Really hopeful start to this product page optimization... then it all goes downhill πŸ˜…

Not bad considering January I was at 8.8k overall. πŸ“ˆ

Been leaning into SEO lately, nice not having to wait on approvals or deal with rejections. πŸ˜…

For the first time in nearly 10 years, I just built Buffers iOS app without Texture / AsyncDisplayKit.

A lot of modernization went into this, and with the new Composer almost out the door, the rest of the dominos can fall, including removing CocoaPods and finally being 100% in on Swift Package Manager.

Subtle orange or not so subtle orange?

Big update from the Buffer team πŸŽ‰

You can now reply to comments directly within Buffer, for LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, and X.

No more switching between apps to engage with your audience. It’s live on web, iOS, and Android, and available on every plan (even free).

Been meaning to add support for buying @alpenglowapp Pro outside of the app for a while. Made good progress last night setting up @revenuecat’s SDK.

Thrilled to share the most significant update to Buffer for iOS since I started building it in 2011. v15.0 brings a full Liquid Glass refresh, a brand new look, and under the hood, I've transitioned the app from mostly Objective-C to Swift.

There's still plenty more to do, but this feels like the best version of Buffer for iOS I've ever shipped, and I'm excited to hear what you think.
