@joshwoodward @GeminiApp Gemini's output is limited in text formatting - doesn't create hierarchy in response for quick scanning, or variability in formatting. Use full extent of markdown capabilities to direct user's attention to various parts of the output for quick scanning.

[Malik Chabou @malikchabou]

@joshwoodward @GeminiApp Table outputs don't scroll horizontally, text wrapping is poorly done in tables, table can't expand to take over full screen natively without opening export to sheets.

@joshwoodward @GeminiApp Being able to group conversations together without having to create a notebook (i.e.: foldering)

@joshwoodward @GeminiApp Ability to write custom instructions for folders (notebooks) within Gemini.

@joshwoodward @GeminiApp Ability to highlight a part of a response and reference it in the reply.

@joshwoodward @matvelloso @GeminiApp Additionally, long threads don't load on the Android app even if they load without issue in the browser on Chrome for Android.

@not_taylorx @TTChelps From what I recall, the 307 has been cut into two routes during FIFA. It operates as a bus north of Bloor to Steeles, and it operates as a streetcar south of St Clair, under route number 311.

FYI @nowtoronto - it wasn't a lightning bolt, it was a slanted Budweiser logo outline.

While sad to see it replaced, given they lost name rights, makes sense it's gone.

@311Toronto Same with light on Front St W at The Well parking lot, the eastbound light is facing the ground from being pushed by wind.

[Malik Chabou @malikchabou]

@311Toronto The traffic lights above Fort York / Dan Leckie intersection are facing wrong way and tangled up due to severe wind. Will need to be adjusted after storm passes.

@TTChelps Why aren't 511 Bathurst replacement buses using the transit HOV lanes and instead using the car traffic curb lanes? Especially when there's protected island stops from Front to Queen? cc: @ausmalik

@RM_Transit Google maps' best feature, user edits, can sometimes be it's worst.

I'm 99% sure a user created all those secondary entrance markings. Otherwise you would see transit information like you do with the primary entrances that Google Maps did create themselves.
