What's New

*Ziiiiiip*

In one quick motion, the window blinds shot towards the ceiling, revealing the San Francisco morning. As the sunlight poured into Reddit's engineering department, all eyes were fixated on the small hand of the office clock as it ticked ever so slowly towards the 10 o’clock hour.

They hadn’t reached this level of early morning excitement since Waffle House day, but today was special in an entirely different way.

iOS 9 was imminent. And they would be ready.

As the clock struck 10, the engineers feverishly hit “download and update,” blasting through user agree after user agreement—each promising themselves they’d read it in full later that day (except Thomas, who scrolled, line-by-line, for the rest of the week before finally hitting “Agree”).
One by one, as the progress bars filled and the updates applied, the engineers immediately installed the latest build of Alien Blue. Tapping, swiping, scrolling—they quickly ran through every corner of the app to make sure it functioned as it should. (Of course, they’d all done their due diligence and tested extensively with the beta, but somehow this was different.)

This was real.

Fixed: Status bar appearing momentarily while video is playing
