The user seemed to see less need for the feature after it was explained that this feature does not help against adversaries who also receive that message, because they can always retain it despite the self-destruct timer. Most users might not know that and get a false sense of security from such a feature. However, testers still found it nice to be able to let messages delete automatically in case they are forced to enter their password or somebody gets hold of their phone unlocked.Self-destructing messages2021-01-31https://code.briarproject.org/briar/website/-/issues/24Add RSS feed to briarproject.org/news2020-11-19T10:09:13ZbafoobarAdd RSS feed to briarproject.org/newsIt would be nice to be able to receive news from briarproject.org via briar itself using the RSS component. :)

...The point is that people who have f-droid installed, but haven't added the briar repo (which presumably will continue to have beta releases for testers) will 1) see briar in the list of apps and 2) be able to install it with no effort.
This depends on #783, and then requires getting a build description added to f-droid's configuration.

I just built and installed Briar after being absent for a while. I see there's a preference for using tor never, on wifi, and on cellular. That's great for some, but doesn't address my problem. I realize there is tension with UX and complicated config, but given that having a HS is very very costly power wise, and outbound tor is somewhat costly, I'd like to see a config for "Use Tor when not charging" that is "no, outbound only, outbound and inbound". This would probably let me start running briar, and I suspect would let others do so as well.Android 1.1Torsten GroteTorsten Grotehttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/429Explain that QR codes can not be scanned remotely2018-06-12T11:32:26ZTorsten GroteExplain that QR codes can not be scanned remotelyAlmost all people that I showed Briar to asked my to post my QR code into another chat app or to go into a WebRTC room to show my QR code in a webcam.

- On two devices that are linked (I used Nokia 3.2 Android 10 for Briar and HTC E9 Android 5 for Mailbox) I open the mailbox status screen on each device.
- Then on briar I tap the unlink button and immediatley after (almost at the same time) I tap the Stop button on the mailbox side.
**Expected results**
This is a bit of a corner case, and not very likely to happen, but in case it does, the expected result should be graceful handling of this situation - either the wiping complete screen should be seen on the mailbox side, or mailbox stopped.
**Actual result**
Mailbox gets stuck in the Stopping Mailbox state[unlink_and_stop_button_together.txt](/uploads/01bc05f817f642e8fb97117654f106bb/unlink_and_stop_button_together.txt)
