Just installed the flutter app, thanks for improving the mobile experience here!

For me I'd have to adjust my habits to make good use of it. I currently use the web site on the phone (and the desktop app on the desktop) and my workflow heavily revolves around the “recent conversation view”, the ability to quickly switch between all, unread, participated and followed conversations there […]. It seems that the flutter app doesn't support that yet, but I'll keep watching.

Yes, I was also sad to see that the "recent conversations view" is not one of the features the new app brings

Thanks @Joachim Breitner and @Eric Wieser! I've noted your request for "Recent conversations" here, and the issue to follow is https://github.com/zulip/zulip-flutter/issues/315 .

@Joachim Breitner interesting, I don't think we've had that request before—a workflow where you frequently mark your entire message history unread. I don't think the web app offers that. If your message history is long, I imagine doing this just once could take the server quite a long time. Was this a typo for "read"?

I've opened a discussion in the Zulilp development community; that's a more convenient venue for me, but otherwise I can check back here periodically: https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/channel/48-mobile/topic/mark.20all.20as.20unread/near/2018402

Yes, sorry, typo. Of course I mark everything as read.

[Chris Bobbe]

If you go to the "Combined feed", does the "Mark all messages as read" button seem to do the right thing? If so, maybe that's a feature we should offer more visibly, for example by adding a button on the Inbox screen?

[Joachim Breitner]

Ah, right. It's the lack of “recent conversations” that bothered me - sorry for my unstructured feedback

[Chris Bobbe]

No worries :) glad to have feedback, even if it's unstructured
