Pushed out an update to testflight ✈️! Mostly a bunch of small fixes and polish. We also added favs to comments 💜

Hoping this will be one of the last releases before submitting to the app store. Let us know if you have any issues ✌️

29th place! we've been punch'n

In light of recent events we are now running on our own cdn! If you see any issues let us know. We're using @blooym.dev's porxie with imgproxy and @bunny.net. This also means we can finally add our own presets 🥳

Happy graining!

glad it worked! yeah we can add a better fail state, possibly related to the outage and the request failed to reach the pds

ahh gotcha

Instagram strips the exif data unfortunately so you can't recover that.

So this doesn't actually setup the records properly. You need a gallery, gallery items, and photo records for a gallery to display properly on grain.social. Did you actually test this?

Little update to profile opengraph previews, we now show them as collage like we do for galleries. Shows your 10 most recent galleries.

Also be sure to checkout @timtrautmann.com's work!

Grain is intended to be fully functional without having to know what Bluesky is.

They aren’t synced automatically but we’re working on better ways to show mutuals. Right now if you scroll down the feed there’s a suggested for you which shows you people you follow on Bluesky that have grain profiles.

s/o to @chadtmiller.com for the For You inspiration in @grain.social and ofc the OG @spacecowboy17.bsky.social

it gets better the more you like / make playlists! get curating!

Right on!

That’s intended for devs to use. The atproto community is actively working on the best way to present all this to users. This is all very new!

You can’t see/revoke them right now. We don’t own this part of the flow, we’re just developing on the protocol. That’s why checking the scopes you are authorizing on the login screen is important.

You log into the individual apps. Your identity is the same. Presentation of the atmosphere account is still a WIP
