"this software has expired

i understand you want dev or preusers update fast the software
but this is quite a strong way to push for it that to block the app completely
it look to much to a license expired message or a closed source software, which is not a good feeling
but maybe this is your own decision that i have just to accept :)https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/343Explain why password is too weak2018-06-11T10:15:17ZakwizgranExplain why password is too weakTesters wanted to know the minimum requirements for passwords.

We could solve this by showing "password is too short" if it's below a minimum length, "password is too common" if it's on a blacklist of common passwords, or "password is too simple" if it's neither too short nor too common but the strength estimate is low due to insufficient variety of characters.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1117Button doesn't send message in landscape mode2018-06-11T10:57:20ZakwizgranButton doesn't send message in landscape modeWhen editing a message in landscape mode, the text field and keyboard expand to fill the screen.

A "done" button is shown next to the text field, but it doesn't send the message or have any other effect. Closing the soft keyboard shows the send button, which works as expected.
The same thing happens for blog posts, but not for the password screen, where pressing "done" submits the password.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1019Contact list empty state message doesn't fit on screen2018-06-11T11:17:16ZakwizgranContact list empty state message doesn't fit on screenA user reported that the contact list empty state message doesn't fit on their screen because their system font size is set to be quite large.A user reported that the contact list empty state message doesn't fit on their screen because their system font size is set to be quite large.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/987file transfer2018-06-11T11:21:09ZKarl Hedderichfile transferIs file transfer a feature that is planned?

After a while the notification "49 new forum entries" appeared, but shortly thereafter the screen went dark and the device became completely unresponsive for around 10 seconds. After that the user was able to activate the screen again but the Briar notification was gone and seemingly the service had either crashed or was killed by the OS.Milestone Chttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/502Forums: remember closed nested discussions2018-06-12T11:32:23ZErnir ErlingssonForums: remember closed nested discussionsCurrently, when a user enters any forum the whole forum tree is open, i.e. there are no branches closed.

One user had already closed off some branches (by pressing the chevron) but was annoyed that it was re-opened the next time he entered the forum.
I understand the resentment and am for storing the visibility state of any forum. We might need to improve the UX though when a user receives a message in a branch that he has closed. Right now the discussion branch is re-opened in that case but this feels like the wrong approach at the moment. Closing a discussion branch should maybe be seen as a way of muting that discussion and we should perhaps be much more passive when it comes to displaying messages in muted branches.
My suggestion: We don't re-open closed branches automatically when new messages in those branches are received but rather display some indicator that the closed branch contains new messages.
Then there are the notifications, should we display a notification for a new message on a "muted" branch ? I'm torn on this subject and can find arguments for both. Perhaps just best to keep it simple for us and display them regularly ?https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/478Forum: improve new entry highlighting2018-06-12T11:32:24ZErnir ErlingssonForum: improve new entry highlightingNew forum entries are currently only highlighted, with direct scrolling via the snack bar, when the user already has the respective forum screen visible.

A user got a new forum entry notification for a forum with a lot of entries, opened the forum but had no idea where the new forum entry was due to the non-linear nature of the forums.
This is simple in private messaging because the latest entries are almost always at the bottom but we really need to show the user better what forum entries he hasn't read yet.Milestone Fhttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/477Private messaging: Text bubble and header overlap2018-06-12T11:32:24ZErnir ErlingssonPrivate messaging: Text bubble and header overlapYour text bubbles and the header have a same color and will overlap when given the chance.
