V 2.10
- New tutorial screen
- New module: Unshortener
- New features and improvements to status module

A new module, improvements to existing ones, and a few other additions (and a new locale!).

This version also includes a new tutorial screen that will be shown on first install (or when updating to this version). Hopefully it will help new users, there has been some requests saying that the app is hard to understand and configure. Any comment or suggestion is welcomed!

New version of Click to Chat (V 4.2.2)

V 4.2.2
- Colored main buttons
- Tweaks for Android 13+
- Upgraded to latest Android



This was just an update to the Android tooling for maintenance, including a couple improvements for Android 13+ (originally tested on URLCheck)

And while porting code from that other app, I though about migrating the main button style too (a filled button instead of just text). I think it looks nice, even if a bit strange in the expanded mode with the other 4 extra buttons below. Pretty colorful!


Anyway, as suspected, this new version triggered some false flags at Google and I was forced to modify the new and 'improved' data safety panel. Now my app has 'personal info: phone number' under 'Data that may be shared with other companies or organisations'. Disclaimer, it does not.

I mean, the app asks for a sequence of numbers that it 'sends' to WhatsApp (that's the basic feature) and if you enter your own number then ok, my app shares your personal number with WhatsApp. But the app has no idea if a number is yours or not in any case, so it's the same as saying that the app collects your Social Security number because you can enter it if you want (it won't probably be a valid phone though). 🙄 Anyway, I could have objected the decision, but knowing Google it will be useless.

Funny thing, the donation version haven't triggered this flag yet. So, according to google, the donation version is safer! (note: they are exactly the same apart from the color...and your support of course)

New version of Url checker ⇾ URLCheck (V 2.8)

V 2.8
- Renamed app from 'Url Checker' to 'URLCheck'
- New japanese translation. Thanks to 404potato!
- New Pattern Checker samples and improvements
- New setting to sort apps per-domain
- New setting to close after sharing
- New setting to hide the source app (referrer)
- Allow disabling all modules
- Improved About activity
- Internal tooling improvements


 
The app is nicely improving bit by bit.

This update has a few minor new settings to the open module and pattern checker module, as well as other tweaks to the about and general screens.

The main change however is the name change. From 'Url checker' (which was translated in other locales) to 'URLCheck' (not translated). This should help by creating a 'brand' (if I ever need one), hopefully the new name is similar enough to not cause confusion (at least for english).

New version of Simple Clipboard Editor (V 1.5)

V 1.5
- Sent text to the app
- Edit selected text (Android 6.0+)


A very minor update with two interesting features.

Now you can send text to the app to directly copy (and edit) it.

Additionally, on Android 6.0+, you can also select any text and press the 'copy and edit' option (probably after pressing the three dots button). If the copied text was from an editable input, any edit will be set back in the original input!

Some users use this to input text in a bigger textview than the original one.
