Got it, thanks! That’s quite close to the top of my todo list, so I plan to get to it as soon as I’m able.

Great idea, I’ll add it to my todo list!
But you’d instead like the new posts to be inserted above your scroll position, and the feed then to animate scrolling you back to the top? (Sorry if I’m misunderstanding at all, I don’t think I’ve ever used this feature in an app myself!)

I’ve had a previous request for that, so it’s already on my list. The way I understood the previous request though was that when you’re already at the top, new posts would push down the existing posts rather than being inserted above your scroll position.

Glad you’re enjoying it! I haven’t gotten around to setting anything like that up yet, no. But if you have any feature requests, feel free to shoot them over in the mentions or to support@aeronautapp.com. Feedback helps me prioritize so it’s always welcome!
Well that’s how it’s supposed to work: the clickable area is the entire line height, not the height of individual characters. But there are sometimes dead zones—which shouldn’t exist—at very specific points between characters.
I appreciate the testing! Definitely seems like the same bug—it happens to me too with a Magic Trackpad. Unfortunately it seems to be an Apple framework bug, so while I can report it to Apple, the chances of being able to work around it on my end are honestly pretty slim.
Thanks for the report! Does this happen consistently, or only occasionally? I’m aware of a bug where it takes multiple click attempts to open links—that bug only occurs sporadically though.
Thanks for the info, will dig into it.
That is also on my list!
Hi! It is something I plan to add, but I don’t have any timeline just yet. I do take into account how often things are requested when ordering my todo list, so thanks for asking!
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll have to add another performance review to my list. Is your feed particularly video heavy? That is one area I haven’t got around to optimizing yet.
Adding an option to turn off the post count indicator is already on my list.
The lack of autofocus is very strange, it works for me on both my Macs (macOS 15 and 26) and I’ve had no other reports of it. May I ask what specific version of macOS 26 you’re on?

Thanks for the detailed feedback!
Your own replies not showing as replies is a weird API timing issue, but on my list to workaround. My guess is that the missing video is the same thing, but I’ll investigate.
I’ll add mouse wheel refresh and clicking in empty space to focus to my list.

That’s a nice idea! You’d open a text field from the main menu or a keyboard shortcut, paste in a URL, and it would go to the post or profile it belongs to. I’ll add it to my list!
Syncing it between Aeronaut on different devices is definitely planned. If you meant syncing it with other third-party clients though, that’s something that would be tricky to support without Bluesky themselves adding it.
Good suggestion—I’ll try to get that into the next release.
And yes, ironically, setting up somewhere to manage my roadmap is on the roadmap.
I had thought about having a search field, but adding a keyboard shortcut to open the feed switcher itself is a great idea! I’ll definitely consider that when I come to redesigning it—thanks!
I also can’t see the scrolling issue on my Mac that’s running macOS 15. Any idea what I need to do to make it happen?
So the autocapitalization setting seems to work for me. With it enabled the post composer tries to correct “hello” to “Hello”, with it off it doesn’t. Am I looking at the right setting? System Settings → Keyboard → Input Sources → Edit… → All Input Sources → Capitalize words automatically.

Finally, I haven’t been able to reproduce the list items being cut off. Looks like you’re using macOS 14 or 15? Are you seeing this on all post lists or just some?
4/4
The period to refresh and go to top is only currently supported in feed views, but there’s no reason Activity can’t support it too—I’ll add it to my list.
I didn’t even know that macOS had an autocapitalization setting, but now that I do I will look into why it’s not being obeyed.
3/4
As for the feed selection, I’d like to add the option but I’d need to come up with something that feels like it belongs in a Mac app and can accommodate lots of feeds (some people have dozens, even hundreds). It’s on my list to look into though.
2/4
Thanks for the feedback!
1. I expect to add something like this eventually—purely a question of finding the time
2. Great idea—I’ll add it to my list
3. It’s on my list, probably as an option rather than default

Creating separate application models rather than continuing to fight with the lexicon models was the best decision I ever made!
I also have a separate set of application models that are way more ergonomic versions of the lexicon models (e.g. separate media and record properties on a post rather than the nested embed property). My view layer only uses the application models and my service layer mediates between the two.
At first an open source package programmatically generated from the TypeScript definitions. When that got abandoned I switched to hand-coded. They’re supposed to be verbatim representations of the lexicon models so I could write something to generate them, but I haven’t bothered so far.
Thanks for reporting! If this happens again could you email me some logs so I can see if I can work out what’s going on? Hold option/alt whilst pressing Help in the menu bar and then select Export Diagnostics.
Also, you can’t use the Unicode form to type mentions or to search accounts by handle—I think both of these can only really be fixed by Bluesky themselves at the API level.
Let me know if you spot anything I’ve missed!
2/2
Managed to get this into the update that just hit the App Store!
A couple of limitations though. You still need to use the punycode version to add accounts, and Unicode handles are not detected in profile text—will try to fix both of these.
