[Alpha] Greenline - A qml Whatsapp client for Ubuntu Touch

[ChromiumOS-Guy]

noticed something, there is no date to the messages.
my only note is that you probably want to either have an option in the settings or decide based on account region if to use dd/mm/yyyy scheme or US mm/dd/yyyy scheme.

Hello Brenno,

Could you explain where the deamon is installed? Becaused I notice that when I disable the account inside the app and then uninstall the app, I still have some greenline deamon running, and creating some logs:

Thank you very much!

@pparent did you use the restart button in system settings? If so its a bug that needs to be fixed. That button should remove everything from your system. If you remember, give me more details, I'll try to reproduce it.

Anyway the only file outside the app data/cache/config directory is a unit file in your user systemd directory, you can see it by running sysremctl --user status greenline.service

Hey, getting back to this project after a few weeks of vacation with a small release that fixes some bugs shown from the new crash report tool:

https://github.com/brennoflavio/greenline/releases

I'm also going to start preparing this software for a release in OpenStore. There's a few features missing and bugs to fix, after that, I'll release a beta version and only focus on bugs.

So if you find any new issues please report, so this can be released in a good shape. Thanks for your help and support!

@brenno.almeida Greenline has been working perfectly for weeks. It has everything I need from WhatsApp. Thanks so much for the new update. You’ve more than earned that vacation.

@brenno.almeida Thanks for the work again its fast, reliable, has push notifications. what else do we need xD?

Well ok theres a few features that can be added, but i am sure that will all come when the time is ready

[brenno.almeida]

There's a new release for this app.

https://github.com/brennoflavio/greenline/releases

Changes:

• Support for sending and receiving location messages. Live location are rendered as regular location (only the first update is received) as Whatsapp Web / Whatsmeow does not have full support for live location.
• Finished support for ContentHub, now you can send files and media from other Apps directly to Greenline, no need to open the app first
• Some dead code removal and cleanups, with the new migration support.
• Fixed a bug where clearing data did not delete everything related to the app.

With the new migration system, the app will be slow to open the first time after the upgrade. This happens to adjust the database to the newest code. Should happen only one time, other opens should go normally. This only happens when there's migrations to run, which should be rare after Beta.

This app is getting better and better!

I can see introduced support for messages reactions (like ). The reaction is displayed next to the time of the message and then there is a reaction menu when you swipe the message tot the left - that one does nothing for the moment.

Many, many thanks!

I sometimes check WhatsApp groups or chats after 2–4 days. There are messages from different days.

Currently, all messages have a timestamp. I would like the date to be visible as well.
yyyy:mm:dd hh:mm

[brenno.almeida]

@mihael can you give me more details on that? That menu should show who sent the reaction and which reaction (emoji) was sent. Support for sending reactions is not implemented yet, but planned.

@linus67 Yeah this is known, a better chat is planned with a divider between unread / read messages, and timestamp in messages.

Progress towards beta: https://git.brennoflavio.com.br/brennoflavio/greenline/milestone/1
