Giving @grain.social some flare ✨. The og:image by default will now display a preview of your gallery in a collage format. Probably have a way to customize this in the future. Still playing around with different ideas. Here's a few examples: grain.social/profile/chad...

iOS build v1.0.0+24 adds a new photo library screen accessible from the app drawer. If you upload photos with the toggle to include metadata you should see your photos organized by date. This is currently read only but we'll add more functionality soon. That's all! Have a nice weekend 🏔️

A new iOS build v1.0.0+23 is now available.
Fixes:
- Facet parsing in profile descriptions.
- Better handling of keyboard focus after creating a gallery.
- Better handling of photo limit when initially creating a gallery.
Thanks @tynanpurdy.com!

✨Cool new feature in the iOS app: you can now edit all your gallery’s alt texts at once. We’ll probably bring this back to the web app too.

Haven’t posted in a while. We’ve been heads down, working to bring a native mobile app to life. Until then, hope you’re enjoying the summer!

Grain is leveling up! 🌟 📚 👾 ⬆️
We just added rich text support (hashtags, links, mentions) to profiles, galleries, and comments. You can mention other users in gallery descriptions and comments and they will get a notification. You can also add tags which help make the galleries more discoverable.

At the @ire.org conference this week and using the #IRE25 hashtag? Don't forget to add alt text to the images you share so that everyone has access to them.
If you're new to writing alt text, this resource from Veronica Lewis can help you out.

Gallery comments are live!
You can now leave comments on a gallery or on individual photos. You can also reply to others and get notified when someone responds. All comments, whether for the gallery or its photos, are shown in one place so it’s easier to keep track of the conversation.

We pushed an update to the timeline to include favorites and now it takes a bit longer to load. We have a fix in the works that should make it snappy. 🫰

Bunch of UX updates rolled out today! You can now upload directly to galleries making it easier to get started. Also styling updates across the board. Borders are more roundy, better secondary buttons, and we now have 3/4 aspect ratio grids on the profile page (instagram vibes).

Launching EXIF support today! There's a new checkbox on the uploads page that enables parsing of photo metadata. We parse a small set tags from the Exif 2.3 standard instead of everything to keep it simple. We don't parse location data and the raw file is stripped on upload.

Really excited to announce that Grain now has our own moderation service that runs totally on our own infrastructure, built on the same tools that run Bluesky and on the #atprotocol. We are aiming to be a totally new social network focused on photography. 📸
