#snac finally sends me push notifications!

Two things you can see here... It's pretty hot! That's why I stayed home and implemented a missing feature into snac. That's what you can also see - it finally sends push notifications to devices! In this case, we can see notifications coming from #MastoBlaster App for iPhone.

What we can also see, it's still a bit faulty and not the expected content, but a first success here at least ;) I'll make some further adjustments when there's time and get in touch with @[email protected] to check if we can get this upstream. Thanks to @[email protected] for testing with me :)

In the last few days, I’ve received some interesting bug reports/suggestions.
Thank you!

I’ll try to fix all of them in the coming days.

Giving another try at #MastoBlaster by @stefano on my #GoToSocial instance. First good news (that was a blocking point): the last read position in timeline is now kept intact after a timeline update. 🥳

EDIT: woops, seems like to last position gets lost sometime :-/

With the latest MastoBlaster builds, feedback reporting issues or problems has dropped dramatically. There will probably be a few more TestFlight builds, but I think the time is coming to promote the app to "stable" and release it officially on the App Store.

As a reminder, the app will remain free for all friends of BSD Cafe, illumos Cafe, or anyone using it to connect to snac instances.

More details once I've worked out a few specifics.

Stay tuned!

Stefano Marinelli - Starling instance May 24

This is a test from my new Starling instance on FreeBSD.
It seems quite good and MastoBlaster is working here, too.

MastoBlaster build 95 is out, and I am getting close to declaring it stable.

The biggest update in this build is making the Home tab behavior completely explicit. Under the hood, I changed the tab dispatch in MastoBlasterApp.swift, added the Home tab notifications in NotificationDelegate.swift, and moved the actual scroll/refresh behavior into TimelineView.swift so the timeline state stays coherent.

Here is exactly how it works now:

Tap Home from another tab: Switches back to the Home tab.
Tap Home while already there: Scrolls the current timeline to the newest posts.
Tap Home again while already at the top: Refreshes the timeline (with a 1.5-second cooldown to prevent accidental spamming).
Long-press Home: Opens the timeline picker.

Other changes and fixes included in build 95:

Added a setting to completely disable Apple Intelligence.
Redesigned the notification view to be larger and make much better use of screen space.
Fixed the compose window layout for small devices like the iPhone mini.
Profile and banner images can now be tapped to enlarge.
Added support to approve or deny follower requests.
Added per-instance and per-account connection timeouts.
Added a visible Back button to the settings sheet.
Updated the filtered notice UI: it now shows "Filtered Post ()" directly in the header and removes the separate "Matched:" line.

Test it out and let me know if everything holds up.
