New Archivist update is live on iOS (Android to follow shortly). Did a whole load of localisations! And yes, even American spelling for my friends across the pond! I’m going to go collapse somewhere 😮‍💨

#internetarchive

Tough dev day. Chasing Apple on an indexing issue making my app & dev name invisible on App Store Search. Raised a ticket 10 days ago; got a boilerplate reply. Spent an hour on the phone only to be told: "we can’t legally tell you anything." #applesupport #appledeveloper #indiedev

Also just managed to implement importing Lists from your @archive.org account into Archivist. Today’s been a good day! Next patch is going to be a big one! Got a bit more testing and tidying up to do but it should be out by this time next week!

Huge honor to see Archivist Browser featured in today’s @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy under "Hey look at this".

Between this and the MacStories feature and Brad and Will’s pod, it's been incredible to see the support for a native mobile, privacy-first gateway to the @archive.org collection.

A video of p2p (QR/URL) folder sharing in Archivist (to add visual context to my last post). Hard to get the sharing concept across when on a single emulated device, but I hope you get the idea. If the recipient doesn't have the app, it will open on the store page. Thoughts? @willsmith.fun

Experimenting with sharing favourite folders via text, email and instant message.

I think this could be a killer feature. What do you think?

Trying to clean up OCR errors in text files. Working great on some, not so great on others.

Thought I’d share iOS analytics for Archivist Browser’s release. Great numbers! Looking forward to seeing the impact from the MacStories mention in this weeks newsletter.

@viticci.macstories.net Hi! I’m an indie dev who loves the Internet Archive but found it hard to browse on mobile.
So I built Archivist: a modern client for iOS.
• Completely Free
• No Ads / No Tracking
• Media Player & Airplay
Would love for you to check it out

Working on porting Archivist to run natively on Linux, mainly so it will run on Steam Deck and other handhelds. Got audio and a BS (not of death). Encouraging! #archivistbrowser #internetarchive #solodev #linux #flutter #publicdomain #steamdeck #softwaredevelopment #indiedev #handhelds #tech
