Day 1: Trending hashtags
Mastodon servers can report information about the hashtags that are trending, and #Tusky now shows this information for you. It's accessible from the left-hand navigation menu, and you can also add it as a dedicated tab.
I've attached a screenshot so you can see what it's like.
The work was done by @knossos in https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/pull/3149
Day 2: Editing image description and focus point
#Tusky v21 introduced support for editing the text of your posts.
Unfortunately, Mastodon introduced support for editing image descriptions and focus points too late in the release process for Tusky 21 for it to be included in Tusky (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/20878).
This adds a media_attributes parameter to PUT /api/v1/statuses/:id. media_attributes is an array, items of which have the following attributes: id: the identifier of the media attachment to be mod...
But here we are, a few months later, and #Tusky v22 supports this too. When you're editing one of your posts you can now tap any images you attached and edit the description and focus point.
@Tak did a lot of the initial work to support post editing in Tusky, and he's responsible for this new feature too, in https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/pull/3215.
Completes #3211 We could also add support for viewing them in the edit history view, but I think that will maybe not be super useful since that view is mainly for seeing the history of other people...
Day 3: #Tusky v22 is smarter about the language defaults when you reply to a post.
The list of languages in the language menu is now sorted to prioritise:
- The language the post you're replying to was written in
- Your default posting language
- The languages you've configured in Tusky
- The languages you've configured in Android (Settings > System > Languages and Input)
@Tak did the work here, in https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/pull/3293.
Day 4: Android Notifications
#Tusky v22.0 changes how Android notifications are displayed.
There's quite a lot to cover, and rather than spam the feed with 20+ posts I've put the write-up at https://write.as/nikclayton/tusky-v22-0-day-4-android-notifications
@nikclayton nice article!
I noticed that the link to the mastodon server issue link is not working. You have a "(" too much at the end.
