Raw Blame History

+++ toc = true autonumbering = true +++

(closeable)

(duplicates)

(maybe closeable?)

#813 split docker-compose deployment into "web" and "streaming" [i.e. separate image for streaming API -- is this relevant to current docker strategy?]
#1298 add custom entries to Getting Started [the motivation was adding a link to code of conduct, although this could be more generally useful outside that context]
#1306 timeline scroll jumps when new posts come in [addressed by slow mode?]
- #1774 timeline scroll jumps when posts are deleted
#3283 composing a long post with overflow will cause jumping on typing
#3369 ctrl+z after posting used to restore the text to the compose box, but now it does not
#3858 allow pinning favourites column and user profile columns [half-fixed -- you can pin favs but you still can't pin user profiles]
#4701 show private posts in hashtag search if you are authorized to see them [closed as "intentional" in #2440 but idk maybe it could be reconsidered]
#4869 filters should apply to emoji [this was filed back when regex filters were a thing, and seems to have been shown to work even back then, so was not reproducable] [small caveat: could extract a feature request out of this for allowing filtering an emoji by its shortcode? but probably not needed]
#5403 reblog url is sometimes null when it marked non-nullable [i think this isn't happening anymore]
#5737 store metadata about relationship changes (when/why) [we have profile notes now so that probably works]
#5896 allow mods to force hide all media from an account [is this the same as "force-mark as sensitive" or is it more like "reject media"?]
#6033 postgres 10 has a long-running query on public timelines? [is this still relevant]
#6064 remote suspensions do not always reach you for followers? [has this been fixed now? issue is from 2017]
#6073 hashtag cloud on landing/about page [is this addressed by trending tags on explore page?]
#6250 don't send email notifications if a notification is seen in an active session [isn't this done by default now? there's a setting to "always send"]
#6321 "quiet hours" mode where notifications are not shown [this is done at the OS level]

(uncategorized)

#482 [retry limit for failed authentication]
#1910 /#hashtag is not parsed as a hashtag (also )#hashtag and _#test) [because it could be a url fragment]
#3166 boost/fav counts out of sync (due to being async)
#3794 [someone is confused why replies are not fetched]
#3964 filter out private posts if you can't see the full context

(needs verification)

#2650 disabling a notification type will cause that notification to be missed; re-enabling the notification type does not bring back the missing notifications during that period in which it was disabled
#2777 browser notifications do not correctly handle mixed LTR + RTL
#2826 drag and drop images from othe browser tab
#2865 empty favourite notification
#3040 registering an app and getting a user token might return data of previous user token? calling /api/v1/accounts/verify_credentials returned wrong user [they seem to be using the password grant, possibly this is related to that?]
#3061 on post with multiple GIF attachments, going to next one will cause it to not animate
#3473 hard refresh needed to see multiple pages of new posts?
#3638 check if post is deleted when clicking reply button; if it is, then remove the post instead of allowing you to compose a reply
#3680 support 3gpp media upload for conversion [seems to have started working at some point? or maybe reproduced?]
#3703 if a mention cannot be processed, the whole job fails. maybe it shouldn't?
#3742 opening a timeline with videos in it can be slow
#3809 long-press to boost without confirmation (when confirmation modal is enabled for boosting)
#3930 wrong import order for SCSS [maybe closeable? idk, needs clarification as well, what triggers this scss and so on]
#3959 rake task media:remove_remote should not apply to posts that have been boosted locally
#3996 sidekiq deadlocks when :concurrency > 1
#4118 repeatedly faving/unfaving will generate a ton of notifications
#4236 Detect if desktop notifications are supported (hide settings for them if not)
#4434 nonbreaking spaces in config/locales are not preserved when rendering HTML [where is this relevant?]
#4573 some posts show up on profiles but not on home timeline [possibly related to #2614]
#4755 more gender neutral language in i18n german translation

#4887 Accept-Language header only supports en, not en-US

#6083 a certain video got stuck on the first frame
#6113 favorite/boost counts take a while to update/refresh
#6139 old accounts deleted manually should be cleaned up [do we have this as a rake task or tootctl cleanup command?]

#6208 if the timeline is full of filtered posts, it doesn't load more
#6329 atom feeds have a CORS issue
#6338 zwsp is wrongly included in URL parser but correctly removed by hashtag parser

(meta)

(clearly actionable)

#1404 OpenAPI documentation [but how to generate it?]
#1487 show out-of-date warning for old servers [how can you tell?]
#2222 require comments/reason on reports [worth mentioning we have categories now which seems partially relevant]
#2668 let users point DNS at existing instance, allow multi-tenancy with custom domains
#3618 reply filtering should hide posts starting with @mentions (even if it's first post in the thread) [basically mirroring twitter and the .@reply notation that was necessary in the past]

#6899 a way to obtain media attachment cdn links again

#6976 allow logging in with username instead of email
#7122 reason should be required on reports
#7127 notify users when they are affected by moderation actions or decisions
#10743 author and show hashtags outside of content
- #7250 [alternatively to above:] hide hashtags at the end of a post's content [though this can change meaning]
#7274 show "post unavailable" placeholders whenever a status exists but is not visible (due to privacy or being deleted)

