Oddball Mastodon wish list (with respect):

--Not having to include the https:// in front of URLs

--Having direct messages show up with a different background color or something to better distinguish them from your regular feed (not saying they have to be like #birdsite's "separate screen/tab" but they should still be easier to separate out

--Link preview cards for the mobile app (they work on the desktop browser already)

--Given the massive influx of #birdsite refugees, is there a way of shortening #birdsite handles so it doesn't tack on "@twitter" after them while still distinguishing them as such? Perhaps having the handle in a different color/font or something from Mastodon handles?

--QuoteToots would be nice (Yes, I know this is controversial & understand the reason for not including them, just throwing it in there).

--GIPHY integration at some point perhaps?

@charlesgaba On Android, gboard keyboard includes a GIF function so you can search and send directly within. Not sure if iphone (assuming you use one) had it but it's a life-changer

@vijtable Hmmm yes I use an iPhone, I'll look into it there. I was thinking of the desktop browser as well but that might be a handy solution for my phone, thanks!

@vijtable Hmmm...the gif only seems to work in Toot! On iPhone, when I tried on the actual Mastodon app it just gave a still shot.

@charlesgaba Oh right. I'm using Tusky client instead of mastodon (not sure if it exists for iPhone)... Will reply with gif in main app
