@octoshrimpy - thoughts?

[octoshrimpy]

just got home from a wedding across the country. Are you thinking about email-like folders in the left sidebar? maybe colors, a tag top-right per convo on main convo screen?

Hope you had a great time! Sorry for pestering.

My thought was either to have it at:

• the bottom, like Organiso (https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24735099/102793099-6b27e500-43cf-11eb-8a3c-36cb41eb7ee9.png)
• the top, like SMS Organizer (https://www.windowslatest.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/SMS-Organizer.jpg)
• the top like Google Messages, before they killed the functionality (https://9to5google.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/04/google-messages-read-list.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1024)

Maybe there could be a setting to switch between top and bottom. (My preference would be a bottom bar/selector)

Also, the hope would be that the app would try to automatically classify messages, similar to Organiso and SMS Organizer. I was hoping the GitHub links in the first post might help in the implementation.

Thank you, @octoshrimpy ! What is the ETA for the release that might contain this feature?

@octoshrimpy - I saw this message and wanted to clarify this enhancement request. https://github.com/octoshrimpy/quik/issues/8#issuecomment-2644117946

This request is actually to have quik automatically classify messages, similar to Organiso and SMS Organizer. Since SMS Organizer does this locally/on the device without any external connections or anything, it should not breach privacy, right?

From Google Play SMS Organizer description: "SMS Organizer, a Microsoft Garage project, is the smartest of all SMS apps. It automatically organizes your inbox, sets reminders and keeps track of them, all this magic happens on your device safely, without any of your personal data being uploaded anywhere online."

If this is not acceptable, the request to be and to create our own categories and then manually move them should be sufficient.

Thanks!

On SMS Organizer, a user designates threads to be in the different categories, not by message. So it should be non invasive to allow the user to tag or categorize threads with the specific taxonomy.

In the US because transaction messages have to come from a specific number than promo, a user can easily tell the app:

55555 - goes to Transactions 77777 - goes to promos 10digits - goes to personal or main inbox

And if something changes, the user can flip the setting to switch the category of the thread. It'd be similar to archiving a thread, instead of archive, it just auto moves it into a folder.
