feature request: reply to unsent posts #576

Maybe this is a weird request, but this is why I want it: I'd like to make a conversation/thread of multiple posts, all written offline. The purpose is as a public journal/microblog of a backpacking trip. Each day could have its own post. Subsequent days would be replies to previous days. But I will probably be without internet/network service for multiple days in a row. So I'd need to "reply" to a post that is still unsent in order for all the posts to be part of the same conversation/thread. Is this technically feasible? Thanks.

Very interesting suggestion, thanks. Yes, this is technically possible, because AndStatus assignes its own "temporary IDs" even for its unsent Activities and Notes. The only major improvement needed here is that a Reply to an unsent Note cannot be sent before the "parent" Note / Activity is sent, and so the link to that Note contains a Global and not a temporary ID. This way you could even "Favourite" your unsent Note by your another Actor...
