Platform(s), such as mobile, website, API, other: Android App, website
URLs (aka web addresses) of any pages, if relevant: https://www.inaturalist.org/blog and others; “news” tab of android app
Description of need:
Describe the iNaturalist community need that your requested feature addresses. Include screenshots, URLs, and other details to help us all understand the issue.
On the Android app “news” tab, articles are displayed/timestamped in order of date updated/edited, not date orginally published. This gets confusing on days like today (December 22) when 6 older articles have been edited in the last day or two and are now timestamped more recently than the actual most recent blog post (currently the observation of the week featuring the mantid.)
Feature request details:
In detail, describe the feature you are requesting. This includes its functionality, where the feature is implemented, and what it might look like. Screenshots or mock-ups are helpful. The idea is to have a concrete and actionable request which the community can discuss and vote on. It might change through discussion, but it’s much easier to iterate and talk about something specific.
This could be solved by changing the app coding to keep the posts in order of original publication. Or a somewhat less good work-around would be to require every iNat blog post to state the date in the title (observation of the week does this already but other news entries do not.)
