I was thinking of branching off Tinylytics into different apps, for example tracking app usage with events and whatever else I can think of. Although now I am thinking of just adding an optional "pro" mode, which is an add-on subscription, that unlocks a bunch of extras. Thoughts?

"...welcome to a small but important update to Gluon.

* Bug fixes and general improvements."

β€” Release 2024.2 for Gluon 😋

"There is now a new blog settings screen called "crossposting" that shows you all of your available feeds, which you can copy and add to Micro.blog, EchoFeed or any other services that digests RSS feeds and then cross posts them."

Shipped last week, you now have the ability to create categories to your posts with a super simple and slick interface to get started. Categories allows you to add one category per post so that you separate out your content into... well... categories of course.

β€” Introducing Categories on the Scribbles Update Blog

Happy to announce that Scribbles is now open for registration 🥳 Blog post announcing it properly as the week progresses.

Really couldn't be here without all the early adopters! Thank you so very much for all your feedback ✌️❀️

Just a quick PSA for all Scribbles early adopters, this is the last week when you're able to grab the Lifetime plan. You'll always have access to the early adopter yearly plan of $30. I might send out an email to everyone that hasn't yet subscribed β€” totally get that it isn't for everyone too.

Was great fun working on the initial categories feature for Scribbles over the past few days. That's now live. More to do of course, but super duper happy with this initial release. Also had some fun by doing some small "live" updates ✌️❀️

"Just released a new TestFlight for 2024.2 Build 3 that addresses the following issues"

Coffee has been had. Now you have a Reply by Email option in Scribbles. Enter an email you're comfortable sharing and a link will appear at the bottom of each post, with a subject pre-filled.

Will flesh this out more as time goes. You can also find an override for the text that appears ✌️

One mini feature heading to Scribbles either tonight with my evening beer, or tomorrow morning with my coffee 🤓👨‍💻
