My Pokemon Champions app @battledex.bsky.social is available for iOS! The app is still very early, I submitted sooner than I normally would because I was worried about Apple approving given the Pokemon IP, and didn't want to waste more of my time if I couldn't get the app through review.

Since the official Bluesky app is still not optimised for iPad. I was using the Skeets app for a while, which is ok but doesn't quite have the same layout as the official app. Recently started using @boostblue.bsky.social. This is how I image an official Bluesky iPad experience would look, amazing

v3.15.3 is live! This includes a few bug fixes, some small UI updates, and a reworked onboarding flow!

Pokemon Champions is my new obsession, so I made a dedicated feed using @graze.social!

Weekly Roadmap Update: In review: - New onboarding flow - Some settings improvements In Progress: - Liquid Glass for iPad - Boost Blue for Web and Mac

Video Feeds are live with v3.15.2! Videos are displayed in a TikTok style full screen experience with the rest of the UI darkened to bring focus to the playing video. Download: onelink.to/boost-blue

Weekly Roadmap Update: Ready for release: - Video feeds In Progress: - Boost Blue for Web and Mac - Liquid Glass for iPad

v3.14.0 is live! Liquid Glass navigation elements now optionally support "hide on scroll", which can be enabled in settings under Navigation. The standard top nav bar also now fully animates out, instead of persisting in the Dynamic Island area.

In addition to hiding @boostblue.bsky.social navigation elements for Liquid Glass, I updated the standard navigation effect to be truly full screen. #buildinpublic ⬅️ Before | After ➡️

Working on hiding Liquid Glass navigation elements when scrolling for @boostblue.bsky.social. I have a ton of fun working on these smaller UX refinements. #buildinpublic

Boost Blue now has Gallery Feeds! In v3.13.1, Boost will automatically display feeds where 90%+ of posts contain media as a Gallery Feed. Profile media tabs get the same treatment. You can view posts as a Gallery, or a grid layout to see all media. Download: onelink.to/boost-blue

We're looking for launch partners to join Lettuce — users who'll be among the first to receive donations, helping us kick off the service with real people for the community to support. Interested? Reach out! Details are still coming together, but there'll be an internal perk for launch partners.

Thank you everyone!!! It means a lot.

If you've enjoyed Boost Blue, I would really appreciate you signing in to @atstore.fyi with your Bluesky/Atmosphere account and leaving a review. It's a small thing that will improve Boost's distribution and allow me to keep working on it. 😁

The Atmosphere now has its own app store!! Go check it out, and if you want to help Boost Blue, leave us a good review there: atstore.fyi/products/boo...

I'm really excited for this. The biggest struggle I've had with @boostblue.bsky.social is discoverability, something I'm sure other Atmosphere apps are struggling with too. This is a great way to show all the cool stuff built for the Atmosphere. Great work, @hipstersmoothie.com!

Atmosphere Account is now an Atmosphere App. What started as an account provider page is becoming an App Store-style registry for the Atmosphere: project profiles, discovery, screenshots, reviews, updates, and protocol-native records. Check out the explore page: atmosphereaccount.com/explore

As a community I think we've focus of "what is an atmosphere account?" too much and "what can I do with it?" too little To help with that I've built ATStore, our App Store: - Browse all the Atmosphere Apps - Explore each App's ecosystem - Leave reviews and feedback - Star your favorites

Two Bluesky client apps have integrated the "also liked" functionality: - @boostblue.bsky.social - iOS and Android - @skywalker.thereforeiam.eu - Android The app integration makes it a much smoother experience than the stand-alone website foryou.club/also-liked Here is how it looks in Boost Blue:

If you use @boostblue.bsky.social, you already have this choice (Just FYI for people who want grid or carousel for images more than 4: settings - scroll down to post appearance )

Preview of a gallery feed in @boostblue.bsky.social : When enabled, Feeds will detect if their content overwhelmingly contains images, and if so show an Instagram style UI.

v3.12.5 is live - with the option to choose between a grid or carousel for image display. Carousel is used as a fallback for posts with more than 4 images.

Keep voting because more feedback is always valuable, but based on the strong early preference for no carousel: I'm making the prior image grid UI the default, with carousel an option you can enable in settings. For posts with more than 4 images, carousel will be the fallback.

Quick poll: do you like the image carousel for 4 or less images?

I just published v3.12.2, which adds a carousel to Boost Blue! I want to do some more UI polish here, especially for image sizing and fill style, but I rushed to get this out to support 4+ images which they ended up not releasing 😉

<video error> We are seeing elevated errors and timeouts on video uploads, and are investigating. status.bsky.app

Weekly Roadmap Update: In review: - Scroll performance improvements In Progress: - More scroll performance improvements - Boost Blue for Web and Mac - Images in carousel with support for 10 images - Photo feed UI (juggling a lot 😅) Next Up: - Video feeds

A new version of Boost Blue is live with support for 'For You' developer @spacecowboy17.bsky.social's Also Liked tool! Also Liked is accessible from the ••• menu on a post, or from the Also Liked button on the Post Detail page. Download: onelink.to/boost-blue

Several minor updates went out last week with various bug fixes, with a lot of focus on sync reliability and updating feed position after syncing. If you were experiencing issues for either please let me know if the issues are resolve in the latest version.

I’m going to start using a new configuration of @boostblue.bsky.social each week to properly test different combinations, and figured I might as well share each week’s variant. This week I’m using: Arimo Font Nord Dark Nord Light With Liquid Glass enabled

I’m bringing Font Friday back! Today’s font highlight is Sora, one of my personal favorites:

Weekly Progress Update! Completed: - OAuth - User dashboard - Stripe integration for subscriptions and payouts - Pulling "like" data into Lettuce What's next: - Phoenix FLAME (JIT infrastructure) - Prototype of payout calculations based on likes #buildinpublic #atproto

We are investigating an incident with service in one of our reginos status.bsky.app

Same for Deletem. I think there’s a wider issue happening on the BlueSky side. When I test against other hosted PDS the auth works.

v3.11.11 adds better handling for these issues. If then sync cache fails to load you’ll now be let into the app (instead of directed to auth), with an error banner that will let you reset said cache. There’s also a reset cache button in Settings, which can help if data isn’t syncing for you.

Bluesky seems to be issues with authentication. These haven’t affected Boost Blue for me, but it’s possible that they do. Please let me know if you run into auth issues with the app.
