Lots under the hood: stronger account recovery, safer session refresh, sturdier upload retries, more reliable view tracking, plus a pile of crash and race-condition fixes. Calmer even when the network isn’t.

Short version: better making, messaging, feeds, and notifications — and fewer tiny betrayals from your phone.

Welcome Home.

Notifications got a big cleanup. Taps land right, replies classified clearly, unread badges stop vanishing when you leave the page, no more double-buzz from iOS pushes. Less noise, more signal.

Profiles, search and safety got sharper: text/lists linkify, easier profile reporting, clearer verified chips, stronger search sorting, blocked users stay out of feeds, and our “do not train” C2PA assertion is now always included.

Feeds feel more alive, less haunted. For You runs through recs, Popular has better source/time controls, Explore surfaces fresher diVines, and counts stay steady. Playback’s smoother: better first frames, cleaner overlays, calmer recovery.

DMs got more human too — emoji reactions, markdown formatting, a composer that grows as you write, full emoji picker, more accessible send buttons, and tougher recovery when delivery only half-lands.

Divine 1.0.14 is live on iOS.

Three weeks of work since 1.0.12 — more control, cleaner loops, fewer weird edges. This one’s for the people who notice the details.

Creator tools got serious: clip speed controls, timeline volume editing, local audio imports, audio extraction from your own clips, sharper exported layers, better split/edit handling. Clip trash now gives you a 30-day safety net before deletes are final.

There are so many vine compilations from the old classics. Now there are compilations of all the new divines!

We strongly oppose the Unified Attestation initiative and call for app developers supporting privacy, security and freedom on mobile to avoid it. Companies selling phones should not be deciding which operating systems people are allowed to use for apps.

Unified Attestation

Unified Attestation is a free, open-source alternative to Google Play Integrity with offline verification and simple app + server integration.

I joined @rabble on the Revolution.Social podcast to talk about the intersection of technology and media.

We discussed venture capital and media economics, the Indie Web, how newsrooms are approaching AI, and why the systems we build should support communities rather than extract from them.

We talk about Matter, Elgg, ProPublica, and more.
