Reports are now finished in the new @pixelfed mobile app!

This was one of those small but essential todo items.

You may be surprised to know that Apple and Google require the ability to report user generated content if you have user generated content in your app

There are also other requirements, like hiding adult content by default and allowing users to block other users on social network apps.

Looking forward to shipping the app, gosh it's like so close!!!

Pixelfed mobile app report post screen

dansup, 24 days ago to random

One of the challenging aspects of building a federated mobile app is parsing post captions and being able to render them properly

See, when you make a post with mentions or hashtags, mastodon converts it to HTML and mobile apps have to deconstruct that HTML to be able to render mentions, hashtags and links properly

We could just render the HTML, but when you would tap on a hashtag or mention, it would open the browser instead of in-app

Indices and entity maps ftw, thanks backend!

The Pixelfed backend should separate Comments/Replies to it's own table/model

This won't be an easy undertaking, but it will improve performance and enable a better comments API with proper pagination

I will start this process now, as I'm in the middle of shipping the Groups feature which will also require new tables/models accordingly.

I promise it will be done properly, with no breakage

It may seem boring to most ppl, but I love technical challenges like this

I love the simplicity of the new profile layout in the new @pixelfed app!

I moved some info like how old the account is to the menu so we can focus on what matters, your posts!

Edit: Unbordered won! https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112437818096142087 (I liked bordered more, but the people spoke and I listen)

I need your opinion, I can't decide between bordered or unbordered sections, which do you prefer?

Bordered vs Unbordered
