Research how Tumblr and Twitter handle this, specifically in the case where the comment chain forks (for example, Alice comments on the original post and then Bob comments on the original post rather than replying to Alice's comment).Sponsor 6 usability improvementshttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/2393Convert blog posts and comments to HTML when composing2023-03-15T12:34:52ZakwizgranConvert blog posts and comments to HTML when composingWhen a blog post or comment is written, do a simple text to HTML conversion before storing the post.

For example, wrap the text in a `<p>` tag, convert line breaks to `<p>` tags, and convert URLs to links. This should fix #689 and should make links clickable in blog posts and comments (except for posts/comments written before this feature was implemented).
This is meant to be a simple alternative to #421 or #1038, as we haven't made progress on those more ambitious tickets.Sponsor 6 usability improvementshttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/2392Use separate buttons for reblogging (without comment) or commenting on a blog...2023-03-15T12:34:52ZakwizgranUse separate buttons for reblogging (without comment) or commenting on a blog postSponsor 6 usability improvementshttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/2390Design UX for contextual help2023-03-15T12:34:52ZakwizgranDesign UX for contextual helpDesign a way of making contextual help available throughout the app. It should be possible to draw the user's attention to the fact that help is available in a given context, without interrupting their work.Design a way of making contextual help available throughout the app. It should be possible to draw the user's attention to the fact that help is available in a given context, without interrupting their work.Sponsor 6 usability improvementshttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/2389Research how other apps handle read receipts2023-03-15T12:34:52ZakwizgranResearch how other apps handle read receiptsResearch how other messaging apps handle read receipts:

* Does the user have to allow read receipts to be sent in order to request that contacts send read receipts?
* Is the user informed if a contact allows read receipts to be sent to the user?
* Is the user informed if a contact asks for read receipts to be sent to the contact?
* In a group chat, is it possible to see which users, or how many users, have read a message?

Usually this only applies to NavDrawerActivity, because it's on the top of the stack when the user signs out. But if Briar's killed without signing out, other activities may be on the top of the stack when the user relaunches Briar.
Some of our lifecycle callbacks start operations that could throw exceptions if the user isn't signed in, as in #1482.Android 1.4https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1366Segmentation fault while signing out2021-11-04T11:03:42ZakwizgranSegmentation fault while signing out* Android version: 8.1.0

Briar wants to add support for adding contacts remotely without them having to meet face to face. Before implementing this feature entirely, Briar wants to test an early design prototype to see if users would understand the workflow.
An APKs for testing (which can be installed along-side the official Briar) is available here:
* https://grobox.de/tmp/briar-add-contacts-remotely-user-test.apk
Test Setup: Two testers both install the same test APK on their Android phone. Without being in the same room, they try to add each other as contacts in Briar. The test finishes and succeeds when a new contact was added on both phones. Note that the contact that will be added is fake and purely for testing. While it will appear to be online, you will never be able to exchange messages until the feature is fully implemented.
Please finish the test **before** reading and answering the questions below!
---
### Questions (for after the test!)
1. Did you understand the difference between the two options for adding a contact and which one to choose?
1. When seeing the 'Add a Contact' screen, did you know what to do?
1. How did you exchange the links?
1. Were there any issues when exchanging the links?
1. After entering your contact's link, did you understand what happened?
1. When testing the full version, did you understand the QR code button? Did it confuse? Did you use it?
1. Were you confused about the delay before the contact was added?
1. Is there anything that would have helped you to understand the process better?

I was also having bad luck with the new phone requiring multiple factory resets which again require the initial Briar setup again and thus I have decreased my use of it a lot.

This is probably some new power management hijinks from Huawei/Honor.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/2453Implement forums API endpoint for briar-headless2024-03-18T14:32:57Zre tiolusImplement forums API endpoint for briar-headlessThe API endpoint for forums is not fully implemented, it is possible to list forums but not to accept an invitation, this should be implemented.The API endpoint for forums is not fully implemented, it is possible to list forums but not to accept an invitation, this should be implemented.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/2452Suggest editing documenation to reflect that Briar portions can work over Eth...2023-11-02T16:22:54ZBrad KaralSuggest editing documenation to reflect that Briar portions can work over Ethernet LAN (other layer 1/2 media) and not just WiFiWhen reading the documentation, I, and others I spoke with, found the terminology about underlying network infrastructure that could be used a bit inconsistent.

Most of the docs list "WiFi", but the mailbox app page or some other page says "WiFi direct", which is not the same thing. That makes it sound like it only works with Ad Hoc WiFi connections. Another documents says "LAN", which of course might also mean Ethernet and other wired/wireless infrastructure, and not just WiFi.
I had to guess, and then test, to figure out I could my mailbox on an Ethernet connected device and my Briar app on my smartphone (LTE/WiFi).
I was very glad that it worked, but I'd like to suggest that the docs be changed to make them more clear/consistent around this subject.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/2451Automatically delete old RSS posts2023-10-18T17:03:39ZakwizgranAutomatically delete old RSS postsA user suggested that old RSS posts should be deleted automatically to improve performance.
