I’m working on a new#iOS app for#Bluesky, called Skyscraper. It’s designed to be “Liquid Glass” first, and a native experience that feels like an iOS app.
My friend @rchase.com who runs https://hostifi.com recommended that I post more about development, so I will while testing!

@breznsoiza.bsky.social Do you mind going and testing one of the Discover feeds for scroll behavior?
Any of the trending topics, jump in and scroll. Does that feel better than the Timeline to you?

Another new build for#Skyscraper going live tonight. Biggest thing I think, was adding chat support for users who login via OAuth.
Some improved moderation, and you can mute specific users from having reposts they repost appear on your feed.

Updated build of#Skyscraper just went live. Some improvements to notifications and chat.
And a new feature I love, tap a handle on a profile page and you’ll get the option to copy the user handle!

Will add another 15-20 people to the feed, so long as your account is PG-13 lol.
In adding push notifications, I had to get a server up and running which let me add some additional features.
Now, I can add “Recommended Users” to the Discover page without pushing a new build.
Would anyone like to be added to the page? Reply here if so, and I’ll review and add some people.

Making physical things is very hard, so I know some people will be upset, but hope Analogue sells a bajillion of these.
The software is still lacking on the 3D. But overall, it’s an amazing piece of hardware.

@hotdogsladies.bsky.social I’m working on an iOS 26 native Bluesky app. Still early, but looking for more testers who are power users. All feedback welcome, but would especially be curious on why you wouldn’t use it.

Got a @bossfightbooks.com Humble Bundle last year, and loved the books. Just picked up their Animal Crossing paperback (https://bossfightbooks.com/products/animal-crossing-by-kelsey-lewin ) with their Black Friday sale. Excited to receive it!

Alright#Skyscraper users, a new build out tonight. I’m trying to keep the iPad version viable on macOS for now, but unfortunately I can’t seem to bind Command+N to new post due to some oldies there, so it’s now Command+P.
Overall, some performance improvements across a variety of things.

One bigger change to the new build of#Skyscraper. The top right of the NavBar is now…a link to your profile page!
Moderation settings are still available, just from your profile page now next to the Edit Profile button.

New TestFlight build posted for#Skyscraper. The developer notes say that Command + N will do a new compose on macOS, but alas not working.
Right now, the Mac Build is just the iPad build and don’t have a good test suite other than build and try on my Mac lol. Sigh.

I’m early into this interview and it’s fantastic.
I interviewed the creator of Blue Prince days before the game's release about his modest expectations for the indie puzzler.
And then I interviewed him again, last week, ahead of The Game Awards, about how a hit game does and doesn't change your life.
