Kaylee’s AppsWipr progress update:
I’ve turned the tide! Thanks to improvements to both the app, my tooling, and skill, the total number of open reports is finally going down! 🙌
In other words I’m fixing all new reports, and also nibbling at the backlog.
We are now at less than a thousand open reports (a nice chunk of which are old and probably fixed). I had 1500+ not that long ago 😬
Now I go back and try to poke at Filtr a bit.
Gracjan Nowak@mipstian No updates from Apple regarding Filtr since the TestFlight build from a few days ago? Does the server component still not work for testers?
Also, it’s great that the number of reports is going down.
I hope you’ll get around to blocking the nag screens on Facebook and Instagram. When I open links from people, Meta wants me to open the mobile app, sign in, or sign up. I don’t want to do any of that and I open the links in Private Browsing, so I frequently have to dismiss these popups.
@gracjan I’m working on the server, with luck maybe I can fix it tomorrow without Apple’s help.

Mehdi Kharraz@gracjan @mipstian A good alternative I found for Instagram links is to open them in imginn.com, which doesn't show any of these annoying popups. I have an auto-redirect rule set up with the RedirectWeb app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/redirectweb-smart-url-router/id1571283503
