@boostblue.bsky.social
An alternative Bluesky Client with preserved reading position, drafts, repost muting, bookmarks, in app translations, spoilers and more! Available for iOS and Android! Built with #Flutter! Download: https://onelink.to/boost-blue
Boost Blue weekly update:
- iPad v1 is in submitted to both stores!
- I started work on a big update that will include cross device support of reading position, drafts, bookmarks, and all Boost settings. Because this is a paid feature, I'm also finally building a premium plan.
#buildinpublic
Itβs on the roadmap!

Okay, I know I said iPad would be available early this week. Life got in the way - itβll be available late this week. Itβs essentially done, I just need to do more testing and get the screenshots ready.

iPad v1 is in the works!!
iPad v1 will look essentially the same as the mobile version with a few small tweaks. In a few weeks I'll start working on iPad v2, which will have a design optimized for tablets!
This should be dropping early next week!

Okay - I'll look into it, thanks!

1.7.2 adds support for notification preferences and post subscriptions, matching Blueskyβs functionality.
This would have been released a few days earlier, but Google is really lagging on the review times for some reason.
#buildinpublic #appdev #flutter
Okay - sorry about that. Iβll take a look.

If youβve enjoyed Boost Blue, please consider giving it a review on the App Store/Google Play.
Review count up-ranks an appβs position in search, and more reviews dramatically increases download conversion.
Iβve put a ton of work into this app, so any reviews would be really appreciated. π
iPad v1 is on the near term roadmap!

Basically the same as last week because I shifted to supporting Blueskyβs new notifications.
- Support for self hosted PDS (Ready to submit)
- Push server update
- Direct messages! (In progress)
- iPad v1
- Full feed support
#buildinpublic
Notification preferences update submitted π«‘
#buildinpublic #flutter #sideproject
v1.7.0 is live!
1.7.0 adds support for Bluesky's new push notification types in the notifications tab!
Next up will be an update to allow you to change your notification preferences (for now you can adjust them on Bluesky).
#buildinpublic
Tap on the unread count, or if you want to disable the preserved reading position altogether there is an option for that with the button in the upper right.

The new notification types for @boostblue.bsky.social are coming along well, including the new Bluesky icons on the notifications page!!

This update finally available for Android!
Sorry this took so long, but I submitted iOS and Android at the same time, and Google Play just decided to take two days to review it Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Try the latest version, I think fixed your issue!

Still waiting on Google Play approval - will follow up once that is available as well!
Okay - I forked the package and fixed the issue.
Iβm submitting now, hopefully this will be live tomorrow.
This just stops the app from breaking, full support for the new notification types will be my new focus this week. (Sorry DMs)
Important @boostblue.bsky.social update:
The notifications update breaks the Bluesky package I'm using (pub.dev/packages/blu...). The package hasn't been updated yet, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to fix it.

I'm going to start doing a weekly update on what's next for Boost Blue, starting now!
Boost Blue weekly roadmap update:
- Direct Messages!* (In progress)
- iPad v1**
- Full feed support
* This is probably going to take at least a week.
** v1 for iPad will use the current design.
#buildinpublic
v1.6.4 went out yesterday!
It includes a few bug fixes, and more interactivity on the alerts page - as an example you can tap on any avatar there to open the profile page!
