@paulelms Glad to hear that you like #AndStatus.
Regarding inconveniences that you noted:
1. You can set as the Default timeline any timeline that you like. Just go to "Manage timelines" action menu item. You can also set any timelines as Always visible or invisible to customize the timeline list...
2. Similarly, you can set default Account and reorder accounts in Settings -> Manage Accounts.
Regarding easier Account switch for posting a new note, do you have any suggestion on this? Maybe I should add account selector to the Note Editor?! I mean making a button "My account / author name" text above the composing note, allowing to switch the posting account/actor?!
.
BTW AndStatus v.38.04 is released http://andstatus.org/changelog.html
