In this contribution, I'll go through an list of many bugs I have found in Utopian, that haven't already been posted about (to my knowledge). This list is to make sure all the developers (including myself!) have knowledge of all of the bugs.

#1: Github Connection Issue

When I go to https://utopian.io/@flauwy, I see @flauwy's projects and contributions. Once I click the Utopian Logo in the top-left corner on that page, I go home. My Github Connection now looks like this:

It looks like Utopian left @flauwy's Github data in my Github Connection window.

#2: Random Replies Tab

When I press the three dots in the top-right of Utopian and open 'Settings', I see a left sidebar:

Clicking on Replies takes me to a random page with no data:

If the tab is necessary, it should direct to an actual "replies" page. If it's not very useful, we can just scrap it altogether.

#3: Bookmarks/Saving Issue

Below, as you can see, I just saved a post:

However, when I visit my Bookmarks page through the top-right three dots, I see this loading sign forever:

#4: Utopian Doesn't Save Failed Posts

I can't reproduce the error right now because I don't want to make a wasted/fake contribution :) Many of you, however, know that at times Utopian fails to connect to Steem and you get a message like this:

The message usually says, Utopian can't connect to Steem. Your post is saved in drafts. However, after pressing the mandatory OK button on the message, a lot of the time you are redirected to some random page where you can't even copy your post, and you think, "All my hard work is lost!"

But wait! Your post is saved in drafts, right? Nope. More than half of the time the post doesn't even end up being saved there! This bug is very problematic as it leads people to lose all their work. I was going to write another contribution recently, but Utopian couldn't connect to Steem and I forgot to make a backup, so I lost all my work!

If you know of any more bugs that haven't been covered by bug reports, please go over to https://utopian.io and fill out a bug report for utopian-io/utopian.io. The developers, including myself, are looking for all of the bugs, and the first thing you can do to help us squash these bugs is to tell them what they are! :)
