Small update today since I'm not driving much these days.
Roadstr 0.4.13 is out.
The cursor now points where you're actually going. Outside navigation it used to follow the phone's compass — in a cradle at an angle, that meant it pointed across the road instead of along it. Now it follows your GPS course whenever you're moving, and stays glued to the road through curves.
Also in this one:
• Add your own relay for favourites sync. Public relays promise nothing about how long they keep your data — one you run or pay for does.
• Search sends far less traffic while you type.
• Reconnects and map lookups back off instead of hammering a service that's already struggling. Better battery on a bad connection.
• A pile of hardening: hostile relays can't grow the app's memory, remote text is length-capped, LNURL lookups reject addresses that look public but resolve inward.
