General Update

Busy with outside engagements at the moment. Otherwise, last week was focused on optimizations and other stability improvements.

• Action extension to set instance url to any url you find outside of the app (tap a native share icon and then “set instance”)
  • Works with RSS links / mastodon intances / lemmy instances
• Cancel pending subscription requests
• Ability to copy post urls to clipboard or open posts in safari via more button (three dots).
• Added a “Set Instance URL” button to the hamburger menu to make it easier to find (Can also tap the url on the main feed header).

I will be free again This Thursday. Focused on pushing further stability improvements and nitpicks/ aligning iPad and macOS with their iOS counterpart. And finally starting the inbox/direct-messaging/push-notifications features.

Android

I have gotten a hold of a (low-end) non-foldable Android device. And am experimenting porting this work over. I also have a foldable Android device. So keeping foldable experiences when interacting with media in mind. Do not expect anything functional right now. But, 100% stay tuned for another open-source repo starting the Android version of Loom, fully native/Kotlin. Granite/LemmyKit/FederationKit will be converted over prior to the front-end app being built itself. These repos will become available October-November at the earliest.
