I worked on a small itch I wanted to scratch, called Gluon.photos. It's a short photo wall of the current Micro.blog Photo Discover feed. Unfortunately I can't page through the feed, so we're roughly up to 38 pictures for now until I keep a history of the feed somehow (or add paging).
Enjoy ✌️❤️
I'll be making fundamental changes to Gluon. That means I probably won't reply to any existing support requests (for bugs & changes) as everything will change. I will do my best to cover those points though.
Made a quick update to the Gluon App server that handles push notifications. Push notifications should come through a little quicker now.
I'm really sorry for missing push notifications in Gluon. They should have all come through now. Looks like the push service server crashed. I apologise if you got a lot of notifications! It was broken since the 7th of May! No one told me 😅
Ads in Gluon should be disabled now... so hopefully they should just disappear. I've got a small TestFlight update that removes them fully.
If you’re using Gluon, and like TestFlight builds, because you like to live on the bleeding edge (yes, like bleed air), then look no further.
Latest release is out, and contains… no more ads. They’re gone. Oh and some behind the scenes stuff.
More to come. Slowly.
Hello dear users of Gluon on iOS. I am happy to report that version 2023.1 is now released. There's a lot in this update, so head on over to the abbreviated release notes on the Gluon website.
Thank you to all ✌️❤️ Happy updating.
Gluon 2023.1 on iOS: "Pending Developer Release"
Ah damn, wanted to ship a few Artificially COMPUTER GENERATED icons for Gluon... like these ones:
"Waiting for Review". Goodnight peeps. Glad I finally pushed that button. Too long of a beta.
I've added the ability to reset and remove your extra Gluon based profile data. That'll reset it and also remove the data from edge storage. Should be up in the next TestFlight.
There were a few issues with the new Gluon feeds, for the TestFlight app (and also current ones). Which meant slow updates. Hope to have that resolved now after a few days of making a change in Bunny (was caching related).
Wonder what I was planning when I registered those domain names 🤷♂️ Fun aside... when I first created Gluon, I called it "Gluon Social".
There will also not be any timeline syncing anytime soon in Gluon. Work needs to happen on the Micro.blog end to make that happen. I can make it happen my end, but that's a lot of work for me. Would be a paid feature if I did it.
