   To those of you who use #yaics ( https://gitlab.com/stigatle/yaics/ ) , what can I do to make it better for you?
   If you have suggestion about new features or improvement - feel free to let me know. I will start developing on it again now shortly, there is some items in the issue tracker that needs to be fixed.

      @stigatle Just installed #Yaics, looks nice so far. Keeps asking me to restart after changing preferences, but seems to work fine when I don't. Is there a !Yaics in the !Fedgroups?

         Hmm. Clicking on the #Yaics tag takes me to the browser. Sort of defeats the purpose of using a standalone app. Feature request: Intercept hyperlinks, and make targets on GNUsocial instances appear in the Yaics UI. @stigatle

            @bobjonkman @stigatle Where does #yaics run? Android? GNU+Linux desktop? I ask because I stopped using the Android #Diaspora app #Dandelion because clicking a link that led to another instance meant that Dandelion tried to log into the other instance (and in the process, forgot my account info on the instance where I have an account).

               @lnxw48a1 I'm running !Yaics on an #Ubuntu #Mate destop (laptop), but I understand from https://quitter.se/notice/2759049 that there is an N9 build. Don't know if there's a generic !Android APK for Yaics

               @bobjonkman GNU+Linux desktop \ Windows. (yaics has nothing to do with diaspora.)
               
               All tough I use diaspora my self, currently with the 'diaspora native web client' app on android, works very well there. I tried the dandelion app - but I did not like that one, so that's why I use 'diaspora native web client' app instead for that.

                  @stigatle @bobjonkman Yeah, I just used that as an example of how intercepting links could go wrong. I haven't used #Yaics yet, but I'll probably try now.

               @lnxw48a1 @bobjonkman @stigatle Ask for "Lost my password" and use a web browser, diaspora* mobile version is nice.

            What do you mean with 'make targets on GNUsocial instances appear in the Yaics UI'?

               @stigatle When I click on #Yaics I'm sent to a browser to follow the link. I'd rather see the list of tagged messages in Yaics itself. Same for all the links that appear in Yaics. Of course, links that go to a non-GNUsocial site can still go to the browser.

                  @stigatle This is more than trivial to implement. Before deciding how to render a link, Yaics might have to send a probe to the destination to find out if it's a GNUsocial instance. If yes, then fetch the contents and display in Yaics. If no, then send the link to the browser. It might be possible to build a cache of hosts that discovered to be GNUsocial, so the probe doesn't have to be sent every time.

                  @bobjonkman ah yes, Ill fix that. Its a easy fix, works similar to the code used for getting the conversation timeline. Ill start on that tomorrow.

                     @stigatle Wow. I've used !Yaics for less than four hours, and already the developer is fixing things for me. I love #FreeSoftware and Free Software developers!

         Some settings needs a restart to properly initialize, that is something I want to fix. It's mainly related to switching theme. What you mention about clicking tags is true, it does open in the browser, it should rather open in a new timeline for that tag. That has been written in the bugtracker here - https://gitlab.com/stigatle/yaics/issues/8 , I'll prioritize that task.

      Hello. I also installed the Windows nightly version. I will tell you if I find something.

      Accessibility for the Orca screen reader would be AWESOME! :) Also sound alerts via configurable soundpacks would be great too.
