Weeks 10 & 11 report

[personalizedrefriger]

I didn't post a status report last week! This report covers weeks 10 and 11.

Week 10

• Published js-draw - npm
• Enabled spellcheck in the Android beta editor: PR #6778 (merged)
  • Long-pressing a misspelled word gives suggestions on iOS, but misspelled words aren't underlined. I was able to get the red underlines to show up by adjusting HTML in Safari's developer tools, but haven't been able to do this consistently.
• Migrated Dropdown, ScreenHeader to TypeScript: PR #6763 (merged)
• Added long press tooltips: PR #6758 (merged)
• Factor duplicate WebView-related code into an ExtendedWebView class: PR #6771 (not merged)
• PRs opened earlier (including #6737 (fix app reloading on screen rotation on some devices), #6731 — enable long press menu on iOS) were merged.

Week 11

• Allow disabling spellcheck in the beta editor: PR #6780 (merged)
• Update ESLint and Typescript: PR #6774 (not merged)
• Sync status icon: PR #6785 (closed without merging — automatically syncing before closing the app/powering off the device would be ideal)
• Published joplin-plugin-freehand-drawing: Forum post
• The markdown toolbar pull request was merged!

It is great that the markdown toolbar has been merged, it looks fantastic (not to mention the other things like the tooltips

I was going to mention something about how the toolbar treats formatting a highlighted word to strong emphasis differently depending on whether you press I -> B or B -> I but that is actually accurate to how the desktop app does it anyway.

The drawing library and plugin are really quite interesting as well, I'll certainly be keeping my eye on those.
