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 ๐

Can you be a little bit more specific? What's wrong with it?

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. ๐
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 ๐

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.

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.

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.
