Community Testing Pre-release: Qortal Go

Dev Docs, Clickable Avatars, & Node Status Icon Parity

This is a Qortal-Community test build of Qortal Go (mobile) based on the
current upstream code, plus three focused changes:

  • Clickable chat avatars – user and group avatars in chat are now tappable
    to open the corresponding profile/group info, matching Qortal Hub’s behavior.
  • Node status icon – a visible node status indicator has been added so you
    can quickly see whether your node is connected/synced from within Go.
  • Developer docs – initial DEVELOPMENT documentation is included to make
    it easier for contributors to build and run Qortal Go from source.

⚠️ This is NOT an official Qortal release.
It is a community test build to gather feedback before proposing changes
upstream.

What to test

Focus on chat avatars, node status, and (optionally) the dev docs.

1. Clickable chat avatars

In Q-Chat within Qortal Go:

  • Open a group with active messages.
  • Tap on a user avatar next to a message.
    • ✅ Expect: a user info view/sheet opens (similar to Hub’s user info).
  • Tap on a group avatar (where applicable).
    • ✅ Expect: a group info view opens.
  • Scroll through chat normally.
    • ✅ Expect: scrolling remains smooth; accidental taps on avatars don’t
      "steal" scroll in an annoying way.

2. Node status icon

On the main screens of Qortal Go:

  • Start the app with your Qortal node running and connected.
    • ✅ Expect: node status icon shows a "good/connected" state (green or
      equivalent).
  • Stop or disconnect your node and return to Go.
    • ✅ Expect: icon changes to an "offline" or "warning" state within a short time.
  • If there is a "connecting/syncing" state in your setup:
    • ✅ Expect: icon indicates this "in progress" state.

If tapping the icon does anything (e.g., open a status view), please note the
behavior.

3. Developer docs (optional, for contributors)

If you are comfortable with dev tools:

  • Follow the new dev docs (DEVELOPMENT.md or the dev section of README.md)
    from a clean clone:
    • Install prereqs.
    • Run the dev build.
    • Launch Qortal Go in your dev environment/emulator or device.
  • ✅ Expect: instructions are complete enough to get you to a running app
    without guessing.

How to report feedback

Please report results (good or bad) in the corresponding Q-Community issue:

  • Go parity issue: #4

When reporting:

  • Include:
    • Device model and Android version.
    • Whether you installed from APK or a dev build.
    • Exact steps to reproduce any problem.
    • What you expected vs what happened (screenshots welcome).

If you mention issues in Qortal chats, please also copy a short summary into
the GitHub issue so we don’t lose track of it.

Thank you for helping test this Trifecta parity slice in Qortal Go!
