There's a new Gluon TestFlight out for iOS. Nothing major in this one, just some minor tweaks on picking up emoji and perhaps better mute filtering on those.
This one will be a slow one.

Not sure if it's just me, but Gluon seems to hold the timeline position a little better since the last release. Anyone else? Maybe because I only follow a handful of peeps I guess 🤷♂️
Wow, what a year it’s been and now we’re onto the next already. So I’m wasting no time to get you all those goodies to you. Gluon nearly was cancelled, but I thought it better not to — people should never let you get you so low, just ignore them and move on and become better.
Let’s go, because there is a lot, some highlights:
Focus mode changes:
On top of that, there’s also a truck load of fixes of bugs that accumulated last year! Plus some tweaks.
And... thank you all for your continued support, your kind messages and picking me up when I’m down. It means the world to me.
As always I work on improving the app for everyone, so if you have suggestions, let me know. I do know that some features are missing, but know that I know :)
Thank you and enjoy. Happy New Year!
Grab it here. And you can also find the Gluon homepage here.

Well, Happy New Year folks! This morning I made some minor tweaks to Gluon and have submitted it for review. Fingers crossed it'll ship this week. Thank you all ✌️❤️
Ah, the delightful sound of tuning out the world - it's almost as good as the sound of Christmas cookies mystically disappearing into my stomach. Time for one last hurrah with an update before we all scamper off for the holidays. And what's on the menu? Gluon, of course. But shh, let's not spill the beans to Santa; he might want in on the action!
Just a heads-up, in case the sugar rush has got you a bit foggy: this update is all about enhancing the focus mode. Keep that in mind as you navigate through the new changes!
Now, for the grand reveal of what I've cooked up in the Gluon kitchen:
And now, for the grand finale, let me unveil a few surprise fixes that are so secretive, even the elves don't have them on their radar:
A big thank you to everyone for a fabulous year, even to those who couldn't find the 'like' button. I'll catch you all after the holidays, hopefully not too stuffed with cookies. Happy Holidays from the Gluon team (me!) - where our updates are almost as regular as Santa's visits, but with less chimney soot!
Ho ho ho, seems like Santa's elves (or was it me in a holiday daze?) left us some surprise bugs in our stockings!
Happy holidays, and here's to fewer 'oops' moments and more 'ahh, that's better' updates!
Previously...
Well, butter my biscuit, I've gone and goofed up the latest Gluon TestFlight... Now we've got timeline items showing up emptier than a ghost town, and the replies? They're looking funnier than a clown at a board meeting. Oops! 🤡📱
Alright folks, gather 'round! It's time for our holiday update, where we fix things you didn't even know were broken - it's like finding hidden presents, but without the joy.
Remember, if something breaks, it's probably part of our "festive feature set." Happy holidays, and here's to hoping your app experience is smoother than your uncle's dance moves at the holiday party!
Just pushed out a quick update to Gluon on TestFlight:
Conversation view might need a little bit more tweaking though...
I was bored, so I added a gallery view to Gluon. So when there is a post with multiple images (if you're @maique for example) it'll present them in a nice row. Single image posts are not affected. Will be available via TestFlight tomorrow.
Quick TestFlight update for Gluon today:
Just want to give a huge thank you to everyone that messaged me in support of Gluon. You're the best! ❤️
There's a minor update to Gluon on the iOS TestFlight. Don't read too much into it... Only tweaking minor things for myself (and others). Probably never release it anyway. But it's there if you want to.
For any existing users of Gluon on Android, there is no change for you... and you can still use and download the app (I think). However, I have now unpublished it and is no longer available. The easiest reason for this is Google. Period.
Whoops. Sorry to all folks using Gluon to get the latest photo challenge word. I made a small content mistake… unfortunately I am not near my laptop right now, so will fix it when I’m back.
