Over the last weeks I have added more functionality to the knitting swatch management android app SwatchIt. You can now use your gauge to calculate stitches, rows and lengths. The app can now calculate a gauge averaged over the entered measurements and you can add a photo of your swatch (that was actually the first user request I got, thank you! 🎉😊).
Download the app on F-Droid:

And let me know what you think! 💚

@jonathan859 I take it back, this is possible (for anyone looking for this, `setTaskDescription`). This doesn't change the visible title, but it does change what Talkback reads out.

So, what would be useful to use here?

Depending on the state I thought one of:

- Replying to (name)
- Quoting (name)
- Writing post

(Talkback automatically puts "Pachli" before each of those)

Anything I've missed?

2. You're writing a post, a notification arrives, and you tap the notification to view it in Pachli. Previously this would open your notifications and the post you were writing was lost. Now the notification is opened in a different task, and you can switch back to continue writing your post.

#Pachli Current now lets you set your account-level preference for who can quote your posts.

Open Account Preferences, and it's in the "Publishing" section, per the attached screenshot.

WIL:

• setting up android sdk without android-studio is a pain.
  • I manage to do it with the cmline android tools
  • Still can't make the emulator to work for some reason
  • you need build-tools, ndk, platform-tools, the platforms themselves. I think the system-images is only needed for the emulator
• you have to sign your apps to be able to make a release build
  • use keytool to make a keystore. Don't use the mdp you always use for everything
  • on related note I need to figure out how to use the keystore without putting the mdp in Cargo.toml
• the size of the main window needs to be flexible
• googledrive is the easiest way I found to transfer and install my app on my phone (it didn't want to install it from my phone file system)

Now in #Pachli Current: viewing the "detailed" version of a post (the one you see after tapping on it) now shows -- next to the number of boosts and favourites -- the number of times the post has been quoted (if this is your post, Mastodon doesn't let you see this information for posts written by others).

Tapping that number will show you a timeline of those posts so you can see how you're being quoted, and, optionally, remove your quoted post from them.

The #quoteposts support in #Pachli Current continues.

If someone has quoted one of your posts you can now remove the quote from their post.

The attached screenshot shows the new "Remove quote" button on a quote of one of the posts from this account.
