LFGSS Mobile (Android app)

Oh, that's really weird. I'll have to scan the code and what could be causing that 😅

Oh wait, when editing, the send arrow is replaced by a "save" diskette. Are you seeing that?

I'll check...

(edit) there is a save discette

And that worked.
As you can see above

Great! That's a relief. Good feedback though - replacing the send arrow that everyone expects with a floppy disk is bad UI.

I love the app since starting to use it a few weeks ago.

I do have a dev request though.

I would like to have the ability to send a message to myself.

I do this so that I can upload images as attachments, then embed those images in posts inline elsewhere (which you can't do directly with attached files).

I just sent myself an image, and it's even easier if you already have a thread with yourself.

Is the problem that you can't get the URL from the image?

It would seem the problem is that the user forgot their own username. I was trying to send a message to @TW, who doesn't exist...

Not being able to get the URL from the image is a thing too, though. I hadn't realised that you couldn't.

Yeah, that's going to be a problem. I need to add some long-press functionality...

Ah, you just couldn't remember who 'tis/was, right?

v1.0.31

• Clear obsolete notifications
  
• Handle non-image attachments a bit better
  
• Add map links to events
  

Could I put in a feature request?

Over in the Minute Cryptic thread where we talk about crosswords, and in other threads as well (often about sporting event outcomes), I like to use the html summary / details tag to make hidden text. (I'll put an example and description in the next post).

Problem is that the syntax for it is unwieldy and hard to remember and is always a pain to go and look up and type in.

Is there anyway we could add it to the UI of the app's editor?

Maybe along with other text editing capabilities like bold, italic, link, picture etc, like on the main website?

Which is made with the following code:

<details>
<summary>Here's an example spoiler (click me)</summary>
Hello!
</details>

It's been on my mind for a while. I'm thinking along the lines of how Signal does it: long pressing or selecting text reveals a pop-up menu of formatting options.

I haven't attempted it yet because I just assumed it would be quite involved. But it could be easy. I don't know. I'll check it out!

Amazing!

Can I make another feature request / change to current formatting please.

I find the pale blue font colour for quotes is almost unreadable, and would like to be able to change it.

This kind of quote? That's odd because it should be grey. Can you send me a screenshot?

How does one quote in the app?

Just select the text you wan to quote and hit "reply"

No way, that's grand!

Edit: the reply option was hidden behind the three dots.

The quotes are grey for me.

In dark mode, for me as well. When I switch to light mode, it is lightish blue. Indeed a bit hard to read, but who want light mode in these bright times?

Here you go
