     @amiloradovsky Advanced problem diagnostic tools in #AndStatus are not for developers only, unfortunately. Answering lots of questions like "Why I don't see new posts in my timeline" during several years, I got that instances of the federated network are not very stable and may easily misbehave for some time. This is why even for an ordinary user a need to figure out a cause of a problem occurs more often than when using corporate services, backed by 24x7 support...

     @amiloradovsky Aha, by "intuitive" UI you mean "like in another application that I used for years"? :-)
     What's _your_ example of intuitive social networking client for "power users", for Android?
     ...It came to me that "power users" (like "business users") don't actually need "intuitive" application. They need it to do what they want and are ready to adapt...
     ?!

     @amiloradovsky Regarding #Mastodon's "visibility".
     I plan to implement this in a unified way using #ActivityVocabulary, so the feature could be reused for different social networks. Using the vocabulary, "visibility" means, which groups of users will be able to see the note/activity: Public (all, even unauthenticated), "Users of this instance" etc. or no groups at all and only concrete list of recipients (this is close to "Private" timeline).
     Not sure about proper indicators...

     @amiloradovsky "This toot (reply to own reply, a follow-up) didn't contain any mentions by default (feature?)" Yes, this is done deliberately :-)
     Regarding CW (Note name in #ActivityPub terms) - I'm testing this now for #Mastodon and #Pump.io and plan to release...
     The keyboard doesn't disapper, when switching or screen rotation, if Note editor is active.
     I mentioned "business users" in a context of users' need in "intuitive" UI, not about #AndStatus in particular :-)

     @LeeteqXV I also noticed that there are too many automatically created timelines. I will add some quick way to (automatically) delete unused timelines... Did you notice that Manage Timelines table may be sorted by any column?
     Thank you for willing to help. For the start you could look at what improvements we already discussed at https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues?q=is%3Aissue+sort%3Aupdated-desc

     @amiloradovsky "the message text entering area doesn't support word completion"
     This looks like some incompatibility. I do have words suggestions on my devices...
     "AS may any time strip away e.g. the double newline paragraph separation — I'm having hard time justifying that behavior" This is really controversial, I agree. I added this long ago fighting with unintended blank lines...

     @amiloradovsky This is natural Android behaviour: I didn't change anything here. After update the "ChangeLog" screen _is_ the first activity, and in this case going "Back" means exiting the application. This is how Google recommends to work with "activities" (I.e. don't change natural order of activities...)
     I understand you, but I'm not sure that "Back" to Default timeline would be more intuitive for an ordinary Android User...

     @amiloradovsky I have word suggestions in my two hardware devices by different vendors and different Android versions, and in Android emulator also. I use Default keyboard apps. So maybe it makes sense to file a bug to your keyboard's developers?!

     @AndStatus
     Got it. Seems to be exactly that.

     Apparently AS has most of the features, found in the other clients, but… buried under the pile of a context menus! — Like in order to use it efficiently (or use it at all) one has to read a few hundred pages long Operation Manual… as if it were an elaborate industrial equipment :)

     I also like the colored "dependency graph" of a conversation. — Cool feature.
