v1.14.0
v1.14.0
New features
New keyboard shortcuts
You can now press the left/right keys to change columns. In the hotkey settings, you can also make it so that the left/right keys tab through the focusable elements instead (similar to Tab and Ctrl-Tab).
Also, you can now press "7" to bring up the "compose toot" modal dialog anywhere in the app. (It's 7 because 1-6 are mapped to the nav bar buttons.)
Bugfixes and improvements
iOS improvements
There have been a lot of iOS bugfixes in this release, especially related to the recent release of iOS 13.
In particular, videos should now work consistently, and you should be able to upload images, videos, or audio files on either iOS 12 or 13.
Special thanks to @sgenoud for help with the video fix!

Ongoing: KaiOS app development
In this release I spent some time trying to make Pinfore work well on KaiOS devices. I wrote up some of my findings in this post.
KaiOS support is still blocked on getting login to work and on uploading to the KaiStore, but working on KaiOS has incidentally led to a lot of accessibility and small-screen improvements!
