(8chan) Deduplicated images fail to show up

[ctrlcctrlv]

(I am making this report as part of my duties as a technical consultant to N.T.Technology, Inc.)

8chan is now using image deduplication. Deduplicated images can happily co-exist with their non-deduplicated counterparts.

However, according to users of Overchan, Overchan does not support deduplicated images.

The check for them is simple. Just see if the length of the filename, without the extension, (so, tim parameter) is 64 characters.

If some API change could help make this easier for you, let me know.

The new deduplicated images are in a different file path format from before. This might also be causing the trouble.

Before: https://${subdomain}.8ch.net/${boardname}/src/${filename}

Now: https://${subdomain}.8ch.net/file_store/${filename}

This is making the app unusable for me. I mostly browse 8chan and now 90% of the images give 404s.

N.T. Technology Inc is maintaining a fork of this application called "Everychan". So far the only difference is that #114 is merged and the name is changed.

@ctrlcctrlv the bad thing about it is that they changed package name for no good reason. If they want to upload stuff to Google™ Play™ etc., it's enough to set a different application id in build script. Because of this, it can't be directly merged and digesting the list of changes is tedious.

https://github.com/everychan/everychan/commit/81748fb350b18b0ce4e9ec2510a7a5176989c617 This commit for example is named bug fix and yet it also changes package name everywhere. where's the logic guys? This should be in separate commit at least. You're doing git wrong.
