Are you using your fully-qualified bsky username (i.e. foobar.bsky.social )?

I originally had issues with using the short name.

Yikes!

You are upping your game!

Now you’re giving shout-outs to people in your demo?

Time for me to go thru my posts and see who I owe shout-outs to!

Issue#11:
This one is weird. Starting in landscape mode, play video. Next, rotate left into portait mode. Some other image is shown but audio of original video is still going.

Rotating back returns to original video.

Issue#10:
a) Is blocking an account supposed to make their comments no longer visible?

When? After blocking? After re-entering the comments window?

b) Is blocking supposed to no longer show their profile info as well?

The problem of drilling down by selecting video -> profile -> video -> profile -> video

still results in a blank unresponsive screen when β€˜backing out’ using the <- button in upper left corner.

Compare the readability of the descriptions.

Issue#9:
Is there anything that can be done about the text of the description so it does not blend into the video (rendering it very difficult to read)?

Bluesky uses shading at bottom.

Will post video in comment to compare.

Please note:

I tried two times to upload this video via @skylight.social and it failed both times (not sure why).

App did not crash, but video failed to upload. Network was fine and uploaded via bluesky app.

I submitted the following screenshot via the standard TestFlight feedback.

Issue#8: Is comment refresh working as expected? It is hard to tell if the β€˜pull down’ gesture is supposed to refresh the comments. No visual cue is shown indicating it is and pulling down often closes window.

Low priority ?

Issue#7: Videos are cropped during playback from profile floating win (compared to the full width being seen on Bluesky)

I’m not sure what can be done about this. I’m not sure it is high priority, but I wanted to raise it.

1.1.0 (45) - changes
on 9th Gen iPadOS 18.3

- Cancel button on description of uploaded video working.

- I can also get to the profile from the comments, but it seems like I need to press on the word and not the profile’s image. I am assuming this is by design.

So happy to see you pop up on my @skylight.social feed tonight.

It must mean the algorithm is coming along. 😎

Keep up the great work!

It is amazing how much *has* been added in the amount of time you guys have been at this.

I didn’t think TT offered it as a setting, so I wouldn’t be so sure SS would either. Hence my comment.

I can’t confirm whether TT has such a personalized setting like that since I deleted the app about 10 days ago. 😎

Issue#4:
There is no way to cancel the description when uploading a video. Click outside box doesnt do it too

Issue#5: (Feature Request)
Should typing β€œ@..” prompt for most likely accounts? No help is given. Is this expected future behavior?

Personally, I am not a fan of this suggestion since inadvertent taps often result in liking some video you had no intention on liking (and you don't notice).

This miscue then forever is plugged into the algorithm showing you more of something you never wanted to elevate.

Crash after hitting comments

In 1.0.1 (31), the screen went black with red "Error" on LHS after clicking on comments.

I have also seen in 1.1.0 (44) the comments unable to be rendered and app becoming unresponsive.

I created this account to separate my testing posts from my personal posts.

NOTE: The first few posts have been re-created here and deleted from my original account: @snoringelephant.bsky.social

Sorry for the confusion. It is better for me this way.
