oh, don’t forget about the timeline sync 🙂 I‘m totally in that camp as well. Also, including highlighted text and the website title in the share sheet 😉 //cc @Miraz @vincent

@otaviocc Can you be more specific?

@hutaffe Hmm, except timeline sync... I'd love to add that extra data to the Share sheet, however for some reason it doesn't come through in the data (only the text) – so maybe I am missing something. Was that an option in the past that I missed?

@otaviocc Ah, pinch to zoom?

@otaviocc Arghhh, that's not supposed to be in there!

@otaviocc Sorry that setting shouldn't be there. Looks like I committed it to the develop branch by mistake. I'm working on Wordpress posting options and that was the start to make it happen. I committed before with a new component to handle this.

@otaviocc Can you add a GitHub issue for this please?

@vincent good question 🧐 I thought this was working at some point (maybe looong ago), with a preformatted post. The link title was the title of the page and the selected text was put in a blockquote. But maybe I was dreaming, or the iOS API changed? A quick search just found parsing the page with JavaScript in the docs. You’re the expert though 😅✌️

@hutaffe … wait… Apple… documentation? I must be dreaming.

Thanks for pointing me in that direction! Maybe something we should explore to heighten the usefulness of the extension.

If you select text on the webpage, and “share” that text, it will add a Markdown quote to it… but no URL.

@vincent it probably was working years ago and nobody checks the Radars about it being broken since a decade or so 😉

@mikehaynes It should adjust the text size based on the iOS system setting. If we need another option on top of that, will need to wait until later. (Lots of stuff was moved to 3.1.)

@hutaffe You'd think they would pass that data to you, because I get an array of data, but within it is only one object (which is the text and the content type). Maybe I set something up wrong... I know nothing 🤣

@mikehaynes If you can send some examples of how that looks particular on your device, then that helps. Including if you have options set for larger iOS/Android text size.

Still. Waiting. Patiently. 😆

@manton mastodon posting is there already?

it does for timeline but just sent feedback in TestFlight

New posts have very small text Replies have slightly bigger text

Timeline is based on iOS settings

(Not sure if replies have all the markdown stuff either yet?)

@birming Highlights will come in the 3.1 update. It's on the list.

@adamprocter We're using the new "native" Text input for the post screen, that includes syntax highlighting. Replies still uses the normal one, which has a different font size. We'll tweak as we progress. Thanks for the feedback!

@otaviocc Yeah, just working on Wordpress and Micropub (and IndieAuth). And those options are the gateway for that 😋

@vincent ah ha just seen this thanks.

@adamprocter ✌️

@eshwarnag It doesn't directly post to Mastodon from the app, but instead the Micro.blog backend can copy any post to Mastodon via the cross-posting settings.

how are the Markdown shortcuts supposed to work? After pressing one, should the insertion point get moved between the two asterisks or underscores? Or, do I need to manually move it?

@kevrodg Right now the buttons assume you've selected the text you want to make bold or italic, and then it will just wrap the text. We need to adjust this for when text isn't selected.

If I don't have any text selected, when I press the double asterisk button the app adds four asterisks to the body of my post. Is it a wanted behaviour?

Personally it seemed more correct to insert only two asterisks, write the text I want to render in bold, and then press the "**" button again to close the tag.

This is a screenshot I took from version 3.0 (310):

@cesco I agree, this is something we need to update.

ooh; really forgot about the TF version of this. Will jump in on this to offer future feedback
