Description
i'd like to see something done about the destination unavailable error which sometimes shows even when the site is online
doesn't make for a good user experience
notxmz: the error pages need significant work
(also to improve their mobile theming)
do you think an auto retry on that specific error page would help temporarily?
Maybe
Part of the issue historically was that there wasn't much information provided to the client by the router across I2CP
ie. there were many reasons why a page would be unavailable
zzz did good work to improve error reporting across I2CP
But the associated error pages he added need to be made clearer
Suggested improvements:
-
Better explanation of errors
- Clearly show what user should do next
-
Possible auto-retry (via meta refresh) if relevant.
-
Better CSS for mobile
