Good even bluesky ๐Ÿฆ‹

This is probably the biggest update to blueview.app since launch ๐Ÿฅณ.

There are now 2 new sections for those who love to crunch stats. ๐Ÿค“

New post analytics, including a new posts streak, searchable posts table and activity graphs ๐Ÿ“ˆ

I hope these pics attach ok ๐Ÿ˜…

Hello, thanks for reporting this, and sorry for the late reply. I have been taking a break from social media.

I just tried and it looks OK now.

Hopefully an intermittent blip on blueskys side ๐Ÿ™‚

Can you be a little bit more specific? What's wrong with it?
October 18, 2025 at 5:17 PM
I'm glad you like it! Thanks for using the app ๐Ÿ™‚

Maybe it was posted before the the image had a chance to be processed, and it's a bit of a race condition. I'm not sure tbh. ๐Ÿ˜…

Id like to get back on blueview.app, but I've been taking a break from social media recently.

I don't use the Samsung apps at all. I really dislike them.

I much prefer using stock android / Google apps when I can.

Maybe it's time for a change. I had a play with it today and it looked really nice.

Thank you for the photos! That's a really great reference point. They look great.

Thanks for sharing! My main use case is to take photos of my family. My boys are growing up so fast and I know I'll want to look back on these days with fond memories so crystal clear pictures is a priority now ๐Ÿ™‚

How do you find the camera? I've never really thought the camera on the galaxy was great tbh, especially when I compare to iPhone.

My photos always look kind of blurry.

I would like to have better photos and the AI features to go with them.
August 29, 2025 at 9:15 PM
Nice, what do you prefer about them?

How are the cameras?

Have any of my followers ever switched from a Samsung galaxy phone to a pixel?

I've got the itch to switch phones, but I'm not sure if pixels are decent?

My main concern is with the processor. I don't do any gaming, just standard use.

I've had Samsung galaxy phones since the s3.

Voice notes.

Convenient for the sender.

Absolute nightmare for the recipient.

Do the right thing. Take the time to type the message. ๐Ÿ™‚

But you could just record the note to yourself, you don't need to send it.

My original message is regarding sending voice notes to other people..
August 13, 2025 at 11:17 AM
If you don't care about people listening to it, then why are you sending it to them?

Are you just speaking into the void?

I can see the value with that use case, but I would still allow it to be committed and then fail a check in CI.

If the code needs to be linted / formatted then it can be handled during PR creation / cleanup.

I really hate the idea of not being able to commit because of a failing rule.

Pre commit hooks are the devil and you can't convince me otherwise. ๐Ÿ˜…
