Of the following, what would you like to see next:
- Rewriting private messages
- The current implementation is kinda terrible, and I think I could make it a lot more robust
- Notifications
- This is a pretty big time sink. If you vote for this, note that this could potentially lock up my ability to work on other things for awhile. Due to iOS limitations, it’s possible notifications could be delayed 15ish minutes, so I’m not sure how worth it this is
- F-Droid support
- Lots of people have asked for it
- Progressive web app
- I really don’t want to do this, because I feel it will be a lot of effort for very little benefit. I think the native iOS and Android app provide a better expierence as is. But I would like to eventually make the PWA work
- Auto image compression
- Voyager has a lot of nice things like auto compressing the image if it’s too big. Likely I could lean on the work Voyager has already done.
- Mbin support
- I haven’t looked that deeply into it, but I suspect I would need some API changes from Mbin to make this possible.
- Moderation feature inside of Blorp
- More content embeds
- Currently we have YouTube, Loops, articles, images, and videos. My goal eventually is to expand that (e.g. PeerTube)
If none of those matter to you, I can focus on general bug fixes and small feature reqeusts as they pop up.
If you wouldn’t mind commenting which of those is most interesting to you, or add your own feature request. If you want multiple of those, maybe rank them.
Personally I would love to see peertube embeds, the default piefed UI has this and it works really nicely especially since you can follow peertube accounts directly
Otherwise I’d like to see a way to select custom communities for the widgets, but I probably wouldn’t prioritize it.
Anyway thanks for making this app, I really enjoy the design
Looping back to this. It’s nice to know someone is actually using the widgets. The reason I added them was Apple won’t approve your app if it doesn’t do something that a website can’t do. So it was sort of a hack to the my app approved. I built the widgets so they are completely disconnected from the actual app. I’ll have to see if I can build the configuration into the widget itself since it would be difficult to configure it from within the app. I’d prefer to keep the widget code and app code disconnected, since it’s simpler to maintain.
P.S. I know you saw this, but for anyone else reading this PeerTube embeds have been added.
That’s interesting to know. I personally only use the Picture widget, mainly because I don’t want news on my homescreen, but also because the top post widget is relatively useless as text is mostly cut of.
I personally wouldn’t use the top post widget anyway but if you do want to redesign it, maybe make it more inline with the other one shown (It’s from the Tagesschau App).
I’m not sure if this is something people would use (as I said, I myself don’t need/want it), but as Blorp is the only iOS app offering widgets AFAIK it could be a standout feature, but not sure how much a standout feature does that barely anyone cares about
Absolutely doable. But I'll keep that as lower priority on my list for now
