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

mihael

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

@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.

@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

Thank you for your reply, and sorry for my late reply.

What I recall having done is disconnecting my account from the greeline menu, I dont recall the exact button name. But when opening the app it proposed me to make the association again with a whatsapp account

then I have found a solution to the problem:

rm  ~/.config/systemd/user/greenline.service

The file was left on the system.

I hope to have more time later to do more testing, but right now it's a bit complicated!

Thank you for your work!

@mihael Thanks for the screenshot, that's expected for now, it will only allow selecting for messages that has reactions to be seen. Once we fully support reactions, you'll be able to use it to send reactions aswell.

@pparent Thanks for reporting, I think I was able to catch your bug, should be fixed in the last release.

@brenno.almeida There is also this heart that appeares now when the other person reacted to my text (circled in red) - so I can see now their reaction:

I have a small nitpick feedback

Using the send button to send a message doesn't really feel good. The message just kinda goes and i find myself pressing the send button often because I have the idea that it either doesnt send immediately or sends with a delay. Also no feedback when something is being sent.

other than that, it works great!
