@ShadowWizard Brian is doing doing iOS revamps right now (the designer that designed our Android and iOS apps is also back helping us on a new project!) -- I was working on a specific featureset for the Android app that'll be announced in a few weeks (would talk about it if I could)
but no news after that.

I did that at work on my first day and found a security issue :D
@Quill well, I did that in the end...
the iOS one gets updated like once a week

@meatball One can post and flag from the public API 2.2 as well.

I wonder what the new project is.

@hichris123 That's why you read posts before upvoting them!
I was trying to click to the homepage and I hit the upvote arrow... :P
I hope you instantly unupvoted it!
I did, but...

From me. Just kidding

Anyone other than hichris123 (and me) around?
I didn't
I reported it as spam
But Smokey already indicated that it's soup's fault so I don't know why it's still an issue :P

@John nope
@hichris123 Perhaps a sockpuppet upvoted it?
@Quill are you sure?

That would've been a perfect time for Smokey to blame the invoker
