## Updates
- Elizabeth (@elizabUX)
- still multi-level filter
- first tap is linear w/o siblings
- second is whole conversation
- third cancels filter
- maybe have some kind of timeout to prevent the unnecessary tap here? Probably needs a strong visual cue to prevent confusion
- siblings should be visualized somehow
- give siblings a thin bar?
- use some visual language that indicates the "distance" from the selected message
- outline the root of the selected conversation to differentiate it from other convo roots?
- knock-knock joke thread as a way to test UX things
- Jack (@Astartes)
- Working on making the sprig UI load messages more asynchronously
- Added support for prefix/suffix text in text fields (not currently in use in sprig)
- Chris (@whereswaldon)
- Unplanned [lightning talk at Gophercon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3VRYIAYfMI&feature=youtu.be&t=2304)
- Also unplanned Q&A with some folks from microsoft about Gio/Arbor (not recorded)
- Continued work on Android rich keyboard support for gio
- This is hard to work on, as it requires several hours to remember enough of the context to make progress
- Working on gio color palette support [here](https://lists.sr.ht/~eliasnaur/gio-patches/patches/14880)
- Added paste keyboard shortcuts to desktop sprig
- Updated forest to use latest crypto library version from protonmail

## Circling Back to last year
Last year we answered these questions:
- What makes this project interesting/good in your opinion?
- Who are we as a project? What do we want to be? What are our values?
What are our answers now?
## Discussion

- mobile backspace would be nice to press&hold to delete all
- macOS spacebar event isn't being processed correctly?!?!?
