@amiloradovsky "the message text entering area doesn't support word completion"
This looks like some incompatibility. I do have words suggestions on my devices...
"AS may any time strip away e.g. the double newline paragraph separation — I'm having hard time justifying that behavior" This is really controversial, I agree. I added this long ago fighting with unintended blank lines...

AndStatus@Mastodon (andstatus@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 29-Mar-2018 18:18:51 UTC AndStatus@Mastodon @LeeteqXV I also noticed that there are too many automatically created timelines. I will add some quick way to (automatically) delete unused timelines... Did you notice that Manage Timelines table may be sorted by any column?
Thank you for willing to help. For the start you could look at what improvements we already discussed at https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues?q=is%3Aissue+sort%3Aupdated-desc -
AndStatus@Mastodon (andstatus@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 29-Mar-2018 16:23:23 UTC AndStatus@Mastodon @amiloradovsky "This toot (reply to own reply, a follow-up) didn't contain any mentions by default (feature?)" Yes, this is done deliberately :-)
Regarding CW (Note name in #ActivityPub terms) - I'm testing this now for #Mastodon and #Pump.io and plan to release...
The keyboard doesn't disapper, when switching or screen rotation, if Note editor is active.
I mentioned "business users" in a context of users' need in "intuitive" UI, not about #AndStatus in particular :-) -
AndStatus@Mastodon (andstatus@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 29-Mar-2018 16:22:15 UTC AndStatus@Mastodon @amiloradovsky Regarding #Mastodon's "visibility".
I plan to implement this in a unified way using #ActivityVocabulary, so the feature could be reused for different social networks. Using the vocabulary, "visibility" means, which groups of users will be able to see the note/activity: Public (all, even unauthenticated), "Users of this instance" etc. or no groups at all and only concrete list of recipients (this is close to "Private" timeline).
Not sure about proper indicators... -
AndStatus@mstdn.io (andstatus@mstdn.io)'s status on Tuesday, 27-Mar-2018 20:41:37 UTC AndStatus@mstdn.io @amiloradovsky Advanced problem diagnostic tools in #AndStatus are not for developers only, unfortunately. Answering lots of questions like "Why I don't see new posts in my timeline" during several years, I got that instances of the federated network are not very stable and may easily misbehave for some time. This is why even for an ordinary user a need to figure out a cause of a problem occurs more often than when using corporate services, backed by 24x7 support...

AndStatus@Mastodon (andstatus@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 28-Mar-2018 05:28:38 UTC AndStatus@Mastodon @amiloradovsky Aha, by "intuitive" UI you mean "like in another application that I used for years"? :-)
What's _your_ example of intuitive social networking client for "power users", for Android?
...It came to me that "power users" (like "business users") don't actually need "intuitive" application. They need it to do what they want and are ready to adapt...

AndStatus@Mastodon (andstatus@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 25-Mar-2018 04:25:24 UTC AndStatus@Mastodon @FuzboleroXV Generally, you are proposing to group #hashtags with the same meaning. These hashtags could be different forms of the same word, abbreviations, different spellings, including spellings in different languages; and even synonyms. Actions with the #HashTagGroup will be like shortcuts for each #hashtag in the group. E.g. tagging, subscribing or viewing.
?!
I expect that some users would like to group hashtags differently, so these groups will be user-defined. -
AndStatus@Mastodon (andstatus@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 19-Mar-2018 15:59:00 UTC AndStatus@Mastodon @FuzboleroXV Smart server side filtering may be too resource hungry. Maybe it's OK to use simple queries / hashtags plus follow people, who post interesting things at least sometimes... and apply smart / different filtering of that data locally, being able to find what you want without additional requests to servers?!

AndStatus@Mastodon (andstatus@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 18-Mar-2018 14:59:31 UTC AndStatus@Mastodon @LeeteqXV No, "CW" as other implementations of a note's "name" (title) is not supported yet, I'm just adding it to #AndStatus data model. I also plan to add an option to collapse note's content, if the note's name is present (as #Mastodon users are accustomed to this...)

