The grant from the Prototype Fund
ended in February, however, there is one last big mega-update I can delight you with before development
on this app must necessarily wind down:
It may not look like a lot, but I basically replaced the whole architecture of the app (#2506, ...)
to do this. Note that this required dropping most local data, such as unsynced edits, downloaded
quests and statistics.
Special thanks to @FloEdelmann for helping with the refactor.
🔙️ Superpowered Undo
-
You can now undo any edit that hasn't been uploaded yet:
quest answers, split ways, deleted places, hidden quests, created notes and note comments (#1029, #2616) - You can now look at your edit history and undo any recent edit in any order, not just the last one
- It is now shown what exactly is tagged for each edit in the edit history
- You can now undo deletions of places even after you have uploaded it (#2441)
⛰️ Improved usability and offline mode
- Immediately unlock new quests based on the one you just solved, even when offline. This has been a much requested feature but was simply not possible with the previous architecture (#1369, #1510, #1550, #1826, #2254, #2438, #2473, #2474, #2676, #2743...)
- The above also works when splitting a way. The quests for the split segments will be shown immediately
- When you scan for quests manually, no cache will be used: you always get the freshest data (#2554)
- When unable to fully upload pictures attached to a note due to a bad connection, the app will try again later (#2102)
