Try it!

If you already have either the iOS or the Mac app it should prompt you to update. You can relaunch the Mac app to trigger the prompt.

Changes

  • Add setting to hide read posts in feed
  • Fix comments not showing up after submitting
  • Fix bug where saved posts feed was only showing posts local to your server
  • Refresh inbox tab more frequently
  • Cache user profiles
  • Improve performance of post feeds (most noticeable on iOS)
  • Fix dark mode flicker
  • Fix youtube embeds where video ID contains dashes
  • Increase the sizing of the login form to make it to use

Appreciate all the feedback so far!

I'm struggling a little to get the performance I want on iOS. I'm curious if anyone is using an older iPhone. I would love to hear if you think the app feels snappy enough or if there's room for improvement. If you could leave a comment or DM me with the phone your using and what you think.

Wait, you’re telling me he was not the chief engineer of space x whole simultaneously being the world champion at a video game?

Not good enough. You should really be inspecting your CPU with a microscope.

Lol. While I was building my app I didn’t have a name for the first month. Then I came up with Blorp and my gf was like “yeahhh keep working on the name”. My thought process is that it’s most important that the name stick in your head so when your friend is like “I’m using Blorp” later when you go to download it, you remember the name. I’m also not a fan of Lemmy’s mouse branding. So I wanted a name that sticks in your brain and to ditch the typical Lemmy branding.

But if someone comes up with a better name, I’ll consider it. Naming things is hard lol.

For me its 50% because it seems the accept new users the fastest (from my very unscientific test) and 50% because Voyager does it so it must be the right way lol. Initially I had it randomizing between the most popular instaces, but I decided to simplify it and have it default to lemm.ee. I don’t feel that strongly. If someone presented a good argument for why I should change it, I would consider it.

I think you can also report it to Google. Enough reports, and their email will automatically be flagged as spam. You can write them a nice email explaining how their absence of an unsubscribe button will ultimately hurt them when Gmail cuts them off from its users.

The web version is also available! If you try it, feel free to submit any bugs through GitHub (linked in setting tab).

Thank you! Would love for you to joing the beta, either iOS or macOS for now. I will be rolling out other platforms based on demand, but I really need some early user feedback to help focus the work I do.

They offer mods stock options?

Forgive my ignorance, but isn’t Meshtastic already like <$15 normally?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

You should probably take a second edible just to be sure

Are they a relatively ethical company? Genuinely curious

Announcing the Blorp Mac App Preview – Available to Test Now!

Blorp is at a stage where there's still plenty of work to do, but I’m ready to start gathering feedback. The main areas that need improvement are enhancing the post creation experience and adding the ability to sign up directly through Blorp.

That said, Blorp is already very usable. I’ve chosen to launch the Mac app first because, among all the Lemmy clients, the desktop space is the least saturated. I’m starting with Mac since that’s where I’ve done all my testing, but the plan is to expand to Linux and Windows as well.

I’d love for you to download Blorp for Mac! If you’re not ready to install it yet, or you're not on a mac but still want to check it out, you can use the web version at blorpblorp.xyz.

Did I mention, Blorp is open source? You can read all the code on our GitHub.

Other platforms coming soon:

  • iOS
  • Android
  • Linux
  • Windows
