Overview

Tusky

Tusky is a beautiful Android client for Mastodon. Mastodon is an ActivityPub federated social network. That means no single entity controls the whole network, rather, like e-mail, volunteers and organisations operate their own independent servers, users from which can all interact with each other seamlessly.

Features

Material Design
Most Mastodon APIs implemented
Multi-Account support
Dark, light and black themes with the possibility to auto-switch based on the time of day
Drafts - compose toots and save them for later
Choose between different emoji styles
Optimized for all screen sizes
Completely open-source - no non-free dependencies like Google services

Testing

The nightly build from master is available on Google Play.

Caching toots - attempt 2

I've tried to rebase #663 but it was branched from another branch and it is too old so I failed. Instead I've cherry-picked last 5 commits from that branch which seem to contain useful changes. I did not try it yet because I'm out of energy already but it can be useful for someone to inspect or fix.

2019 Emoji Update
Since Emoji 12 came out some months ago, the Emoji fonts need an update.
However this was not possible with the old code, so I added an update mechanism.
Additionally, I also finally added support for the current Noto Emoji set.

The update mechanism works as follows:

For every font there is a version string specified and the fonts will be saved under <font-name><version>.ttf.
If no font file is found that includes a version string with a version code which is at least as much as the currently specified version of the font, it will show the font as not installed anymore and the user will be able to download it again; if that's been successful, it will delete all font files that have an older version code in their name.
Users will of course still be able to use their own preferred font by simply appending a very large version code (e.g. BlobmojiCompat99.0.0.ttf).

The version codes are not supposed to be included in the downloadable version; the app will simply the latest available version and tag it as a new one; while this allows a faster deployment for updated fonts, it might be possible that a font is downloaded twice.

Current issues are:

I'm currently not able to test it, since I don't have a Mastodon account anymore

I don't have the Twemoji font ready yet and I'm not sure whether the 12.0 update is already available for the EmojiCompat version of Noto Emoji (I won't build that one myself; Google probably knows better how to build a font for their own library) - for testing purposes you could temporarily change the download URL (if you want to test an Emoji 12 font, I have added it to Blobmoji some days ago).

The updating mechanism is not very good. To change the emoji font to one where an update is available, the update needs to be downloaded first. It might even cause crashes if the app is not restarted, because the old font which is still used is deleted - however I don't think this will happen.

Add autocompletion for custom emoji

Closes #398.

Maybe it'd be a good idea to add more tests?

I don't have much Android experience, so I might not be doing everything in the best way.

(Don't worry about the low resolution of the ":mastodon:" emoji, that's just what it looks like on that instance.)

Option to use Emojione instead of system emoji

Particularly on older phones that don't get the latest OS updates, the newer emoji characters render as sad little boxes. The art style and visual meaning of the emoji can also be lost in translation between icon sets sometimes.

The Mastodon web client uses EmojiOne

"Gaslight nazis" mode, for nazi instances
Heya! I'd like to see Tusky add a "gaslight nazis" mode, a ML-based mode where all toots are replaced with pro-human-rights messages and can't be boosted or liked (because you don't know what the original toot said). This would be a good alternative to redirecting gab users to another website. It would generate posts like:

"Trans rights!"

"Queer trans POC are good! <3"

"I love my gay parents! ! !"

(etc)

and deterministically replace the posts' contents with one of these messages. note that the original sender details would still be kept.

Thank you <3

Theming improvements

These patches make easier to add new themes in future. It also leverages UiModeManager functionalities to allow automatic switching between day and night mode based on local sunset/~rise times.

I've tested these patches on Oreo 8.1 and they work flawlessly.

Push notifications support via UnifiedPush

Fixes #793.

This is an implementation for push notifications based on UnifiedPush for Tusky. No push gateway (other than UP itself) is needed, since UnifiedPush is simple enough such that it can act as a catch-all endpoint for WebPush messages. When a UnifiedPush distributor is present on-device, we will by default register Tusky as a receiver; if no UnifiedPush distributor is available, then pull notifications are used as a fallback mechanism.

Because WebPush messages are encrypted, and Mastodon does not send the keys and IV needed for decryption in the request body, for now the push handler simply acts as a trigger for the pre-existing NotificationWorker which is also used for pull notifications. Nevertheless, I have implemented proper key generation and storage, just in case we would like to implement full decryption support in the future when Mastodon upgrades to the latest WebPush encryption scheme that includes all information in the request body.

For users with existing accounts, push notifications will not be enabled until all of the accounts have been re-logged in to grant the new push OAuth scope. A small prompt will be shown (until dismissed) as a Snackbar to explain to the user about this, and an option is added in Account Preferences to facilitate re-login without deleting local drafts and cache.

[Feature] Add support for collapsible statuses when they exceed 500 characters
Description

Supports showing a button to collapse/expand long posts. Fixes #748.

