Still breaks swipe to go back for me.

Opened an issue for this https://github.com/june07/clippings-frontend/issues/1 if you want to add some additional detail about what you are experiencing on your end...

On iOS if I swipe from the left I just get a white panel sliding out from the left. It should go back.

(There’s nothing in the panel, maybe that’s where there was previously an ad?)

I just found out the other day that the official Internet Archive/Wayback Machine extension ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wayback-machine/fp... ) has a mode to automatically archive every page you view. It's pretty neat, and I wish more people would run it to get a more diverse snapshot of stuff into the Wayback machine.

I see they have a private mode, how does this work exactly? How does it make sure it's archiving the home page of my bank's website and not my personal dashboard?

Or things like private shares to Dropbox, Zoom, YT etc.? Password resets? One time login links? Etc.

A friend of mine was a victim of a false Craigslist listing inviting people to come by his home and take "free" items from his property. The listing was removed before he got home from work and realized what happened. It would have been useful to have an archived copy of the listing.

I really hate these scammers. I've moved quite a few times and when it gets to be a week out and I still have so much stuff and no time, I've often tried to give it away, but people are so suspicious that they could get a free couch or desk that we have to go through 10 messages for them to trust me. I can't be bothered to exchange that many messages with 20 people just to give something away. I want an apartment equ…

Write "estate sale".

It destroys the conversation. It would be nice to be able to disown a comment, instead. Comments that accidentally reveal personal information, that would be a nice use-case for deletion. But on the other hand, nothing can be deleted from the internet, so having the button there could add a false sense of security.

> nothing can be deleted from the internet In theory that's true; anything Donald Trump says, for instance, can never be deleted. In practice, if someone on Reddit deletes their post, it's extremely unlikely you'll be able to recover it. It's not a probability of zero, but pretty close to it. You could file a lawsuit and then Reddit will have to find it, but otherwise, it's gone.

I doubt that unless it's criminal evidence or something

Sorry to tell you, but once you post it on Reddit, the content is no longer yours. Not your content, not your choice.

I am still an individual in this world with rights no matter how much "the internet" feels that isn't true. Reference the current legislation being put in place around the world regarding privacy as proof that I am not in the minority here. Also it did work exactly like that since reddit allowed me to delete said content and and chose to stop posting or interacting with reddit. Could there be a copy my reddit history…

> and I'm sure I also have legal standing on that backed by my government.

Oh honey.

Civil suits have Discovery, too.

This here is at the forefront of the entire reason for the massive backlash at tge Reddit API changes. I created that content, I can decide what is done with it. If I dislike the direction reddit is going I should be able to remove said content and prevent reddit from generating income for it. Reddit didn't pay me to provide the information I did, neither did you. Neither of you are entitled to it remaining there ind…

Thanks for the additional information. I've updated/closed the GitHub issue below and confirmed the fix.

Hope you understand that this was an unknown condition prior to your helping out (I'm on Android where back navigation was unaffected) and certainly not a deliberate attempt at bad UX just to push a DO ad. Again, thank you for the valuable feedback as it helped solve the problem faster!
