Alright, Saturday night#TestFlight release of#Skyscraper. Adding back custom app icons, and introducing the “Interesting Stats” page. It’s a place for fun odds and ends about your Bluesky experience.

Here’s one of the Stat pages, a personal “Week in Review”

Note for all users on TestFlight, the current subscription features are FREE WHILE IN TESTFLIGHT. Due to Apple’s Sandbox, you won’t be charged while on TestFlight, so feel free to give the IAP a go and see how it works! I could use the testing help!

Well, due to not understanding the ramifications of some changes, a late HOTFIX push of#Skyscraper going live to fix OAuth issues. I thought these wouldn’t hit as soon as they did for some users.

This includes some work on subscriptions I was not ready to push, but it should work well!

Help get me ready for 1.0!
I’m getting what I feel like is “close” to a 1.0 release for#Skyscraper. I'm making a smaller TestFlight cohort to review monetization features, and some other new parts before go-live.

Interested in seeing it before the full TestFlight? DM me your email or reply here!

A new build of#Skyscraper live this morning which adds a feature I like, a Safari extension to open Bluesky links around the web in Skyscraper!

Also added the ability to Edit your own posts up to 15 minutes after creation of a post, along with a bunch of other minor fixes.

New build posted with a couple neat features!

- Thread archive: create an archive of a thread, with a sharable URL you can send to friends who aren’t on Bluesky yet.
- Account backup: download an HTML/JSON archive of your posts

Now available on TestFlight!#iOSdev#BuildInPublic#indiedev

Time for the less-fun part of launching a product. Monetization. I want something fair that helps create some revenue for @skyscraperapp.bsky.social.

How would you monetize a alt-Bluesky app?

One of the coolest and most rewarding parts of working on#Skyscraper has been seeing the feedback of dedicated users. The comments and testing are building a much better app!
I can confirm that the latest#Skyscraper with UIKit enabled scrolls much better on iPhone and iPad 👍

As tooling is built for#Skyscraper, it leads to other ideas. To support some other features, I needed to pull Jetstream data.

That lead to this idea: Keyword Alerts -> https://api.getskyscraper.com/alerts/

This is a web tool. Sign up and get email alerts for keywords!

So I’m at a good spot now with ~100 active test flight features, where the feedback I get isn’t overwhelming and is usually high quality. So if a user requests something, I try to add it to my short term todo list and get it in.

I think the quick follow up builds user trust, so aim to do that.

Want to give a shoutout to our great#TestFlight users! A couple great feature suggestions came in today. The screenshots you send really help our developer fix bugs quickly!

Updated build of#Skyscraper just went live. Some improvements to notifications and chat.

And a new feature I love, tap a handle on a profile page and you’ll get the option to copy the user handle!

Reminding me that I had put this together over a decade ago. I need to review and see how much of it stands up lol.
