Could you make the waiting process clearer with a progress bar for first time opening the shared link of a space? Sometimes I am not sure it is still loading or not.

Hey Lefty, thanks for the feedback, this is definitely something that can be improved! We have a few ideas on how to better show this (like a progress bar of sorts) ✌️

Some additional ideas for convenience, pull to refresh, and URL parameters to add link quickly (can be integrated into Siri Shortcuts).

I love the idea of the params adding things to/customize a space. We've been testing a few bots to run in Slack/Discord servers and this would be a fantastic way to interface with those to 'pre-load' the space. Thanks for continuously thinking of ideas!

Could you add a button in add link UI to quickly paste from pasteboard and return? It could save a lot of time for adding link process. Also, I’ve tried the paste button in the action sheet when there’s a link in pasteboard, but nothing happened. Could you explain what is the action designed for? BTW, all operations are performed in iOS Safari.

Hey, I'd like to hear more about what is not working with pasting. We provide the "Add Link" input so someone can either enter a link manually or edit/cleanup a link before submitting – and then pasting should work if one is sure they have the right thing on their clipboard already.

I recorded a video of me pasting on macOS and iOS and added it to this space: https://alpha.new.space/s/cbYTPnFFk9qu4z2639JKmA#Ykdp-xS026HtiRkA9-5B9fzgp66wXNlPSRL2jPsFkWc

If it isn't working the same for you, then def let us know and we'll look into it.

Ok I’ve figured out what’s going on. I’ve installed the Safari Extension StopTheMadness and enabled it by default for all websites. It definitely breaks some scripts. After I disable it for new.space, the paste behavior becomes normal.

Ah, that's great to hear. We have seen StopTheMadness also will alter our CSS to make some of our long-press touch actions not work correctly too. We've added a mention on our FAQ about this here: https://community.shareup.world/p/faq#:~:text=unexpected%20behavior%20with%20some%20browser%20extensions
