Possible to Get more Metadata on the Messages?

Open josiahcoad opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Hello,

The app works well although I noticed there is not much metadata about the messages that could be useful for my appliations. Namely, it would be nice to get

  • the name of the sender rather than just 'Friend: '.
  • the datetime of each message.
  • any other metadata that can be parsed would be also helpful

Is it possible to get this? Thank you.

Not the maintainer, but the name of the sender isn't stored in the database at all and the texts show up as 1| for yourself and 0| for your friend so replacing 0| with "Friend: " will probably be the only solution unless the maintainer can throw in the phone number or email.

There is actually a lot of metadata available, the relevant metadata would probably be date (unix time), date_read). If I have time I'll make another PR.
