Offline support

[orschiro]

Hi @baedert,

I am wondering whether corebird provides an offline feature? Will corebird save my tweet when composing it while having no established internet connection, and send it later once a connection has been established?

Thanks for your comment!

Regards,

Robert

No :)

@baedert

Thanks for your quick response.

It would be really cool to have such a feature. I guess I am not the only person frequently travelling while having an idea to share but lacking access to internet.

Is it technically possible to keep posts as draft (scheduled)?

[baedert]

Technically possible, of course. I'm not such a big fan of scheduling them (because of all the possible corner cases) though. Do you forget them otherwise or is it just convenience? We could also add an indicator to the compose button (similar to that in the sidebar) when unsent drafts exist.

damnit, that commit has nothing to do with this issue of course m(

More convenience.

This is a very good idea. I would prefer that even over the scheduled sending. I just want to have a possibility to create my thoughts while being offline.

Thanks ahead if you could implement this feature!

Two more questions:

1. Do you want to save multiple drafts? (Or is just saving+restoring the compose text view content enough)?
2. Do you also save drafts if you have an internet connection anyway?

Thanks for continuing your work on this!

Multiple drafts would be a useful feature.

Do you also save drafts if you have an internet connection anyway?

I don't think that this is generally necessary as tweets consists of such short messages.

Heh, still haven't implemented this, but master now at least keeps one written tweet around if you click Cancel instead of Send.

Hey @baedert,

That’s great news! Thank you so much for keeping this request in mind.

Warmly,

~Robert
