New Arcticons release!

#Sad. Hoped I'm missing something :(
Thus, I can't #install their #AndroidApp yet.

They say something here (proton.me/support/lumo-privacy…), but maybe they only speak about the #LLMs used, and not the #apps. Are they playing that old #trick of saying “It's #FOSS!… partially.”?

Hope they don't 🙏

@RaccoonForFriendica This weekend I took some time to investigate how much work would be needed to build an iOS version of the app, and it turned out that at least building and running a basic version of the app is doable with some minor changes (see here).

What do you think about it? Would you like to see a Raccoon on iOS too?

I'm looking for #recommendations for #mp3 player apps for android, specifically for music.

I have multiple apps for playing audio, but they either won't play local files or it would be clunky to do so. Search engines give me sponsored listicles written by someone who hasn't even tried the app ("it has good reviews in the app store."). I'm not sure how we got to the worst timeline.

@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.4.1-beta11 has been released yesterday and is available for testing.

Its "latest and greatest" are:
- tags in post headers in your timeline (if that post is included due to you following one orore hashtags);
- new post detail layout which makes it easier to view relationships between posts and replies and load more replies on demand.

The initial depth of nesting (higher values imply loading will be less performant, lower values imply you'll see more often the "load more replies" button due to threads being partially downloaded).

It is the best I can do with the current Mastodon APIs but it looks ok-ish and, which is more important to the user who asked for this feature I guess, it makes it easier to follow conversations.

Let me know what you think, and if I accidentally broke anything and in the meantime, as usual, #livefasteattrash

@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.4.1-beta10 has been released and is available for testing in the Play store (or in Obtainium if you prefer installing directly from GitHub)!

Apart from the usual localization and dependency updates, this version contains several improvements for embedded images and, if you are using Friendica, you will also be able to insert embedded images within your post body (as opposed to regular attachments). This can benefit those who want to create larger posts with several illustrations.

Let me know what you think about it and, as always, #livefasteattrash

@RaccoonForFriendica I'm seeing a lot of new users from Google Play's statistics, even if the app is not yet in the production channel. Welcome everyone, I hope you'll enjoy #friendica and #raccoonforfriendica!

Thanks to all the translators who continued to work on the app UI and store description, your dedication is really appreciated. @Fitik @Cătă @TamilNeram @Ricky-Tigg

To old users, I've added two new big features: swipe navigation which allows you to navigate between posts from the conversation detail and the "shortcuts" section, where you can explore other instances and see their local timeline "as if" your were registered there. Plus, as usual, small fixes and enhancements listening to your continuous feedback.

Have a nice weekend and #livefasteattrash

@RaccoonForFriendica We finally did it: we got access to the production channel on Google Play! A big and heartfelt "thank you" to all those who participated in the closed test program, without you this would have been impossible! 🦝❤️

The latest beta has been promoted to the "open testing" track, so that now everyone can become a tester and install the latest beta, which is a preview of the next stable release.

I'll wait until I improve notification support, so probably there is another month or so to wait. Keep an eye on the issue tracker to know what I'm working on, just in case 😉

To try the app, you can become a tester using this invitation link.

Your feedback is important, and now you'll have Google Play's reviews as an additional way to express your opinion. Let me know what you think and always #livefasteattrash

The #Pixelfed client #Pixelix is now available in the official F-Droid repository🥳🥳

f-droid.org/packages/com.danie…

#OpenSource #Android #AndroidApp #fdroid

We got some feedback about #Pixelix lately that login is not working on pixey.org and pixelfed.fr.

Turns out that this instances are returning some data as an array, while all the other #Pixelfed instances are returning it as a string.

We already fixed the problem and are shipping the fix with the next update. I will let you know when it's online.

This is not the first time we encountered such a phenomenon. Therefore it is all the more important that you are letting us know when you experience some bugs. We just cannot test all instances and are happy about any feedback. Thanks!
