Is it possible for Voyager to have buttons for bold, italics, insert link, etc., in the composing screen?

    Is it possible? Yes.

    Will voyager support them? Depends on if the creator wants them or if someone implements them.

      Thanks for the response! I can manage fine without them but was just curious. That’s why I didn’t bother making this a feature request kind of post.

      I’m enjoying this app very much. :)

        I mean… If you want it you can make a feature request. I don’t think it’s a problem to ask. Other people may want it too.

        This take is like, why not learn all your contact numbers, instead of using a contact app lol.

        Why? Markdown is very easy and quick to learn and it’s useful to know since it’s widely used

          No. No it isn’t. Not for the average user. UX is not “what is easy for me.”

      That would work if each service didn’t use its own flavour of markdown.

        Markdown is reasonably standard… Just not implemented correctly… Or the same everywhere… Kinda like json.

        Of shit maybe you are right.

        They don’t diverge that radically, methinks. At least for the basics italicize bold

        block quotes

        links

        I have found that to be true for underlining (- or _) and highlighting, which I would like to use more but it always switches between = and ~ signs
