Extract text from images

Inspired by an upcoming Mastodon feature, Pinafore can now use tesseract.js to generate a description (alt text) for an image. Click the image edit (pencil) button to either edit the description, edit the focal point, or generate text from the image.

This can also be considered an accessibility feature, because now it's easier than ever to add alt text to an image!

Bug fixes and perf improvements

More reliable notifications

In the past, you may have had to refresh Pinafore to get the most recent notifications or new toots in your timeline. With this fix, new toots and notifications should hopefully arrive without needing a refresh.

• fix: reset websocket on online/offline/active events #1429

Accessibility fixes

The toot length gauge now respects the "reduce motion setting," the tappable area for settings buttons is larger.

show commits

• fix: length gauge should respect reduceMotion #1440
• feat(settings): Increase clickable area #1401

Don't over-fetch

Pinafore no longer eagerly fetches the custom emoji and lists from an instance whenever the page is loaded.

show commits

• perf: don't fetch custom emoji on every page load #1451
• perf: fetch lists from database on page load #1450
• refactor(store/observers/instance): Don't fetch lists eagerly #1448

Handle revoked tokens

If you revoke a token for Pinafore in the Mastodon UI, then Pinafore should now handle that gracefully and log you out.

• fix(actions/instances): Clear data when token revoked #1446

Better toot compose box input responsiveness

Responsiveness in the toot compose box should be slightly improved.

show commits

• perf: be more consistent about compose input scheduling #1414
• perf: improve input responsiveness in compose input #1413
