To celebrate Bluesky sharing Boost’s iPad announcement and to welcome all our new users, I’m making Boost’s yearly plan 33% off for your first year!

This offer will only last a week, so don’t miss out!

Huh. I'll look into it... Let me know if it happens again as well.

If you're having problems signing into Boost:

A friendly reminder that your username includes the .bsky.social domain. I'll update the UI to make that more clear. 😁

Boost Blue @boostblue.bsky.social · 14h

Are you entering your full username, including the .bsky.social?

You don't have to pay before logging in - in fact most of the app is free.

Are you getting an error when trying to sign in?

Thank you for the feedback! I do add a bit of additional spacing on the side when in landscape, but I'll test adding more.

This is my first pass on the iPad UI, so it will absolutely be something I continue to improve on - and I'll focus on improving the horizontal view specifically. Thanks again!

I could be more helpful if you told me what wasn’t working for you.

No - feedback is best directed towards this account.

Boost Blue @boostblue.bsky.social · 17h

Uhhhh sort of, but it looks much better on device trust me 😁

Sorry people want to get paid for their work.

Why wouldn't you just use an app for iPhone/iPad?

Boost Blue @boostblue.bsky.social · 18h

Yes - I do charge for a few features that the official app doesn't support. But mostly this is a for fun side project.

Boost Blue @boostblue.bsky.social · 18h

Nope, no affiliation whatsoever.

Boost Blue @boostblue.bsky.social · 19h

@bsky.app Holy shit, thank you 🙇

Boost Blue @boostblue.bsky.social · 19h

Not sure how to answer this question...

Just a developer building something fun who Bluesky reposted for some reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Boost Blue @boostblue.bsky.social · 19h

Since this is about to get a lot of traffic:

This project is still early. Some key features are missing, and although it's generally stable, it's not bug free. I'm trying to make up for that by responding to feedback as quick as I can.

Please be patient with me, excited to have you all here!

Hi - if you DM me I'd love to figure out what isn't working for you!
