App currently crashes if the server somehow messes up. This should be changed to just displaying an error message or something.

Thread activity has problems either crashing due to not running stuff on ui thread or not setting the appbar title.

Click the button to open a text input with submit button

Service for throwing notifications at the user on new message in thread or threads.

Message cards should be resized on bind to the largest observed size of the WebView.
This should be done to decrease jumpiness when scrolling up.

The notification sound currently plays as if it was a piece of music. This should be changed to playing as a notification.
See class AlarmReceiver, line 118.

Messages should have timestamps just like on the web version

Update threads and messages when list dragged to end

As suggested by Magnus, users should be able to choose whether to be notified:

• Never
• On new thread
• On new message in previously visited thread / On new message in any thread

Reloading a thread with a new message looks like it's opening a brand new activity. Unnecessarily jittery. Possibly find a way to fix this?

Phone currently doesn't vibrate on notifications as it's supposed to. Find out what's wrong, and fix it.

At some point the message order reverted back to being oldest first.

A lot of cool sites have the konami code (up up, down down, left, right, left right, b, a, start) doing something, be it anything. It'd be a pretty rad addition, though not the most pressing issue.

Allow users to upload and submit images

Markdown is currently interpreted every time a messagecard is shown. This makes scrolling through a thread very ineffective.
Potential action: Interpret markdown when adding from asynctask, replace html on bind viewholder

Not easily replicable.
Text seems to wrap on top of itself at times for some reason.
Could have something to do with multiple paragraphs?

Markdown preview in message sender seems broken on real device (Nexus 5). Volvo plz fix

Videos don't show any preview before being played. Fix this

Action for adding new thread with title and text, showing it on creation.

Ways to do this:

• When a single event has taken place, change title to reflect this
  • Could be "New thread created!" or "New message in ..."
• Use freed up space in body of notification for the message or thread text
• Take user directly to the specific thread on click
• Show multimedia?

Let users make and submit drawings, potentially based on other picture

Current icon is totes boring. Would be nice with a little octopus or something like that.

Find a way to add support for videos, music and yt in the markdown interpreter...

Threads should be refreshed when returning from viewing a specific one. Users might be confused by the messagecounter not updating automatically

Message submission dialog could look a lot nicer... How?

• Add button to disable markdown preview.
• Add buttons for formatting.
• Add button for image/drawing addition with autoformat

New installs crash when trying to get id which at that point is not yet available.

Have some way of letting the user know that their media is being uploaded.

Audio recordings are currently recorded and uploaded as amr. This format is generally not supported. It should therefore be converted to mp3 or ogg before upload.

Add length textview and store prev length on device, just like webversion

New messages are not added to the notification counter for a thread when inside it. This causes notifications to display for your own messages

Make image links automatically format as markdown images on paste. Something similar to web version.

Clicking back from a locally created thread navigates the user back to the new thread activity used to create it. This should just lead back to the main activity instead.

The mobile android release and desktop web version displays text very differently, especially copypasta.

Pitchforks android:

Let the user automatically update their currently opened thread

Hi @SilasAlroe , I'm a graphic designer. I have reviewed your project. I want to contribute by creating a new logo/icon for your app and it's free. what do you think?
