Thank you very much.

If you want another suggestion:

Auto focus the search input so a keyboard automatically opens on mobile.

Rationale: most users use it to search for gifs and it removes the action of tapping on the input to type. The other actions on the app require a tap anyway so users wanting to do something else will not be inconvenienced, especially if you make the header buttons (upload etc) fixed to the top in mobile view.

You’re saying auto-focus upon app open on mobile, right?

I can probably figure that out. That makes sense too

The header currently pushes the header out of view when the search is focused to bring up the keyboard, I’ll see if I can keep everything on screen

Great suggestions! I’m big on UI/UX improvements so I’ll get these in

If you think of anything else, just message me anytime 🤙

I mean it's just adding an HTML attribute

This works on the computer, but doesn’t work on iOS mobile, which is what I use mostly

Safari doesn’t seem to like it

I’m trying different things now

I have a development build going right now, I’ll send you a link to try out and you can let me know your thoughts