(vague or inactionable)

#967 unique visual identity for niche instances (better customization or theming)
#1049 better handling for unicode urls (punycode, idn, and so on) as well as schemes/protocols (steam: specifically?) and other encoding issues

#3819 better DM system
#4870 new user experience
#5380 make financial supporters visible [manually? integration with patreon/etc?]
#5515 interest separation + account grouping [seems to be a split between "categories" and "unified timeline"?]
#5553 urls should not be assumed 23 characters
#5686 two stages of following -- unapproved and approved. send public posts to unapproved followers [could be handled with audiences instead?]
#5723 granular post privacy (control whether post goes to public timelines, is available unauthenticated, local-only, etc)
#5774 ability to change your instance domain (LOCAL_DOMAIN)
#6192 scss stylesheets should have more color variables
#6892 reserve usage of #admin tag for users who are actually admins [i don't think this is feasible, but if it were, you might want to have it be variable and admin-defined? but remote users exist, so...]
#6945 disable DMs on an instance level [this makes no sense as-is, unless you have a "public only" mode that rejects anything not addressed to public?]
#6957 default to not sending sensitive field when adding a status [idk what this means]
#6992 rich preview cards don't have enough options? [idk what this issue is really about]
#7114 admins/mods should be able to have a second email for moderation notifications
#7155 temporarily cache following/follower lists
#7164 noindex should apply to statuses even when boosted [but there's no way to apply it to only part of a page...]
#7254 some kind of opt-in or out of "bot interactions" [this needs to be more meaningful imo]

Single-category issues

Admin UI

#146 admin ui for manually creating user accounts

Backend

#701 assume http? for bare domains [link example.com to http://example.com]
#981 import posts (from csv, specifically?) [but could be from activitypub archive]
#1781 customizable character limit / status max length (instead of hardcoding 500)
#2478 allow setting multiple contact/representative accounts for your instance
#3139 keep track of which users and domains are being widely blocked by local users
#3811 automatically rake/prune inactive accounts and delete them
#4296 greylist federation. instances are silenced by default until approved by the admin.
#5972 Rename "always mark media as sensitive" to "Mark media as sensitive by default" [TODO: Low hanging fruit]
#6007 button to generate archive exports on behalf of the user, then email them with a link to that archive
#6031 Full-width japanese period gets included as part of path query in URLs (after the slash). this can break links
#6351 URL renderer / linkifier adds empty span.invisible to the end of many links
#6701 URL ending with period does not linkify the period, leading to a broken link
#6825 empty status with CW should not convert CW to status
#7056 automatically rake/prune old account headers

specific to media

#5204 indicate the file size on failed uploads so that you can better tell why something went wrong
#5619 Suport Alibaba Object Storage as an alternative to S3
#5729 Replace Paperclip with Shrine
#6352 invalid PNG upload returns 500 Server Error instead of 400 Bad Request
#6377 hfr video (240fps) transcoded to normal video (60fps), maybe there should be an option

specific to search

#6287 search for multiple hashtags

specific to signups and new accounts

#877 captcha, honeypot, ip limit, and other antispam measures for registering new accounts
#951 max capacity for registered users (block registration when cap is reached)
#2045 autogenerate default avatars per-user (specifically foxes?)
#5647 add warning to registration form that username cannot be changed

ActivityPub

#4640 activitypub property to signal when you opt out of search indexing (similar to robots.txt or robots meta tag in html)
#4964 use a versioned json-ld @context [currently mastodon just uses the unversioned activitystreams context, but i'm not entirely sure what issues this may cause if any and why]
#5500 human-readable errors on trying to post to activitypub inbox endpoint
#6262 converted statuses should append Hashtags to the end of the status_content maybe?
#6849 deletes are not retried after failure?
#6878 do not fetch only the first attributedTo

REST API

#2048 support Android Intent URIs when registering a client app [currently failing due to use of # in uri; workaround is to register custom scheme in android?]
#5273 API response should include Relationship on each Notification, so that you can tell when a notification came from a follower/following/mutual [arguably you could embed the Relationship on the Account but that might be expensive]
#5492 API for a client app to update its own registered information (such as redirect_uris) using an app token generated from the stored client_id+client_secret
#6040 errors should have a non-localized string key to identify which specific error occurred (can be matched exactly)
#6360 get only ids of accounts from followers/following?
#6549 API to get ids of deleted statuses without streaming
#7020 PATCH update_credentials should be replaced with PATCH settings/profile for more intuitive way of updating profile settings like display name, avatar, header image, etc.
#7021 PUT api/v1/preferences to save new preferences, not just GET existing ones
#7108 get all admins/mods

Streaming API

#3049 websocket streaming api sometimes encodes payload sometimes doesn't [unlikely to be fixed, due to being a breaking change]
#5971 add event for new PreviewCard?