Features

Toggleable by the user

Limit set to 500 characters (like Pleroma and other existing implementations)

It works in:

Timelines

Notifications

It works by:

Showing a custom button below the content

Hiding the button if the post is CW-ed until content is shown

Concerns

The way it was implemented has proven to be potentially expensive if more and more features will be added overtime to the timeline. This is mostly the fault of the current design within Tusky, which reloads layouts rather than just content.

A possible solution would be to redesign the core data models to store a full and a compressed version of the content but that would require extensive rewrite of several parts of the codebase which would not need to know about it, again, due to how Tusky's codebase is designed.

It has not proven to be an issue on my Nexus 6 (Lineage OS 15.1), OnePlus 3 (Lineage OS 15.1) and Moto G (1st gen, LineageOS 14.1) yet so I did not want to enforce the feature so deep into the internals of the application.

Screenshots

Video of the feature is available on Imgur, due to restrictions with file types allowed on GitHub.

Move translations to a dedicated utility

Managing translations by hand is doable for now (e.g. #212) but it's quickly going to get out of hand. We should figure out what translation management service works best for such open source projects and migrate the actual translations process there. Besides saving a lot of work and mess this will also make it easier for non developers to contribute.

[Friendica] Navigation to hashtags / profiles doesn't work?
Using Tusky for talking to Friendica, it seems both hashtags (#) and accounts (@ mentions) are somehow "mixed up": They appear as links in the app but they don't toggle profile or hashtag view in the app (as they do while using Mastodon) but apparently are full HTTP URIs pointing to (profiles) the user profile URL on its home instance or (hashtags) an URL to search the particular friendica instance for these hashtags. Sample:

In this case, for my instance, clicking on "photo" will get me to https://instance/search?tag=photo . Is there some way in Tusky to work around this? Seems it's a Friendica specialty yet still it would be cool to have this work well. :)

Convert "title case" strings to "sentence case"

Tusky mostly uses (correctly, per Android style guide) sentence case (i.e., a single initial capital letter) in strings like "Scheduled posts" or "Muted users".

But there are a few instances of title case (i.e., each initial letter is capitalised) that have crept in ("Account Preferences", "Log Out", "Follow Requests", etc).

Convert them to sentence case.

UX: Use the normal UI text size for items in lists (preferences, menus, etc)
There's a few places in the UI where the user's preference for post text size is being used, and I suspect it shouldn't be.

[Alternatively, there are a bunch of places in the UI where the user's preference for text size is not being used].

This is most obvious if you set the post text size to the smallest value.

For an example of what I think lists should look like, open "Account Preferences > Filters > Home". If you have any filters set then you get a list of the words that are filtered, the layout is simple_list_item_1.xml, which sets

android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceListItemSmall"

on the TextView.

Or open "Preferences > App Theme", and see the list of themes in the same text size. Same for "Preferences > Language", etc, etc.

Places where this is not done are:

item_followed_hashtag.xml ("Account Preferences > Followed Hashtags")

item_hashtag.xml (search for a hashtag, and look at the list of results)

item_list.xml (ListsActivity, from the "Lists" entry on the navigation drawer)

item_picker_list.xml (ListSelectionAdapter, created from TabPreferenceActivity, "Account Preferences > Tabs")

item_tab_preference.xml (TabAdapter, also TabPreferenceActivity)

item_tab_preference_small.xml (TabAdapter, also TabPreferenceActivity)

Changing those to to use

android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceListItemSmall"

would be straightforward, make those lists consistent with other lists in the app.

As an aside, this would also fix some inconsistencies in the colours used for list items as well.

Feature: DM warning
Just noticed that the web UI shows the following warning when composing a DM:

Posts on Mastodon are not end-to-end encrypted. Do not share any sensitive information over Mastodon. Learn more

That seems like a good idea to include in the app, with a link to the server's privacy policy if possible too.

Mark older posts
In the spirit of the social aspect of Social media I prefer to interact with recent posts on a personal level.

I. e. it is normally a bit awkward to reply to a Sunday's post "What are you planning today?" on Monday.

Therefore I always have to check very ardently the age of a status.

Desired feature It could be useful to indicate older posts. Maybe even with two colors for "hours old" and "days or years old".

Feature request: Expanding a CW in notifications tab could expand other CWs from the same thread
Sometimes you make a post with a CW and people reply to it, and now your notifications tab looks like this:

In threads we have an 👁️ button to expand them all at once, but this is not present in the notifications tab.

When I posted about this, one user pointed out that Metatext on iOS is smart enough to identify when several tweets come in in one thread with the same CW, if you expand one you probably also wanted to expand the others. Around the same time two separate people who did not appear to have knowledge of the Metatext feature spontaneously proposed the same feature. So maybe this is a good idea.

Or maybe the notification tab should have 👁️
