Christian Selig

As my birthday present to you, I released a small Apollo update that lets you download *all* the new wallpapers in the set in all their sizes and variations, instead of having to do it one-by-one šŸ˜›

I also added an in-app email sign up to be notified of my Next Big Thingā„¢! šŸ˜˜

@christianselig Happy birthday! šŸŽ‰

Wanted to share a couple of things I noticed with the wallpaper stuff:
- ZIP file seems to be missing a few: Mechapollo, Dino Spoon, Floating, and Squingus
- There's an Onwards wallpaper in the ZIP that doesn't appear to be in the main app albums
- The Stickers wallpaper is in the album twice (20 and 24)
- File sizes of the ZIP versions seems to be a little smaller than individually downloaded images

@joshuagrady Fixed! The last is a bug with Apollo inflating them slightly when saving, but there's no quality difference

@christianselig hey christian, is there any way to deactivate the ā€žopen in apolloā€œ function when searching the web and clicking on a reddit link in the shutdown version?
Show threadWillJul 20, 2023
@Nogard Can you just toggle that extension off in Safari? Thatā€™s what Iā€™ve done
Show threadNogardJul 21, 2023
@drumstic oh thanks, thats done it for me. Thought I should turn it off like I turned it on. Thank you very much!
Show threadDennisJul 21, 2023
@Nogard @christianselig Just tap on the puzzle piece in the search bar in safari, then tap manage extensions. There you can deactivate it using the toggle

@Nogard If you update it should be gone yeah

The Apollo mascot gave me some good ideas for fan art, wish I didnā€™t procrastinate learning how to draw now, lol. Couldā€™ve timed it well. Eh, thereā€™s always next year.

Hope things are alright now and arenā€™t too stressful nowadays, though!
