@willrbishop better for you to with a small monthly sub like 0.99? It’s pretty much the norm now. Ivory charging 15 annually or 1.99 a month

Hi @_Davidsmith trying out the beta of Pedometer ++ and do my morning dog walks watch only. Thought I’d give the map tracking a go. At watch onboarding I’d given permission to use my location. When starting a walk I thought something was wrong as I had no map of where I was. Didn’t realise the map view option was behind the settings cog on another page. Could there be an easier way to show how to switch to map view. Thanks

I'm going to keep the TestFlight groups setup as is for a bit longer. At some point I still reserve the right to reset everything if it gets overwhelming.

Since more than a few have asked, you can install the App Store version, subscribe and then go back to the TestFlight version (or not, no pressure, just lots have asked).

I've been so excited about the explosion of new Mastodon apps that I decided to write about it in my column, with a focus on @ivory and @[email protected]. A thousand flowers blooming!

As Twitter kills third-party apps, new life blooms on Mastodon

Developers who crafted now-defunct apps for Twitter can devote their attention to the network that’s become the primary bird site refuge.

@will @atomicpoet I’ll typically recommend the devs, writers and creators in other places like a Teams channel at work or a subReddit or similar. In the other place I guess my interactions would give reach with the ‘algorithm’. So I suppose we’re finding the best way to show support here because it’s hard to show it otherwise

@_Davidsmith really like how that UI looks . Great job 👍

@atomicpoet @will thank you. As someone on here without an “audience “ but who actively follows and likes to interact with interesting voices, being constantly told to boost a post if you enjoy it seems totally pointless. But I’d like to let them know I appreciate the point of view or just ‘like’ what they posted

@lexfri and it’s worse than it was before, with the blue checkmark replies being amplified.
