions that require the less support time to me. Perhaps one day, someone will find my shit 'revolutionary'. I'll be long gone to another project, though... Perhaps "Slice", a fork of "Wedge" geared towards making blogs. (Yeah, it'll be exactly the same, but apparently, posts + replies aren't as exciting as blog posts + comments, even though they're the same thing...)
