Gluon now has much better error tracking. I made a mistake earlier on by setting the wrong release name, so all the errors were garbage. Now fixed and working like a dream with line numbers for the code in question.

Just released TestFlight version 2020.5 (Build 19) for Gluon. Fixes issues with sending to the correct blog (when you have multiple). Thanks Paul for reporting and bearing with me. Also tweaks a few UI bits and changed some wording.
I’m hoping this will be the release candidate that will ship, if Apple approve it, at some stage next week. Then it’s onto Android and the new Apple device version ❤️
Best feature for 2020.5 is the hidden pink icon. Nothing beats it!
I’ll be sorting out some stuff for Gluon this week. Top priority is to get a new push certificate to Manton… otherwise push might stop working at some stage this week 😂
I’ll be doing some very minor tweaks to the iOS Gluon beta over the weekend and then hopefully ship 2020.5 next week (if it gets approved). Has taken longer to get to this stage, but I’m fairly happy with where it is now. Especially the pink icon.
Waiting for Jean to update the August photo challenge for week 3, and then I can publish it to Gluon (latest beta) 😋
New TestFlight build (16) out for Gluon. Improves challenge content updates, account switching/adding improvements and of course the “minor little thing” that is called… PINK.
Naturally I forgot a minor little thing with Gluon, so will ship that update out to testers during the day (Thursday/Friday).
Just updated both iOS TestFlight and Android beta versions for Gluon. No user facing changes. However, the Micro.blog post challenges now come from the Gluon content API - much easier to manage. On iOS I also re-wrote multi-site switching and logic.
If anyone is interested in grabbing some JSON info for the current Micro.blog Photo challenge, here is Gluon’s feed that I’m currently integrating into the app. Doubt I’ll change it much, but if you’re using it - let me know ✌️
I made a small mistake in Gluon that hides the Photo Challenge prompts. Sorry for that! Hope to have them back in the next update tomorrow. (both platforms).
Just pushed out a TestFlight update for Gluon (2020.5 - Build 11). Includes another weeks worth of photo challenge keywords (Android also! Build 28). Also rewrote multi site handling, including handling tags for different blogs. Plus some others.
Thanks all for the feedback ✌️
Talking about Gluon, I’m probably going to remove the multi site support temporarily. It’s causing a few unsolved issues… and I don’t know exactly when I can solve it.
I think I'm gonna slowly uninstall the current version of Gluon in favour of the Swift UI version. I really want to get into it and live and breathe it.
Just added the Micro.blog August Photo Challenge to the latest iOS TestFlight build 10. It’s out for you. Android beta (Build 26) is coming too, just uploading and it needs to propagate through their store. ✌️
Happy photo posting!
Here is another screenshot:
