From a developers point of view catching every possible edge case is difficult to do first time round but I have every confidence in the app development team that these examples are in a minority and this will improve over time. I'm not sure where the image comes from right now but in future I envision this is also part of the editorial process and editors can help with this by choosing appropriate images, optimising for this sort of display (maybe a Wikidata app image property). Thinking out loud here but really what I'm saying is I'm happy to see us innovating, and I don't think we should get too distressed by certain cases which don't quite work, software is never done. We hit similar issues early on with the nearby feature for mobil web where we had instances of articles that were not nearby showing up in the UI and being incorrectly positioned due to problems with the API. As a result apps were able to get the nearby feature in really easily and even added a cool orientation aspect to push it to the next level! With people raising these bugs the software got better and the end result even more so. _______________________________________________ Mobile-l mailing list Mobile-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l
