A month or two ago there was a lot of talk on how to do a proper
interface for redenting/retweeting/repeating posts, but the discussion
seems to have stalled around the time someone actually started working
on it. ;)
Meitar put together a nicely working interface in a work branch, for
which there's a (now slightly out of date) merge request:
http://gitorious.org/statusnet/mainline/merge_requests/1391
I've got Meitar's redent-button branch merged and running on my test
site -- please try it out!
http://status.leuksman.com/
It's working pretty nice and feels very easy and transparent to use. I
do notice a couple of issues though:
1) The original message is wrapped in quotes, which looks good and is
clear... but triggers a bug in our URL detection.
If the URL includes a path (even just "/") the final quote character
ends up included in the link, leading to link breakage.
2) The recycling character we're using as a repeat symbol looks great in
everything I've tried on my desktop Mac... but shows as a big empty box
on my iPhone, both on the web and in client apps like Tweetie 2.
Has anybody tested other mobile devices for font compatibility with this
or other alternative chars?
