List of ideas for devrant ❤

@dfox Can we get some text formating for our rants? Something like simple markdown like facebooks web messenger.com has (italic, bold, crossed over text (lined through) and code). I dont want tables, colored text and such things since that would make everything extremly unconsistent.

Second thing is reffering to user by id and not by actual name on the server side, because when user changes their nickname it brokes all previous rants and comments where are these users tagged.

Third idea search ability so we could search for rants, uers and tags, this would make our life so much easier

Last idea:
Add ++ and -- tracking with graphs and shit so wr can see how much dev we become over time

    Everything listed has been on the table at least once, there's a tracker on github for this stuff

    Markdown would require to chabge rants from label to some sort of richtext, which possibly would slow down rendering and hurt performance

    @Kimmax not on android, instead of normal string, you can use spannable string which is basically just strings with some html support, it will not really slow anything down.
    Instead of "hello world" you can do
    "<b>hell</b><u>o wo</u><i>rld</i>", you can use colors and some more stuff. Its pretty simple and fast, but I am not sure if theres something simillar for iOS.

    Thanks for the suggestions. You should definitely check out the issue tracker on GitHub, there’s some good discussions for these, especially markdown (there’s pros and cons to adding it, at least IMO).