AndStatus (andstatus@loadaverage.org)'s status on Friday, 30-Mar-2018 16:04:24 UTC AndStatus @xrevan86 I noticed that I don't receive any subscribed updates from #Mastodon via #Loadaverage instance for about 16 days already :-(
Any comments? -
AndStatus (andstatus@loadaverage.org)'s status on Tuesday, 27-Mar-2018 15:53:06 UTC AndStatus @coolboymew In upcoming v.38 I will make #AndStatus post pictures even without any text... but also both with a text and a Title (for #Pump.io and #Mastodon that support title / note name)

cool_boy_mew (coolboymew@freezepeach.xyz)'s status on Friday, 23-Mar-2018 19:33:55 UTC cool_boy_mew @andstatus Yup, just found it earlier
Thanks
This version is actually quite usable, I like it a lot now
But there's still the issues of cannot post pics without text =P -
cool_boy_mew (coolboymew@freezepeach.xyz)'s status on Friday, 23-Mar-2018 14:02:21 UTC cool_boy_mew The new Andstatus is so much better, actual timelines and notifications
However, any button for "Fuck whats currently synced, go to the top" I follow too much people and theres like 2000 new posts an hour. I dont care about what I missed -
AndStatus (andstatus@loadaverage.org)'s status on Friday, 23-Mar-2018 18:36:32 UTC AndStatus @coolboymew Yes, we do have "Go to the top" menu item in the Navigation Drawer - left sliding panel. https://loadaverage.org/attachment/4129741 -
AndStatus (andstatus@loadaverage.org)'s status on Friday, 23-Mar-2018 15:46:26 UTC AndStatus @lnxw48a1 "No mention that the "Interactions" timeline is ONLY available in combine-all-your-accounts view, where you're likely to reply using the wrong account"
This is incorrect. "Interactions combined" timeline is a required one, so it is created by default. If you need NOT-combined timeline, you should:
1. Select Combined timeline first
2. Switch to account, for which you need new timeline (via Navigation drawer on a left side)
3. Turn "Combined" checkbox off in the same Navigation Drawer.
Voila, now you have a new not combined timeline for the selected account (or for its Social network). Go to "Manage timelines" menu item and change visibility and syncing options of this timeline. Or even make it the Default timeline...

Once or if you initiated its sync. Please go to "Manage timelines" and make sure checkbox is cleared in the "Sync" column of your Friends timelines.

AndStatus (andstatus@loadaverage.org)'s status on Friday, 23-Mar-2018 05:42:23 UTC AndStatus @lnxw48a1 Seven hours to fully complete upgrade? - Your device is really slow... but you are lucky: I spent at least 200 hours developing v.36 and 37 of #AndStatus, so having v.37 installed on my devices took me a lot more efforts :-)
Seriously, since last summer internal data model of AndStatus was mostly redesigned (inspired by #ActivityPub) in order to open a way for future major improvements. No wonder that these changes affected most of the application's features.
I tried to allow existing users (including you) to preserve existing data and not simply tell them that the new version requires uninstall of a previous one (that way I would save a manweek or two of my time). But after upgrade you may need to adjust something yourself (e.g. Manage timelines). If you don't want to bother with settings, just reinstall AndStatus and see it running much faster. Of couse :-)

AndStatus@Quitter.no (andstatus@quitter.no)'s status on Thursday, 22-Mar-2018 16:34:11 UTC AndStatus@Quitter.no @lnxw48a1 Please read #AndStatus Change log. It is inside application in the menu -> Help, and here: http://andstatus.org/changelog.html
In particular, Mentions timeline is replaced by Interactions...
Regarding slow work right after upgrade: this is expected, because after main database modifications several long running "data fixers" are started, which fully complete the upgrade.

AndStatus (andstatus@loadaverage.org)'s status on Wednesday, 21-Mar-2018 15:47:14 UTC AndStatus @lukaso666 Thank you for your feedback. I'm constantly trying to make #AndStatus more powerful and more intuitive to use.
But I value it as a tool for a power user more than a toy for a novice... Ideally it should transform / adapt for both kinds of users, but it's hard to achieve this in one application...

I personally often find it useful to be able to read the whole conversation... lookup names of participants and even copy text from other notes while technically replying to the single note. But I agree that Editor, designed for Android 4, should be reimplemented now having Android 7+
I don't know how exactly yet...
