I have decided to make the Skyliner repository public, rather than wait until refactoring is complete (I'd like to take my time with it and really make it great)

Be warned it's a bit messy!

Additionally, I intend on implementing features in the future that might make the app not fully client-side. It remains to be seen, but I felt like AGPL covers all bases.

Skyliner v1.0.0 is now available on the App Store:

apps.apple.com/us/app/skyli...

Open sourcing is TBA, pending major refactoring; likely to correspond with release of version 1.1.0 on the App Store

Quite unhappy with the look and feel of Skyliner, might rip down the UI to the foundation and start over.

I think I expanded the scope too much for an MVP and it’s just not pretty or refined enough for my standards now.

Will mess around and see what happens..

v0.60.0 Skyliner TestFlight is under review, this update enables 2FA logins and UI fixes.

Beware there is no display of error messages yet, I’ll try to get to it asap.
August 16, 2025 at 6:32 PM
2FA login has been implemented, should be available in the upcoming TestFlight release alongside UI fixes
August 15, 2025 at 6:33 PM
V0.55.0 under review:
- Adds functionality to reply or comment on posts
- Fixes some UI bugs

This will most likely be the final feature release version until V1.0.0+

It’s time for refinement
August 7, 2025 at 5:44 PM
Looks like iOS 26 Beta 5 has caused some UI bugs for Skyliner
August 7, 2025 at 4:14 PM
Planning to knock out the reply/comment feature and then spend the next few weeks fixing bugs, refining existing UI/features, refactoring codebase
August 6, 2025 at 5:19 PM
Not sure why Apple decided to take its sweet sweet time to approve 0.50.0 but it’s out for TestFlighters

Post comments/replies in works
August 5, 2025 at 10:12 PM
I’ll try to release Skyliner 0.50.0 soon. It brings post threads and notifications to the app.

From there I’ll probably only add very few features:
-enable comment functionality on posts
-personalization features requested

Everything else will be refining and codebase work.

Need to go through the old code and figure out how Claude extracted content of the post otherwise notifications feature is ready
July 29, 2025 at 5:11 PM
Took a break from development but back at it now and implementing notifications. Ugly right now but almost there, might send out update tomorrow

Any iOS or Swift developers know of good resources to learn backend Swift?

I’m pretty good at SwiftUI and I’d like to be just as good at backend

I learn by simultaneously doing what I am learning, if that helps

Thanks

Next up:
Get post threads working
Get 2FA working
Maybe notifications

Thanks to @cjrriley.ca for responding to my GitHub issue and working on it so quickly 😊

Skyliner TestFlight v0.40.5 is out, you can now view other people’s profiles

It also implements a feature request by @massicotte.org to hide trending on header

Settings button is on user profile tab, it’ll open a sad sheet with a single option for now

All other feature requests are welcome 😄
July 26, 2025 at 2:57 AM
I implemented the ability to view other profiles. I will need to refactor for simplicity before pushing this to TestFlight. Not a fan of how messy it got.

Super pretty lake effect banners though!

Upcoming beta version will hopefully stop being anemic

Skyliner TestFlight version 0.40.0 is out, all other builds have been expired

This version corrects the versioning mistake, so it has gone backwards

Beta V0.40.0 brings new features such as:
- Timestamps on posts
- Functional post actions
- Post embeds
- Refined buttons
- Refined padding for posts

BadgeIcon 1.2 is out! 🚀 This is a tiny Swift package for creating icons that look like the ones in Settings. This version adds 68 new predefined icons, bringing the total number of predefined icons to *118*!

Skyliner should become a lot more usable soon. I’m archiving the next test flight release bringing embeds to the app

Pilot version of Skyliner is officially open publicly for testers on TestFlight.

Please feel free to try out the app. Features are limited as the core focus is on experience. Post actions and embeds are next on the todo list.
