It’s absolutely the right thing for Apple Vision Pro to support hand controllers, but they need to ship in the box before any game developers will bother to support them.

We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch
If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️

First app to do this will become the go-to Bluesky client. It should be a priority for devs working on clients.
Are there any Bluesky client apps that preserve my reading position in the timeline? I’ve tried the official app, Skeets, and Openvibe, none of which seem to know that reading position is even a thing. A fresh launch of the app puts me at the very top of the timeline every time.
