The only thing missing to this app to be perfect is another schedule view (e.g. by room or global). Bookmarks and live events notification are awesome 👍

Hello, Unfortunately everybody lost their bookmarks on 8/1/24 because FOSDEM reset all the session ids in the schedule data during a migration. This should not happen again. All FOSDEM apps were impacted, and it's not related to an app upgrade. This app will always preserve the bookmarks data on upgrade, but not on downgrade.

A view of the talks by room would be very useful, something to see what's coming up in the rooms nearby.

For FOSDEM a track always happens in the same room so you can easily see what's next in the room by looking at the track view until the track is over. The track view is accessible by tapping the "up" button from the talk description screen. I will consider adding a feature showing which tracks happen in which room.

What's new

- Add "Submit feedback" button in event details screen
- Fix no image placeholder shown in room image dialog launched from notification
- Fix speaker info button not visible on tablets.
