Hexbear Proposals chapo.chat matrix room.
This will be a place for site proposals and discussion before implementation on the site.
Every proposal will also be mirrored into a pinned post on the hexbear community.
Any other ideas for helping to integrate the two spaces are welcome to be commented here or messaged to me directly.
Within Hexbear Proposals you can see the history of all site proposals and react to them, indicating a vote for or against a proposal.
Sending messages will be restricted to verified and active hexbear accounts older than 1 month with their matrix id in their hexbear user profile.
All top level messages within the channel must be a Proposals (idea for changing the site), Feedback (regarding non-technical aspects of the site, for technical please use https://hexbear.net/c/feedback), or Appeals (regarding admin/moderator actions).
Discussion regarding these will be within nested threads under the post.
To gain matrix verification, all you need to do is navigate to my hexbear userprofile and click the send a secure private message including your hexbear username.

It's also developed by Desslines, a comrade and lemmy dev
It's also written in Kotlin which is kind of a dope programming language that I wish was used in more places.
Seconding Jerboa. Only real complaint is that it doesn't support Hexbear custom emojis.
word for word what I was gonna post.
My ass will actually go out of my way to log into hexbear in Firefox when I really wanna use an emoji lol.
I have also done this
have the PWA installed solely for that reason
Real but I just save the ones I use most as images
I started using Thunder after someone suggested it and it works really well for me. They even fixed something when I posted in their comm so that I could have vote totals hidden but still see what I've upvoted.
Does thunder support emoji?
It doesnt have a picker but it does and they render at the appropriate size.
Thunder is the most polished app. The design is really good.
I use Voyager, I like its interface. However, it doesn't normalize emoji sizes so some are HUGE. It also doesn't have an emoji picker either.
I stopped using the apps because none support the Hexbear emoji picker. I just use the PWA now(install through the menu in your browser). The only thing I miss is being able to configure individual font sizes.
Firefox mobile / PWA works best for me, there's no real reason for me to move to an app
I use jerboa and just remember the colon codes for emotes
But it doesn't convert them to images after the fact, though, does it? That's why I have never used that method.
:cat-confused:
They do show as images for users on browser, but not for users on jerboa.
I'll be damned. I had to see it for myself, but you're right.
Eternity on android is pretty solid
Jerboa, it is modern, FOSS, and easy to use
Voyager is working really well for me
