I like Hints and use them as a way to highlight information on a screen. I even like the color options.

Unfortunately - often times I want to ‘dive’ into the data and Hints are not actionable.

Can we add an action to a Hint? They are much more useful than a ‘static hint’ function and are an excellent UI feature of Glide.

The second request is less needed but would make Hints even better - support markup data (like a rich text component) or give more options to the formatting of the internal text.

I don’t think they’re doing much (or any) improvements to classic apps. New apps have actions on hints though… time to migrate 🙂
