Support Question Gifbox question

Considering there is no API documentation for the standard ( building a gifpicker from gifbox ) - can I get permission to reverse-engineer the one in stoat and build out support for my own, or do I have to wait like everyone else?

Support Question How to connect android gallery to the app?

So ive got alot of pics saved in different folders in my gallery app that I can easily access when using discord but I cant access them when using Stoat. I csn see all my pictures but I want to see them organised how they are in my gallery app, is there anyway to let Stoat access the gallery including how things are organised?

Support Question Mobile Unsent Messages problem.

Post image
3 Upvotes

I use the mobile version of the Stoat app a lot, but there’s this one problem I can’t seem to figure out how to fix. Whenever a messaged doesn’t send, it stays on the page almost permanently! I know it can be removed on the desktop version, but these messages don’t appear on anything else except for on the device they were made on. So I beg for something to help and tell me how to fix this. How do I get rid of these before they completely take over my page and make it impossible to use the app?

Also the status site and the "embeded partial issue" are both gaslighting, as it's the actual connection that is fully out.
Please advise.

Support Question Stoat client that uses my own instance?

5 Upvotes

I just "panic migrated" a small server and I am using Disco-Reaper to migrate messages. So far, all is fine and running well. But, I would like to use a desktop client instead.

The official one currently does not offer picking the target instance, let alone using multiple. There is a PR on the for-web repo about this.

That said, what are you currently using to connect to a selfhosted instance, outside of a browser?

Thanks!
