testing the app we noticed that the maincam got a bit noisy and so it doesn't scan the code.

It would be great if it can list all Briar contacts near you (using Bluetooth) and just offer a public chat. So it would be easy to get in contact. Or to built-up a group in closed rooms without internet connection or so (class rooms).https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1031Do not use the share icon for group member adjustions2020-11-19T13:59:27ZrugkDo not use the share icon for group member adjustionsYou currently use this icon for adjusting the members of the group:

That is bad as semantically this icon on Android means to open a share menu to share something (a link or so) with another app or user. That is not what it does in this case.
So you really need a different icon. E.g. you could just use the already existent membership screen and just add a button for the admin "invite new user". There is no second button needed at all. This just confuses the user.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1020Links in chat are not clickable2017-12-06T12:30:59ZakwizgranLinks in chat are not clickablehttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1017Add sdcard external storage support2020-11-19T14:30:34ZlharkAdd sdcard external storage supportHello,

If I understand the idea of briar correctly, all the messages/blogs that I'll ever receive will be store locally on my phone.
However, as a non-negligeable number of other users, my phone has a very limited internal storage available (400Mb), and I fear that using briar regularly will slowly fill up that space until I either unistall the app or I becomes unusable.
I know there are ways to force installation of an app on the external storage, but this solution amounts more to a hack and doesn't guarantee that the app in question will continue working correctly.
I see two solutions to this problem:
* make briar in its entirety movable to the sdcard
* add an option to chose between internal and external storage.
If that's relevant, my phone is running CM11 (android 4.4)

This is because the setting only determines whether we turn on Bluetooth. Once it's turned on for whatever reason, we always use it for connecting to contacts regardless of the setting. We should either change the behaviour or change the way the setting is described.akwizgranakwizgranhttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1000Testers had to pair phones via Bluetooth to add each other as contacts2020-11-15T10:50:05ZakwizgranTesters had to pair phones via Bluetooth to add each other as contacts* User feedback: "Took us some time to figure out that we have to first pair our phones via Bluetooth before trying to add a contact."

Thx for your great work! I really love Briar!
I tested the Blog function of Briar and want to give you some feedback (from my point of view).
Is it possible to group the blog entries in some way? E.g. username -> blog entry -> comments? The current implementation, where I can see all entries of all my contacts in chronological order is in my opinion really confusing. Also the fact that each blog entry is repeated with each comment is too much.
I really would appreciate that I can see a list of my contacts, click on one contact and see a list of blog entries from this contact, click on a blog entry and can read the contents and the comments.
If you have a lot of contacts with lot of blog entries and lot of comments, the phone is constantly notifiying about new entries. I think this will be eventually really tedious.

Each top-level post starts a new topic. The author picks a subject line for the topic. Descendents of the post that started the topic don't have subject lines of their own.
Within each forum, we show a list of topics. These can be sorted by recent activity, so inactive topics fall to the bottom. Subject lines provide a summary of the topics currently being discussed. The user can open an existing topic or start a new topic. Within each topic we show a threaded view like the one we currently use for the forum as a whole.
The aim is to allow parallel conversations to happen within a single forum, while making it easy to navigate between different conversations or focus on the most interesting ones. Subject lines make it easy to collapse inactive conversations down to a summary.
The main disadvantage is adding another level of navigation. The distinction between the forum list and the topic list might not be clear.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/878Let contacts know that we've removed them2020-11-19T15:54:55ZakwizgranLet contacts know that we've removed themCurrently we don't tell contacts that we've removed them - we just stop connecting to them and close any connections they make to us, since we no longer recognise the tags.

The main advantage of the current approach is that we can remove contacts tactfully: the contact can't necessarily tell whether we removed her or whether we just haven't signed in recently. However, if the contact sees us posting to forums, blogs or private groups, she may be able to tell that we've removed her. A second advantage is that we can immediately delete all state relating to the contact. Removing all *identifiable* state is important - it's the equivalent of forward secrecy for the social graph. But removing *all* state is just convenient.
The main disadvantage of the current approach is that the contact wastes battery and bandwidth trying to connect to us indefinitely. Depending on the transport this may expose metadata (#62). These problems will get worse over time as users accumulate defunct contacts.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/815When Bluetooth can not be enabled QRCode loads forever2020-11-21T12:45:30ZTorsten GroteWhen Bluetooth can not be enabled QRCode loads foreverMy Sony Xperia Pro test phone seems to have an issue with Bluetooth at the moment.
