I really enjoy seeing panoramas in Vision Pro, but there’s one big thing missing: sound. It would be interesting if the iOS camera app also recorded ambient sound during a pano capture and found some way to loop it.

@kalyndavis Thanks! I have a rough implementation for iOS in TestFlight (https://testflight.apple.com/join/kYtX0FvK), but it has a bit of a background crasher relating to SwiftData and CloudKit that I'm trying to figure out right now. The iPad version works reasonably well, but I think I want to really rethink the iOS experience before shipping. Either way, if you install it, let me know what you think!

@kalyndavis It mostly depends on how well this launch goes! It's a pretty competitive market for feed readers on iOS, although I believe I have some interesting ideas that would make this app a little different…

@poliorcetics Unfortunately it seems to be an App Store requirement for any app that has a webview that can browse/load links. It looks like a few other feed readers with webviews are 17+ as well. 😔

I’m pretty new to CloudKit, but my iOS and visionOS builds all automatically switched over to using the production CloudKit database when uploaded to TestFlight… except for my mac build.

Have others ran into this before? I can manually force a local mac build to use the production database and it works… but damn that seems prone to error when uploading a Mac App Store build.

I'm particularly happy with the focused reader mode, especially in visionOS. Being fully immersed in an environment while listening to music and swiping through posts is my new favorite way to catch up on my favorite blogs.

I've been working on an RSS feed reader because I have very specific opinions about how an app like this should be. It's also a great excuse to work on a visionOS app.

I've opened up 100 spots for people to try it on TestFlight before it is released on the App Store. Check it out and let me know what you think!
