Hi and thank you all, because with your inputs we have managed to identify more bugs in the #Tusky 25.0 Beta that are going to be corrected soon

These are the new ones:

➡️ Rare racecondition crash in detail view
➡️ Bottom nav avatar is missing content description
➡️ Bug where accessibility actions on posts don't always work (still investigating this one)

Also, Tusky is affected by a minor bug, that makes buttons at the bottom showing cut off

Sorry for the issues and thanks for you patience

Depuis quelques jours, je ne peux plus programmer de pouets sur #Tusky.

Sur la version de base (enfin la beta), l'envoi de mon message patine et me mets régulièrement un message d'erreur. Sur la version nightly j'ai même pas de notif comme quoi le message est parti.

Le problème est que dans les deux cas, dès que je vérifie les pouets programmés, je me retrouve avec le message en dizaines d'exemplaires prêts à être postés au même moment...

@Tusky

I am not sure whether it is a feature just of Tusky or of Mastodon in general but videos loop without pause.

A pause of a couple of seconds before replaying (or a press to replay mechanism) would be more elegant than an unbroken loop in my opinion.

#videos #tusky

#tusky can't edit a toot in place

It can only erase it and republish it anew

On the web interface, toots can be edited in place

#fediverse

Content warning: Tusky project update Click to open/close

Daaamn, I'm tired of people recommending to me #tusky / #tuskyapp . It's UI feels very outdated.

The compose field I type in right now, feels really slow.

Like really.

Hey @Tusky , guys, your "App Theme" options in settings feels very limited: I wish I could change the colors, have ability to make my own theme.... would love to have that fixed.

OR "how I learned today that the Hide Boosts feature does not apparently work in #Tusky"

So... it's not just rendering my avatar that is an issue now @Tusky 👀

Also @noondlyt avatar also glitches (only in Tusky)

@Sibshops Every video I try cannot be played. With #Fedilab for example it works, in #Tusky not. So, it shouldn't be the phone, except Fedilab comes with codecs exclusively for the app, but I doubt it is so. So what else could be the reason? Thanks

Edit: And no, I can't see this video. After pressing the play button it seems it's loading, then comes a black screen with the message "cannot play this video" (screenshot shows the german message) and that's it. Always the same.

#Tusky 23.0 has just been released.

This is primarily a bug fix release after 22.0, although you will also notice a new preference to adjust text size across the user interface.

And while I'm here, in day 8's post (https://mastodon.social/@nikclayton/110566377571465613) I discussed the new #Tusky feature that shows what's changed in posts that have been edited. I should also have credited @nasser, who provided valuable feedback while that feature was being developed, confirming that it worked correctly for text written in right-to-left script.

Day 8: See what's changed in edited posts

In #Tusky v22.0 you can now see what's changed when a post has been edited. Deleted text is shown with a red background and struck through, while new text is shown in bold with a green background.

This is a great example of the collaborative nature of open source. I did the initial work in https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/pull/3314, using DiffX, a third-party library that computes text differences (https://github.com/pageseeder/diffx).

Day 11: Show post statistics in the timeline

#Tusky 22.0 can now show the number of replies, boosts, and favourites posts have on the main timeline.

Previously this information was only available if you tapped on the post.

This is off by default, and enabled with "Preferences > Show post statistics in timeline".

Grigorii Ioffe (https://github.com/zikasak) did this and made their first contribution to Tusky, in https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/pull/3413

Day 10: Accessibility improvements

We made a number of changes in #Tusky 22.0 to improve accessibility

Some users reported that the design of the "Load more" break made it difficult to spot amongst other posts in a timeline.

@lakoja updated the design so that it is more visually distinctive in https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/pull/3376.

The swipe-to-refresh gesture is not always accessible to assistive devices. I added an accessible "Refresh" menu entry as an alternative in https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/pull/3121.

There are two bugs we know about that will be fixed in the 22.1 release, and are already fixed in #Tusky nightly.

1. The mechanism that's used to highlight changes does not work well if the changes run over more than one line. The change highlighting runs off the right margin.

2. Your server might know that a post has been edited, but it does not have a copy of the actual edits, so it doesn't return them. If this happens Tusky will crash. Sorry about that, https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/25398.

`api/v1/statuses/.../history` endpoint can return an empty array on an edited status · Issue #25398 · mastodon/mastodon

Steps to reproduce the problem 1 - search for status On a Mastodon server running 4.1.2 (I used tooot.im), search for the post with the URL https://spore.social/@tamarasiuda/110522895217050705. Not...

Day 9: Account headers

In #Tusky 21 you could view an account and tap the avatar picture to view it full screen.

But you couldn't do that with the account's header image. Now you can.

KWierso (https://github.com/KWierso) noticed this and suggested it should be fixed, and @Tak made the change in https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/pull/3274.

It was also possible for an account's header image to obscure the buttons at the top of the page. I fixed that in https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/pull/3272.

Day 7: Additional filtering controls

Mastodon 4.x introduced new filter options.

New filters have names, so you can give a filter a name that does not include the text you are filtering.

Filters can also be configured to hide content or show a warning.

And a single filter can be used to filter out multiple different words, instead of needing one filter per word.

The new filter support in #Tusky supports all these options, thanks to @Tak in https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/pull/3188
