It was the other way for me, I linked it to the duckduckgo icon svg and the horse started. I thought it was a loading animation (and took more than a few seconds) so I threw it to another monitor and continued reading HN.
...30 minutes later the horse is still running and I'm like 'wtf? what does a horse have to do with the DDG logo?' close tab. read comments...
It turns out the app doesn't handle svg (it is actually in the to do list) and returned a 500, but the failure was never presented to the user.
- yantrams 8y agoOuch. Sorry to have put you through that :/ I will fix it asap. And I agree with the parent too. Maybe some text below the horse that says fetching results... would make things clearer.
- Normal_gaussian 8y agohaha, no bother, we all know whats up here; I'm just busy bikeshedding. Massive kudos for delivering; I like it a lot :D
- yantrams 8y agoThank you! Fixed it :)