Security

#673 RSS feed for your notifications
#1384 support receiving Webmentions
#2234 Support Micropub for authoring posts (as an alternative to POST /api/v1/statuses)
#3165 Support Mastodon as an OAuth consumer (login by oauth to some other service / single sign-on / SSO?) ["Mastodon includes the omniauth gem ... it should be possible to support sign up through any OAuth service"]
#4569 OAuth authorization code OOB flow should allow using an easier-to-type PIN code instead of a 64 digit hex code. twitter and imgur do this apparently
#4800 Support Mastodon as an OpenID provider (OpenID Connect / OIDC? RFC 6749? IndieAuth is also mentioned)
#5227 Support Atom feeds [previously supported only profiles, but even that was removed in favor of RSS only]

Deployment

#1068 offer a Snap/snapcraft package
#1118 support Terraform from Hashicorp (or chef, or ansible, or puppet, or salt caps)

Profiles

#609 hidden profiles [require auth? "bunker mode"?]
#1040 custom backgrounds
#2295 Forward chronological mode / sorting
#3205 disable or opt out of having a media tab
#4823 some languages like persian use different words for countable form and plural form, but only one string is used for both the count and for the "all posts" tab on profiles.

Web app

#380 multiple account management / account switcher (for tootdeck layout / advanced ui, this implies supporting columns per-account)
#873 font size for larger text
#1471 show account preview on hover
#1955 hash acct/url and pick a distinct color to allow more easily identifying when an account is different or is a homograph and possibly impersonation
#4647 when you hide media that isn't marked nsfw, it should stay hidden persistently (currently it is reshown on refresh)
#6028 poor contrast on the CW and privacy toggles in the compose form
#6034 clarify the difference between "desktop notifications" and "push notifications" toggles
#6035 notification settings are messy and poorly laid out
#6210 show when a boost was made, not just the original post timestamp
#6407 show when there are unresolved reports
#7860 show confirmation dialog before more things
- #3702 show confirmation dialog before posting

specific to advanced UI

#2054 switching to advanced web UI should load "getting started" instead of a duplicate home/notifications/compose column [this seems to be done only sometimes?]

#1765 allow replying inline within a column (like tweetdeck or twitter)
#1860 Preview your post
- #4848 specifically, it is unclear which characters will be included / parsed as a hashtag or mention or URL
#2365 copy hashtags on reply
#3567 mention the booster when replying to a boost
#3903 suggest a CW based on keywords in your post
#5108 add a secondary publish button with a different scope (port from glitch-soc)

specific to emoji

#717 option to use system emoji instead of EmojiOne
#5592 option to not show emoji

specific to authoring emoji

#1908 disambiguate emoji for country flags (maybe sort flags by continent region or geography?) [nightpool: "this is an upstream issue w/ emoji-data"]
#5445 prevent suggesting emoji when typing emoticons (for example, typing :-) should not suggest :slightly_smiling_face: in emoji-mart)
#5498 emoji shortcodes should inherit preferred skin color from emoji-mart
#5808 shortcodes should always be converted to emoji, or perhaps only when selected manually

specific to media

specific to authoring media

#3860 basic image editing (cropping, rotating, etc) in the web app before posting
#6879 focal point is misleading. circled area is not in the center, nor is it fully inside the thumbnail crop. [possibly calculation or rendering of focal point may be bugged?]

specific to notifications

#1483 group similar notifications (consecutive notifications of same type should be collapsed)
#1868 collapse boost/fav notifications to one line only (and text-overflow: ellipsis for the rest) [TODO: low hanging fruit for trwnh/mastomods? or is the current "max height" mod good enough for this?]

specific to onboarding

#2019 relaunch the onboarding tutorial at any time
#3264 show instance info in onboarding tutorial (so that users are aware of rules/etc)
#6867 choose your language filters after signup

nonspecific

accessibility

#1680 line height should be relative to font size, not absolute [TODO: low hanging fruit?]
#3660 better contrast and visibility on button for closing image modals
#3875 "edit profile" link should be easier to tap on mobile [TODO: low hanging fruit]
#4508 better focus contrast / visibility for status action buttons [currently, there is a slight transparent background on focus but no prominent outline like other focused elements] [TODO: low hanging fruit] [side note: the video player has even worse contrast on focus, i legit could not tell it was focused]
#4510 when you focus on a post and expand it, the focus should shift to the detailed status view instead of staying in the column
#6152 larger click/touch target for adding account to list
#6185 error toast notifications should show up closer to the source of the error, not in the lower left corner

performance

#787 garbage collection for open webUI tabs (react redux / state management)
#1379 switching columns on mobile should be optimized
#1469 use SVG icons instead of web fonts

#6702 role badges

staying in-app

#739 edit profile in webUI instead of settings page
#946 "back" button in header should not take you out of the web app (you should remain in-app)
#1399 links to activitypub objects (posts/profiles) should stay in-app [i think this specifically calls out links in profile bios? that might be harder]
- #2136 links in posts (to other posts) should open those posts in-app
- #3185 links in bios (to other profiles) should open those profiles in-app
- #3982 links in bios (to hashtags) should open those hashtags in-app
#3201 indicate that a language filter is active and allow temporarily activating language filters in-app (without going to settings)
