Hey, I installed the latest build (15) and tried to login to my account on feddit.de. But somehow it always shows that my credentials aren't valid...which isn't the case because I'm using a password manager and double checked by logging in to the browser.

I just tried logging into feddit and it logs me in no problem: https://streamable.com/iv71tq

But I just wanted to confirm, in the "Homepage" field, did you put in "feddit.de" or "www.feddit.de"?

Make sure there are no trailing spaces

Could you record you trying to add the account?

[–] brayd@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course. Did a Screen Recording and uploaded it to my Synology NAS. Link is valid for one day. Recorded trying to add the account using the credentials of my login manager as well as logging in with those credentials via the browser. Here you go: https://thehydraserver.quickconnect.to/d/s/tpJ88f56SVHQrk5tXLoEckcodQBxhRFC/3pGNgt0zNOpr4JtppcIDmMbXDOyItbkQ-_bZAOM7vfAo

Could you DM me your email? I'll send you a special build that will show the raw error

You should get an email with a special link. Try downloading that build and logging in again, hopefully I did it correctly and it will show the raw error

[–] brayd@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well it worked but the error was {"error": "Unknown"}

BUT I figured it out! Your app wasn't able to handle special chars in my password. I changed my password to something without special chars and now it works!

Specifically I had the special chars { [ @ } < . and # in my password. So somewhere here is the issue and some kind of character here is breaking your password field or your API request. Maybe some escape you're doing?

Interesting! I will add special characters to my password and see if I can fix that problem. I'll keep you informed

Sounds good! Thank you for your help! :) Btw, the app works great now that I can test it. One suggestion: Big posts shouldn't be fully visible in the feed. It'd be better if you'd see a preview and had to click on it to see the rest of the post. But besides that it looks awesome!

[–] lFenix@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I uploaded a new version (16) where I tried to properly escape the special characters. I wonder if that will fix the original problem.

Speaking of your suggestion, I'll add it as an option. Many people prefer to see the entire post, but I'll add it as an option. And thank you! :)
