Released a minor update to Gluon this weekend. Both 2022.2 for Android and 2022.5 for iOS. Release notes here. Basically fixes a crashing bug when opening the post editor... and probably added some new crashes 🤣

Thinking of offering Gluon for Android as a direct download. The Google Play store seems to be getting real bullish about stuff… and being passive aggressive about things and compliance.
Working on a few minor bug fixes for Gluon. Seen a few crashes when opening up the composer screen. Hope to get those out next week. TestFlight tomorrow (maybe) and Android beta today.
Just shipped a small update for Gluon on iOS. Release notes here for 2022.4. Enjoy ✌️❤️
Finally shipped a huge update to Gluon for Micro.blog on Android. Super happy to get this out to everyone. Release notes are here. ✌️❤️
Shipped a new beta update to Gluon for Android, Build 53 (2022.1). Contains a few layout tweaks and other bug fixes. Also have an iOS TestFlight version coming out after it has been approved.
I need to write up some longer posts with all the updates! 😅
Yesterday I shipped a new beta for Gluon on Android. It's available here on the Play Store. It includes a raft of changes that I released on iOS. Check out all the "2022" iOS release note here to get an idea 😋
There will be a new Gluon for Android beta this week (Build 52, 2022.1). It's ready to go and I'm awaiting approval from Google to release it. Pretty excited to get this out 😋 Still a few rough edges, but I am super happy! TBA ✌️❤️
Hope to have an update, in the form of a beta, for Gluon on Android next week. I've managed to bring across nearly all changes from the iOS version ✌️❤️
For what it's worth... I have started working on updates to Gluon for Android 🤗 Lots to do... but the main point is that I started.
Submitted the next version of Gluon to Apple. Hopefully that will land on your handhelds soon.
Going to be tweaking that filter icon a little in Gluon. It'll fill up when you have a filter set, so you know that you've set something.
New iOS TestFlight for Gluon (2022.3 Build 4) is out with a little filter icon on the timeline screen so you can quickly toggle between hiding replies and long form posts, amongst a few other fixes.
Also looks good in dark:
This graph shows how many times Gluon posted a "this promoted content was viewed" on the Discover timeline. You can see that little nudge at the beginning with the Twitter takeover news.
It's really humbling to see that it grew over twice the size over a few weeks! ❤️
Rocking out Retro style 😍 Was testing link pasting and other bits.
