Fix the AppImage, Deb and Snap packages for Linux.

It would be dope to have reddit chat also available.

Whatsapp has had a recent web update meaning that it will not work with Chrome versions under Chrome 60. The useragent string needs updating aswell as the Electron dependencies for this project.

The remote module is becoming deprecated in Electron as IPC is proven to be safer and more efficient. The codebase can be easily switched as the preload.js file can be altered so that it uses IPC rather than the Remote module. No React code has to change.

While doing maintenance on the code for adding the TouchBar support, I've realised that the data layer could be improved. Currently, everything is stored in a state variable which is very poorly optimised. Also, I cannot read this data from the main process. To combat this, I am going to be rethinking how data moves through the app.

Hopefully, the next version should be easier to maintain and so forth.

Describe the bug
I get the "Error loading Twitter" message and a blank screen every time I tried to open it. I have no problem on other networks so far though.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior (for me):

1. Open the app
2. Open the Twitter tab

Expected behavior
show the Twitter website

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 Home
• Version 20H2

Check to see if Socially works with Windows 11 and if everything works as expected.

I would like to have support for Element and Wire. They both have webapps. :)

Make an app service to ping notifications, even when the app is closed.

As requested by @Biggy1606, Signal will be added to the 1.0 release.

Hi,
The next version of Socially will be built with React. I attempted to build my own manager to handle the different application states but I just think React is the most sensible option. It is a pain to get working however, I think I have a good method now.

It would be nice if Socially has a Signal Messenger Support.

Add support for the touchbar on MacBooks.

Because there are lots of animations, remove them with a toggle which is set to the system default.

Error loading Twitter Message

Hi,
Thank you for downloading Socially. There is an issue with the Twitter tab. Twitter is not appearing in the <webview>. I am not sure whether the <webview> is working properly or it is another issue.

EDIT: After a bit of debugging, I have finally discovered the issue. The issue is due to Chromium loading guest content in a strange way. Chromium is trying to swap the browsing instance when the Cross Origin Opener Policy but that doesn't work with the <webview> as its not supported. I have determined that it is an Electron issue and when a commit is merged to fix this, I will rebuild the binaries.

It would be a nice improvement if the app had a button for forcing dark/light theme.

Adding support for V8 Snapshots to make the app quicker

Although Apple Silicon is still able to use Socially through Rosetta, other ARM devices may not work.

I don't know how possible this will be but I'm thinking of switching the code to Typescript rather than just JavaScript.

When using the native titlebar, the menu isn't removed. I need to probably edit this in the electron.js file.

While I was using Instagram on Socially, I opened a reel sent to me in DMs. After that, I realized that I have no way of going back to the DMs.

It would be great to have a back button, probably at the title bar, to go back in history. And optionally, a refresh button would be a nice add-on.

As a workaround, I either have to refresh the app (ctrl + r) or click on the home/DM icon at the header of the app itself, and it works fine, but having a back button would be handy (as it will preserve the context in which we originally were). Using this method, I have to go back to the DM/post all the way through again navigating.

I am using v1.0.

Hi,
The title bar is currently behaving strange under certain circumstances. I am going to work on a fix as soon as possible.

At the moment, Socially doesn't prompt users that they are not connected to the internet. Some apps install service workers and continue to load their app but it is very hit and miss. I would rather create a system where it detects if your are connected to the internet and displays a view which tells you that you are not connected to the internet.

Hi,
Please create a new issue for any new socials you would like to add.

Currently I have these planned:

• Teams
• Reddit
• Twitter

The ability to keep the app running in the background but minimised/close to tray would be great
