From Boost’s large text setting, or from iOS settings?

On it!

Which device is this on?

Text sizes are hard 😬 I’ll get it fixed.

If you’re enjoying Boost Blue, the single biggest thing you can do to support me is repost content from this account. And this is a really great one to share 😁

Ahh, okay that's a bug, thanks! I'll get that fixed in the next version.

Is it showing up on English posts? It should only show up if the post is not in the language you have set in settings, with the default being English.

It should disappear, but it should also translate the text. Presumably that second part isn’t working for you?

Boost Blue @boostblue.bsky.social · 1d

There are a bunch of minor UI improvements for mobile users in this release as well.

Boost Blue @boostblue.bsky.social · 1d

Feedback is welcome! This is the first *real* iPad release, so although I'm really happy with it, I also expect it to continue to improve - and the key to that is letting me know how it could be better.

Let’s bring some positively back here. Everyone share something good that happened this week:

We had friends over for a craft chocolate tasting night, and it was amazing. And chocolate is amazing. Absolutely blown away by the complexity in flavors you can get with just cacao and sugar.

Thank you!!

Boost Blue @boostblue.bsky.social · 1d

Well, I was bound to miss something. I don't use split screen much so I didn't catch this one. I'll get it fixed!

In my defense, the old version was literally just “stretch the mobile version out until it fits” 😅

A good first step, but I’m glad to finally have been able to spend some time on this.

This isn’t something that is supported on Bluesky’s App Server, so there’s no real way for me to implement it. I could let you edit a post, but the Bluesky servers would continue showing the old version.
