Since this app probably wont be on Google Play anytime soon it'd probably be a good idea to check for new versions at launch and prompt the user to update.

It's just all sorts of broken when sending a message without getting an immediate read response

Personal profile fails to load.

Don't know if this just isnt implemented yet or not.

Straight forward, tapping a message notification should open the app to the list of messages of the user that has been tapped. This needs to work both while the app is open and closed.

A user dialog for if you long press contacts.

Sorta like the personal profile only instead it shows whoever you long clicked on.
Maybe showing the worlds they're in aswell

Neos uses a simple HTML-like markup language to format text. Currently all text-displays just show these markup instructions and do not apply the proper formatting. In theory these formatting instructions can be parsed as HTML, however existing packages that display formatted HTML do not work properly since Neos uses custom tags that are not part of the HTML standard, for example <color>.

At the moment you can only send text messages from the app, but the ability to send voice-messages and maybe even images is theoretically possible.

From what I can tell (this is likely inaccurate) the way Neos uploads media assets like this is by creating an entry in the local database and then syncing it to the Neos API using an internal protocol. The message that gets sent through the chat then contains the neosdb:/// record of the new database entry.

Now there are three options on how to implement this:

1. Emulate the entire Neos DB interface to be able to create true neosdb records. This is probably the hardest option, since I personally have no idea how the Neos DB works. If it uses an open source protocol that is easy to use and implement then let me know.
2. Check if the Neos API allows uploading assets over http. Looking at the decompiled Neos CloudX.Shared.dll, there appear to be some functions that allow uploading assets (UploadAsset(), BeginUploadAsset() etc.), however I have not figured out yet how those work and if they're applicable to our usecase.
3. Since Neos doesn't care if an asset URL is a neosdb:/// or https:// link, when sending an asset we can simply upload the file over http elsewhere and send that link instead.

Currently leaning towards number 2.

Should just be a case of adding TOTP: <6 digit code> to the auth header.

Need to refresh the order of the friends-list without fetching a new copy from the server to avoid rate limiting. This requires #8 to be implemented.

Can probably just use https://pub.dev/packages/dynamic_color for this

Messages can come in and be visible as unreads in the friends-list but then tapping on the friend will not show the new messages.

Would it be possible to get the material you Icon for pixel (and whatever else can use it) devices?

Messages display incorrect time from my system time i.e: 2:00 is 9:00. I'm not sure if it's the app or something else?

Maybe having small text in the corner or next to the display name of the account saying [Headless].

In the status portion of the API the output device shows if it's a Headless.

Maybe this could also be used to identify everyone.

As title says, the Headless icon only shows when it is in non hidden session (See images below)

Deciding if a given user is currently a valid friend is unreliable.
In the "Find Users" interface the button to add or remove a user as a friend can indicate the wrong state. From what I can tell there is no direct endpoint to check friend status so we need to instead check if the current user is part of the list of friends retrieved on the main screen, but this seems to fail sometimes and show the wrong status.

Instead of showing just an error when refreshing fails, show the cached list of friends.

I'm a big fan of being able to preview sessions by image. It would be very nice to "look" around a session, similar to how Neos already does this in-game.

I propose this feature be added as opt-in, with a setting to toggle this on and off.

*I've also considered the possibility of using phone gyro to look around? I also propose we use this thread to discuss this here

Currently the app does not check for new unread messages while it is closed.
This can be implemented by using the workmanager plugin which is already a dependecy, but the functionality has not yet been added.

Ability to use Away and Busy states.

Just looks kinda bad right now lol.
