Release v1.6.47 - Device Apps Browser and DM Notifications

🎯 Major New Features

Device Apps Browser

New way to explore remote device content

When you click on a device in the Devices page, you now see available apps with public data instead of file collections.

Features:

  • 📱 Automatic app discovery via API queries
  • 📊 Shows item counts (Blog: 3 posts, Chat: 2 rooms, etc.)
  • 🔍 Supports Blog, Chat, Events, and Reports apps
  • 🌐 Multi-transport support (WiFi + Bluetooth simultaneously)

User Flow:

  1. Tap device → See available apps with counts
  2. Tap Blog app → Browse all published posts
  3. Tap post → Opens in browser via station proxy
  4. Tap Chat app → Browse public chat rooms
  5. Tap room → View messages with author/timestamp

Technical:

  • Uses ConnectionManager for automatic transport selection
  • Priority routing: LAN > WebRTC > Station > BLE+ > BLE
  • Automatic failover between WiFi and Bluetooth
  • Transport-agnostic communication

DM Push Notifications (Mobile)

Local push notifications for direct messages

Android and iOS devices now show push notifications when direct messages arrive, just like popular messaging apps.

Features:

  • 📬 Local notifications for incoming DMs
  • ✓ Verification badge for cryptographically signed messages
  • 🔇 Respects notification settings (sound, vibration, enable/disable)
  • 👆 Tap notification to open DM conversation
  • 📝 Smart message truncation (100 chars)
