Welp, getting detained at the border wasn’t on my bingo card but here we are. (I’m fine now and it was sorted relatively quickly)

I am _BEGGING_ conference organizers to put names on both sides of conference name tags. Every time I look at someone’s conf badge at #atmosphereconf to see if it’s someone I might know, I just see this:

Anyone I know in Vancouver this weekend for ATmosphereConf?

Oh hai Canada

One of the hardest things to explain to people without ADHD: • when it’s interesting, I can start on it • when it’s uninteresting, I can’t Note that the second one is not “I don’t want to.” I literally CAN’T. I have to convince my brain it is interesting to even get started.

Wow, thanks for keeping this email "extremely short"! How considerate. 🙃

I hate deadlines (but I need deadlines) & I hate structure (but I need structure)

I didn’t design @fluxapp.blue for iPad, but it actually works pretty well! There are a few nagging issues I’m trying to fix: • Tapping X to close the image vied causes the timeline to scroll-to-top • The Apple Pencil doesn’t work for all header buttons (and also causes the scroll-to-top issue)

Something that somewhat stops me from being more active on Bluesky is the native app. I've been on the lookout for a great third party iOS app since the beginning but just haven't found something that clicks... UNTIL TODAY (hopefully). Trying out @fluxapp.blue and so far it's VERY NICE. 😎

Finally added OAuth support to Flux. 🙌 Download it now!

The ADHD urge to think I can learn a new language before an international trip next year… Or next month… Or next week…

If you were waiting for OAuth login to try out the Flux Bluesky client app (iOS), it’s now available in the beta! Looking for feedback from anyone able to kick the tires on OAuth login. Grab it here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/u7RVjUVh

My toxic trait is saying yes to things I have the ability to do, without considering if I have the time, energy, or motivation.

ADHD is like 50% not working, 50% working frantically to make up for the not working part, 50% thinking about the work I should be doing (but not actually working), and 50% not sleeping (but trying to).

@fluxapp.blue is currently my main bluesky client on iOS! Been subbed since day 1. Keeps getting updates too, today’s one is quite nice for QOL:

Version 1.11.0 available now! Tons of new features and settings: trending topics, custom thumbnail sizes, light/dark mode toggle, expandable quote posts, composer safety net, revamped settings menu… Plus a bunch of additional bug fixes and performance improvements.

ADHD packing list: • 7 books you won’t read • ipad full of movies/shows you won’t watch • random crap that sounded important 5 minutes before you left • extra toothbrush? Stuff forgotten: • toothpaste • an entire category of clothing • one REALLY important cable

Just a few of the features coming soon to @fluxapp.blue - the calm, beautiful Bluesky client app for iOS. • Custom thumbnail sizes • Trending topics • Manual light/dark theme

The ADHD urge to buy a thing, watch all the videos about the thing, religiously track shipping until the thing arrives, excitedly open the shipping box to get to the thing, and then place the thing somewhere random and forget about it for 3-60 months.

[doing things I’m bad at] “ugh, I suck at everything” [doing things I’m good at] “this doesn’t count because it’s easy for me”

Latest update to @fluxapp.blue available now! Adds adjustable text sizes and better fallback UI for previous versions of iOS.

Flux v1.10.0 is out now! • Text size controls. Choose from 4 preset sizes or inherit from system accessibility settings. • Improved appearance on devices running iOS 18 and earlier. • Bug fixes and performance improvements. apps.apple.com/us/app/flux-...

Text size settings coming soon to @fluxapp.blue Inherit the accessibility “larger text” system settings, or set custom just for Flux.

ADHD symptoms be like: • annoys teachers • hard to parent • not great at jobs • kinda creative? • too quiet • too loud • too sensitive • too much

My toxic trait is envisioning exactly how I want the UX of a feature to work, discovering that a similar-but-not-quite-right solution is much easier to implement, and refusing to compromise because it’s just not quite right.

Quick Easter egg for @fluxapp.blue If you have the navigation bar in Left, Center, or Right position, you can long-press to reposition it. Same with the Compose button (which also smartly avoids the navbar depending on the combination).

Version 1.9.0 is out now! Includes support for non-Bluesky PDS login. 🎉 Thanks to everyone who pointed out how important it was!

ADHD is always hearing “you’re doing it wrong” even though your way works.

I made Flux for Bluesky to be a clean and beautiful (and highly customizable) Bluesky client and it’s finally done!* Officially available in the App Store. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/flux-for-bluesky/id6756476266 *jk - not even CLOSE to “done.” I have SO many more things I want to add. 😅

Just added better support for longer threads in @fluxapp.blue so you can easily fetch newer replies inline. Should be available soon.

I live in constant fear of getting bored with something I love.

Guess I’ve got a bit more work to do. 😅

I actually like the liquid glass look in ios, but I hate Apple’s default treatment of the navbar. It’s ugly and gimmicky. Most apps that implement it look worse than they did before (probably why many simply haven’t updated). In @fluxapp.blue I use liquid glass, but try to keep it clean and sleek.

Soon(!!)

Soon(!!)

“I hope that made sense” “I’m fine either way” “Anyways, sorry I’m rambling a bit” “Just a thought, whatevs” — little anxiety-fueled gifts I like to send along with any communication in an attempt to shield myself from rejection

So I made a bluesky app called Flux. Going for that calm, actually-nice-to-use vibe. 100+ people testing it, come join to give it a try:

How many times am I going to see posts from @financialtimes.com and briefly think I’ve got a spacing issue in my app? Nope, no spacing issue in my app. For some reason, they start every single post with a space. 🤷‍♂️
