Getting ready for the App Store! Show me your favorite#Skyscraper screenshots! 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

I’m getting what I feel like is “close” to a 1.0 release for#Skyscraper. I'm making a smaller TestFlight cohort to review monetization features, and some other new parts before go-live. Interested in seeing it before the full TestFlight? DM me your email or reply here! ##iOSDev#indieDev#Bluesky

@reckless.bsky.social Listening to Version History on the iPhone 4, and I think the white iPhone 4 did ship on Verzion/also AT&T? https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2011/04/finally-white-iphone-4-arrives-april-28-on-att-and-verizon/ It was way later, but I think I had one as my first iPhone.

A new build of#Skyscraper live this morning which adds a feature I like, a Safari extension to open Bluesky links around the web in Skyscraper! Also added the ability to Edit your own posts up to 15 minutes after creation of a post, along with a bunch of other minor fixes.

I think I need to buy an iPad mini to test this app…..

BEAR DOWN! The Chicago Bears are heading to the NFL playoffs! 🐻⬇️

Really liking how these Archived threads are looking. Here’s a preview of one from a @reckless.bsky.social post earlier today. https://api.getskyscraper.com/threads/woCoRR9f

Time for the less-fun part of launching a product. Monetization. I want something fair that helps create some revenue for @skyscraperapp.bsky.social. How would you monetize a alt-Bluesky app? ##BuildInPublic#indiedev#iOSApp#founder

Hey, look at this new thing (probably) coming soon? https://api.getskyscraper.com/threads/aGrEidHz

One of the coolest and most rewarding parts of working on#Skyscraper has been seeing the feedback of dedicated users. The comments and testing are building a much better app!

@tolkoto.com if I have one of these on sale switch 2 Megaman games a go, which is the one to try?

Had a lot of fun building a hashtag tracker for Bluesky to help drive some#Skyscraper features. Check out what’s trending today at https://api.getskyscraper.com/trending/hashtags ##BuildInPublic#webdev#indiedev#developer#programming

@jaxonevans.bsky.social part of work the past few days, I build a hashtag aggregation/trending service and also a service to get hashtags for suggestions when composing messages. I built a full API just because. Would you find it interesting? Deciding if I “open it up”.

As tooling is built for#Skyscraper, it leads to other ideas. To support some other features, I needed to pull Jetstream data. That lead to this idea: Keyword Alerts -> https://api.getskyscraper.com/alerts/ This is a web tool. Sign up and get email alerts for keywords! ##Bluesky#BuildInPublic

@gruber.foo Just posted a new Skyscraper build, with a new setting for an experimental UIKit rendered Timeline. You have to toggle it on explicitly in settings. I think I like it! Still very early, this needs a lot of polish, but I think it’s the right path.

This is a test post. ##test

@schuman.de Anyway you could send me via email or TestFlight your settings for text size in iOS universally? Or if you have any Skyscraper specific text size layouts? Feeds one I’ve seen, it’s on my todo list. Also, did you submit a bug about an ad in a feed a few days days ago?
