Should it be concerning to me that @woollyapp app developer @mttvll has not posted to Mastodon for nearly four months?

No toots or replies on his personal or app accounts, no updates to any of the apps published in the App Store during that time.

Maybe he took a break, but people usually post that they are taking a break, rather than just disappearing.

Anyone heard from Matteo Villa? @yanlu?

🤔

mttvll,

@matt appreciate your message, all is well. just busy with life, and took an unplanned step back from the internet.

@mttvll random woolly feature requests!

  • different cell shade for DMs
  • swipe to view multiple images when present
  • always able to view entire message when replying (it cuts off eventually)

Really liking the app! Timeline control and threaded relies are fantastic!

mttvll,

@mattiem thanks for the feedback, really appreciated!

I already implemented a different highlighting for DMs, but never enabled it :) https://mastodon.social/@mttvll/109839785839051378
I'll probably add an option to toggle it in the next update.

Swipe between multiple images, do you mean directly from the timeline?

Quick experiment with @woollyapp, collapsing and expanding replies with a long press.
Could be useful for long conversations - what do you folks think?

mttvll,

@PKYo ?? I'm building an alternative iOS client app, I cannot address Mastodon shortcomings.

mttvll,

@PKYo do you have anything in particular in mind the we could improve?

mttvll,

@poswald conversations are always loaded fully so this would only be used to hide part of the replies - a long press I think is a decent trade-off in this case

After a couple of weeks I’m finally back at work on @woollyapp

A little update is already out on the App Store, fixing a couple of pretty nasty bugs.

  • You can now add a column showing trending links to your main screen

Fixed timeline not loading all available posts

Fixed drafts not being saved in some cases

👇 Boost and enjoy!

Time to try a new pricing strategy for @woollyapp

The latest update introduce a new lifetime purchase option, for folks with a severe subscriptions allergy 🤧

As always a boost is very appreciated!

Enjoy!

mttvll,

@chrishering33 @woollyapp if you are enjoying the app and are confortable with subscriptions that's the way to go

mttvll,

@podark thanks for the heads up, I'll look into it

mttvll,

@AlgonquinHawk you can cancel your subscription and when it'll end you should be able to purchase a lifetime upgrade.

The Pocket app on my iPhone was automatically updated to the latest version.
I haven't seen a jankier scroll since maybe Android 4.0 in 2011.
Everything is slow and jumping all over the place.

What is happening???? 🙃

Sometimes i wish the iOS community would take note of the less famous indie devs and designers too. The ones who are struggling. I feel like it’s always the same getting the attention. Most of them deserve it and made great products. But there’s so much more and the famous ones don’t need the support as much as the underdogs. We almost have to fight for every single download.

mttvll,

@sandropennisi oh boy, I feel you! It's always a struggle, and seeing the enormous success of a few indies and the press coverage they get can be demoralizing.
We have to just keep building and sharing, it's a long term game.

Almost forgot I started working on a Bluesky app a few weeks ago 🫢
Anyone still using that site?
I just logged in and the main timeline is still a chaos of replies to people I do not follow.

mttvll,

@anildash I like the idea of custom timelines!
But I'm not sure why they decided to use the current one as the default - to surface more content now that usage is still low?

A new @woollyapp update is out on the App Store, fixing a few nasty bugs and adding a couple of nice improvements.

Enjoy!

mttvll,

If you are enjoying @woollyapp consider leaving a nice review on the App Store.
That always helps a lot!

mttvll,

@avirr @agoeb that's been sitting on my todo list for a while now, I really should fix it

mttvll,

@djc replying to posts from another instance is currently broken, sorry - I'm working on fixing it.
Like and repost should work - do you see no changes in the corresponding icons when you tap them?

mttvll,

@djc thanks, I'll fix this asap

mttvll,

@djc thanks! Dealing with other instances data is tricky - I'll check it out

First Twitter, now Reddit.
These fucking companies are terrible.

What do they have to lose by putting in place a reasonable paid API plan for 3rd party devs?
And why the official apps are always garbage?

I feel for @christianselig and all the other devs that will have to shut down an app they worked on for years.

mttvll,

@dalcacer I'm not familiar with that - any pointers?

mttvll,

@dalcacer ah, that's cool!
Unfortunately it seems a bit too early for me to build a client around that.
