# New Issues/Discussions

In the iOS repo, we have three new issues:

1. We'd like to add universal link functionality to the app. To quote Ben, "If I click a dev.to/ben link on the web, I'll be brought to the app, but it will just show the page I had open." 
{% github https://github.com/thepracticaldev/DEV-ios/issues/99 %}

2. Two bugs were reported by email. This first one involves clicking `mailto` links, which crashes the app.
{% github https://github.com/thepracticaldev/DEV-ios/issues/97 %}

3. The second bug involves unintended behavior and switching out of the app. More details in the issue.
{% github https://github.com/thepracticaldev/DEV-ios/issues/96 %}

From the main repo, we have several new issues:
- Search results sometimes show results that are no longer accessible. This is mostly because of an indexing issue that the app isn't handling with Algolia. Thanks [@tone-dev](https://dev.to/tonedev).
{% github https://github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/issues/1102) %}

- We'd like ways of reporting users that have violated our Terms of Service or Code of Conduct. [Thanks @puritanic](https://dev.to/puritanic).
{% github https://github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/issues/1112 %}

- Title says it all: "When writing a post, text view doesn't follow follow cursor." There's also a video example in the issue. Thanks [@trueneu](https://dev.to/trueneu).
{% github https://github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/issues/1109 %}

- We added accessibility support for the navbar as mentioned above, but we'll need to add that functionality for other browsers. Thanks again [@trueneu](https://dev.to/trueneu).
{% github https://github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/issues/1110 %}

- [@link2twenty](https://dev.to/link2twenty) requested a feature that allows you to easily follow others, similar to how Twitter handles it. Thanks, Andrew.
{% github https://github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/issues/1122 %}

- [@equiman](https://dev.to/equiman) reported a bug where uploading images in comments are a bit of a pain. See the issue and discussion in it for more details. Thanks, Camilo.
{% github https://github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/issues/1123) %}

- [@gabek](https://dev.to/gabek) requested an improvement to our RSS feed, where it has a `<category>` tag that shows which tags the post has. Thanks, Gabe.
{% github https://github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/issues/1128 %}

- [@flexdinesh](https://dev.to/flexdinesh) requested a concise list view for the home feed, since we've grown quite a bit and having a higher volume of posts. Thanks, Dinesh.
{% github https://github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/issues/1138 %}

- [@link2twenty](https://dev.to/link2twenty) requested another feature where we could translate comments on the fly, also similar to what Twitter does. Thanks again, Andrew.
{% github https://github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/issues/1150 %}

- [@ryankilleen](https://dev.to/ryankilleen) brought up two accessibility issues:
  1. Provide content skip links for keyboard/screen reader users.
  {% github https://github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/issues/1153 %}
  2. Allow exiting focused navigation with the `escape` key. Thanks, Ryan.
  {% github https://github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/issues/1154 %}

- [@johnwoodruff91](https://dev.to/johnwoodruff91) reported that the StackBlitz Liquid tag renders improperly in mobile, and seems to only happen in Safari mobile webviews. Thanks, John.
{% github https://github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/issues/1155 %}

That's it for this week! Thanks again to all the contributors!
