Next step with #Holos and custom domains: being able to use your root domain as your identity. A subdomain would point to the relay via CNAME, but your identity would use your root domain.
I will write a small how-to to make the setup straightforward for everyone.
Updates are now available on #FDroid if you use the custom repo:
Don't uninstall your current version, just update the app.
#Holos 1.1.0 has been released.
Account recovery is now available: optionally back up your account data with a passphrase and restore it after a reinstall (strongly recommended if you have no cloud backup configured).
The relay stores your backup but cannot read it, it is encrypted on your device before upload (zero-knowledge).
Recovery is managed in Settings > Data & Backup.

## Added - Account recovery: back up your identity with a passphrase so you can restore it if you reinstall the app - Recovery management in Settings > Data & Backup - Push notifications now work even when the app is in background ## Fixed - Follow requests could not be approved when m...
If you don't have a backup configured on #Holos, losing your device or reinstalling the app means losing your followers and control over your posts.
I'm working on an automatic encrypted recovery system. Your private key, followers, following, and posts will be backed up to the relay, encrypted with a passphrase only you know. The server never sees any of it. On a new device or a fresh install, just enter your passphrase and everything is restored.
A fix has been deployed to the relay for people receiving push notifications with mentions unrelated to their account.
That was noise from public messages landing in the shared Inbox. No app update needed.
#Holos 1.0.0 is available! With this release, Holos moves from release candidate to production. This version adds a reverse timeline option to display posts oldest-first.
A lot of improvements have also been made to the relay, especially around Bloom filter performance, that are not always reflected in app changelogs.
Available on #FDroid custom repo:

We first wanted to wait for the app to be available on #FDroid before publishing on Google Play, but it seems to be taking longer than expected. We will therefore publish on Google Play without waiting for the F-Droid release. We will keep you informed.
#Holos 1.0.0-rc-5 has been published!
A top banner notifies you of new messages to avoid jumps after the sync. You can now archive/delete your thread conversations. The automatic hiding when scrolling can be disabled and you can display media without cropping.
