This release is packed with groundbreaking features, performance enhancements, and user interface refinements, solidifying Tuba’s position as a leading platform for navigating the decentralized web. Version 0.10.0 represents months of dedicated effort by our team and the invaluable contributions of the open-source community.

Introducing the Next-Generation Post Composer

At the heart of Tuba v0.10.0 lies a completely redesigned post composer, engineered for unparalleled ease of use and advanced content creation capabilities. We understood the need for a more intuitive and powerful tool to express yourself within the Fediverse, and this new composer delivers on that promise.

Enhanced Rich Text Editing

The new composer features an enhanced rich text editor, enabling you to format your posts with bold text, italics, headings, lists, and more directly within the interface. This eliminates the need for cumbersome Markdown syntax for basic formatting, allowing you to focus on crafting your message.

Seamless Media Integration

Media integration has been streamlined, making it easier than ever to attach images, videos, and audio files to your posts. The composer now supports drag-and-drop functionality, allowing you to quickly add files from your computer. We have also integrated with popular image hosting services, enabling you to easily embed content from external sources.

Advanced Poll Creation

We have significantly enhanced the poll creation functionality. You can now create polls with multiple options, set expiration dates, and even allow multiple votes per user. This provides a powerful tool for engaging your audience and gathering valuable feedback within the Fediverse.

Improved Accessibility Features

Accessibility is a top priority, and the new post composer includes several features to improve the experience for users with disabilities. We have implemented improved keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and adjustable font sizes, ensuring that everyone can easily create and share content on Tuba.

Seamless Web Browsing with the Integrated In-App Browser

Tuba v0.10.0 introduces a revolutionary feature: an integrated in-app web browser. This allows you to seamlessly browse web content directly within the Tuba client, without having to switch to a separate browser window.

Enhanced Contextual Navigation

The in-app browser is deeply integrated with the Tuba client, allowing you to easily share links and content from the web directly to your Fediverse posts. When you encounter a website you want to share, simply tap the “Share to Tuba” button to instantly create a post with the link.

We have significantly improved link preview generation, providing richer and more informative previews for websites you share. The in-app browser automatically fetches metadata from the linked website, including the title, description, and featured image, to create a compelling preview that encourages engagement.

Enhanced Security and Privacy

The in-app browser is built with security and privacy in mind. We have implemented robust tracking protection measures to prevent websites from tracking your browsing activity. The browser also supports HTTPS encryption and provides options to clear your browsing history and cookies.

Customizable Browser Settings

You can customize the behavior of the in-app browser to suit your preferences. We have included options to disable JavaScript, block third-party cookies, and set your preferred search engine. These settings allow you to fine-tune your browsing experience and optimize for privacy and performance.

Effortless Information Retrieval with Search History

Tuba v0.10.0 introduces a highly requested feature: search history. This allows you to easily access your previous searches, saving you time and effort when looking for information within the Fediverse.

Efficient Search Recalls

The search history feature automatically saves your previous search queries, making it easy to quickly recall and re-execute them. This is especially useful when researching complex topics or tracking ongoing conversations.

Organized Search Management

We have implemented tools to manage your search history, allowing you to clear individual entries or clear the entire history at once. This gives you control over your search data and helps maintain your privacy.

Personalized Search Suggestions

The search history feature also powers personalized search suggestions. As you type, Tuba will suggest relevant search terms based on your past searches, making it even easier to find what you’re looking for.

Numerous Refinements and Optimizations for a Superior User Experience

Beyond the headline features, Tuba v0.10.0 is packed with numerous refinements and optimizations that contribute to a significantly improved user experience. We have focused on addressing user feedback and improving the overall stability and performance of the client.

Improved Timeline Performance

We have made significant improvements to timeline performance, resulting in smoother scrolling and faster loading times. This is especially noticeable when viewing timelines with a large number of posts or media content.

Enhanced Notification Management

Notification management has been redesigned to provide more granular control over the types of notifications you receive. You can now customize notifications for specific users, hashtags, and activities.

Streamlined Account Switching

Switching between multiple accounts is now easier than ever with the streamlined account switching interface. You can quickly switch between accounts with a single tap, without having to re-enter your credentials.

Updated User Interface

The user interface has been updated with a more modern and intuitive design. We have refined the color palette, typography, and layout to create a more visually appealing and user-friendly experience.
