DK to go: App test for stories containing a poll [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-06-18

I’ve again been working on my mobile app for offline reading of dailykos.com stories. Development is coming along really well. I want to get polls working before I put out a public test version of the app for Android. (There will be an iPhone version, too, but it’ll come later because I want to focus on one platform at a time.)

To test polling, I need to see a story with a poll. I haven’t seen any in the recent Community stories for a few days, so I’m posting one here. [Update: I was looking in the wrong way, so maybe there were polls posted, but I missed them. Now that I know the old poll detection logic was wrong, I need to rewrite it.]

The idea behind an offline reader app is that you have it grab stories while you have Internet access so that you can read them when you don’t. My initial reason for wanting it was to grab content before boarding a plane that might have bad, expensive, or no Wi-Fi. My current reason is to learn a new programming platform.
