A private feed said PUBLIC. The composer showed a PUBLIC pill and asked you to confirm that posts are public and permanent before every post; the thread header read PUBLIC FEED; every post row ended in ”· public”. All three were fixed strings rather than the feed’s real level, so they were wrong in the same direction on every private feed, and nothing on the screen could contradict them. Each surface now states the level it knows, and says nothing at all where the device cannot know it.
A picture you have downloaded opens fullscreen, with zoom, pan, and Save. Until now the only way to look at one properly was to save it and leave the app.
Scan QR is offered wherever there is a camera, not on phones alone. A desktop had no way to take a long private-feed code off a phone screen.
A follow that fails now says which part failed — a malformed code, a wrong password, and an unrecognised kind of code no longer share one sentence. A copy that fails says so, instead of doing nothing quietly.
On Android, content no longer runs under the system navigation bar in either
orientation. Selecting several lines and tapping </> produces a code block
instead of collapsing them onto one line. Your codename in the top bar, and the
values in Settings, use the width that is actually there.
The build before this one
0.1.0-alpha.20260804 went out on 4 August and was never announced, because
there was nowhere to announce it. Two things in it are worth saying now.
Deleting a message for everyone reaches people who joined the room after it was
posted — before that, the delete could be lost and the message stayed visible to
them, while reporting success. And you can report a message, or block someone
inside a room without leaving it.
Everything else
The engine underneath is unchanged from the build before it. Everything above is in the app itself. Both builds are unsigned, so the first-run warning is the same one the download page describes.
The download page always hands over the newest build. Android is also in testing on Google Play — the FAQ says how to join, and what it asks of you.
Most of what is above was reported by someone using the alpha. That remains the way it works: support@co-nexx.us, with the version from Settings → About in the first line.
