Working on getting it into the main repo, for now you have to add my custom one: github.com/jhass/insporation/#…

Got it.

Do you take feature requests? 😃

@Monkeymind What's on your mind? :D

@Benjamin not sure I'll really care with that anymore, the app's released on the appstore in its latest version.

What's on your mind? :D

I'm not monkeymind, but... The text input is a bit weird. The window doesn't tell the keyboard when a new sentence starts, so it's always lowercase. Modifying text is a bit tricky, because instead of just placing the cursor somewhere, a lot of text gets selected and it's not easy to deselect everything. Context (after selection) could use a "translate" like Dandelion had. 🫣

As said, text selection behaves on my phone also sometimes strange. From time to time it isn't possible to get a "standard" cursor for text input without any selections.

But I'm not sure, if this is a more Android specific problem or if the app is causing the problem.

First of all, I love the app!

These feature requests are just that, and don't detract from my appreciation. I know some of these are hard and haven't been implemented in the web client either.

1. Filter out post replies by blocked accounts.
2. Mute coounts I follow, so I can still send them messages but don't see their posts. Bonus points if this feature has granularity so I can mute their posts but still see comments by them in replies to other's posts.
3. A "reply to comment" button, which fills out a comnent with a link to the original commenter's profile and puts the comment in a quote section, so I don't have to copy-paste and figure out how to cite the author. Bonus points for a context menu entry if I select part of a comment (or post).
4. The entries in the notifications menu are less detailed than in the web client, i.e. just "Post by XY". It would be nice to have the web client behavior.
5. Auto-complete user references, like in the desktop web client.
6. Preview.

Love this idea

Yeah, that one sounds good. But...

Filter out post replies by blocked accounts...

I think that would be a Diaspora feature and it should be implemented there. Sounds like a Frequently Requested Feature...

@Aladár Mézga:

It's been requested for ages. The common thread in answers has been "use a greasemonkey/user script in yourbrowswr", which makes me believe it is a client-side implementation topic.

But I seriously don't know. Just formulating a wishlist here.

Yap, blocking logic I would prefer server side. The client currently only stores sessions and that's easily recoverable if lost. The other thing it stores are post/comment drafts, something that can be argued as best effort and not too bad to be lost. So essentially it's fairly stateless so far. So I see introducing things like client side filtering as lot of potential complexity growth, as you then probably will also want a migration/backup path, multi-device syncing of the client configuration etc.

The API currently does not return anything about the post/comment on the notifications endpoint, so previewing that would mean N+1 queries over the network, not sure it's worth the feature to be honest.

Mention autocomplete is difficult since especially for commenting, between the comment input being in a bottom sheet at the moment and the on-screen keyboard there's no real space to display anything. Not sure how you imagine this exactly. -> github.com/jhass/insporation/i…

Will include a first version of message preview in the next release, not very happy about the UI in the end, glad for any suggestions how to improve it.

Will include comment reply in the next release, looks good.

Better mention integration

In the composer, investigate providing an autocomplete for mentions after typing the @ symbol, replacing the formatting bar option.

Ah, btw: Dandelion had a link in shared posts to the original post. Would that be difficult to add?

And a question: I think once upon a time I could mention people (meaning with link created and notification sent) from Dandelion, but that's only possible in the web version now, not mobile. Do you perhaps know the reason for that?
