Yeah that’s totally fair. I think that’s a slightly different vision than what I’m going for, but a totally valid design. Personally the multi column feed and post at the same time isn’t for me, but I understand why people like it. I think Voyager is going to continue to optimize for larger screens. I’ve spoken to the voyager dev a bunch, and I’ve been really inspired by what he’s built.

Lol. One of the downsides to running a privacy conscious lemmy client is I don’t collect any data at all that could help me debug errors like this. Unfortunately the only way for me to debug this type of thing is to ask users to report the error with as much context as they can gather.

Edit: sent you a DM

You’re not the only person to ask about image saving. It’s on my todo list.

Would love to help debug this. Any errors in the console? You don’t have JavaScript disabled, do you?

Edit: if anyone else is reading this and sees a blank page or things not loading, please DM me. Would love to get this sorted out.

Blorp dev here. I’m trying not to favor one platform over another. What about the desktop experience makes you feel like it’s not a proper desktop front-end? I know the stack routing is typically a mobile app thing, but I felt like it added to the desktop experience. Feel free to open a GitHub issue with suggestions if you haven’t already.

This is sick!

If you want! Sorry I’ve been a little busy, but I wanted to say thanks for posting to this community. I want this to be a place for Blorp users to communicate with each other.

You’re the first person to create a post here than isn’t me, so thanks!

I’ll look into this soon

Not of F-Droid yet. On my todo list. PRs are welcome

And what do we do with witches billionaires

Honestly, mostly cause I’m busy. I’ve been using brave for years. I work 9-5. When I’m not working, I’m spending that time either on a side project or with friends or family. And it hasn’t bothered me enough yet to make the switch. Generally I like tinkering, but for some reason this specific thing hasn’t interested me much recently. I’d rather spend time customizing neovim lol.

I also went down a browser fingerprinting rabbit whole a few years ago. It became pretty evident to me that the more I try to customize my browser experience, the more unique my fingerprint becomes. It’s impossible to avoid. Here a really interesting article on how you can be fingerprinted even without JavaScript.

So I’m just trying to live my life. I see zero ads since using brave. I don’t have to think about some complex combination of browser extensions, because the built in ad blocking just works. I turned off all the obnoxious crypto stuff on day 1, and I haven’t seen any of it since.

I can’t speak to Scheme as I haven’t spent more than a few days using it. Python has a lot of strengths but also a lot of weaknesses. JavaScript has had to evolve with 100% backwards compatibility. The python you enjoy today would have had to evolve differently if it was the language of the browser.

Look I’m kinda young. Not that young, but too young for Netscape. You clearly lived through more of the history than I did. But imo, the thing ruining the internet isn’t JavaScript, it’s late stage capitalism and greedy companies. You could have Python or Scheme or whatever and late stage capitalism would still have ruined it.

If you feel so strongly that JavaScript is the issue, why don’t you invest your time in helping Webassebly grow? Imo that’s more useful than complaining about JavaScript.

Attacking his politics is valid, and that does make me uneasy about using Brave. I’m curious where the security theater accusation comes from. Brave strikes a nice balance imo. If I wanted true security I would use Tor, but honestly that would add so much friction I would probably quit the internet.

Attacking JavaScript is a stupid argument. So many people just pile on JavaScript. I bet a lot of the same people are into FOSS and self hosting. If you write your app in 100% JavaScript without a backend, it can run on almost every operating system. Think about that for a second. We have the ultimate cross platform language. Yes it’s grown out of something that was originally messy, but a lot of work has been done to make it better.

Don’t attack JavaScript, attack the bad parts of JavaScript like type coercion. Yes, you can probably blame Brendan Eich for that part. Attack the businesses that are enshitifying everything.

For me, it’s because I’m a web developer and most people use chrome. I have to run my code on a browser that is close to what people will really use. I have noticed a blind spot recently where I assumed another project I’m working on is similar, but that one I think has more Firefox users. Likely I’ll have to change my preference by project.

Also, hot take, Chromium is actually a very good browser aside from all google’s nonsense. I’ve had to turn to list virtualization to handle large lists of elements, but I noticed Chromium was much more forgiving of these lists compared to safari. Admittedly I need to do more Firefox testing.

I think people get too caught up on which browser is the best. Probably a good thing we have both brave and Firefox as options. I know brave has done its own share of nonsense, but it’s still miles better than chrome.

This just reminds me of the good old days of Netflix. Now they’re shit, but this reminds me of a time that they weren’t

The old ban the word and you don’t have to worry about the thing that the word describes

I won't be able to get this into the App Store for a couple days, but if you want to join TestFlight, it should already be fixed.

Join TestFlight

Edit: apple might take an hour or so to approve the build. Look for version 1.9.3

Got it, thanks! I think I know what to do. This might take me a bit of time, but I’ll find a fix

Yeah. I need to add better support for system accessibility features. Would you be happy if the default text size stays the same but I respect the system wide larger text setting? The reason I ask is I think the system setting would affect all your apps, not just Blorp.

What I’m trying to get at is Blorp text two small compared to other apps, or are you a person that prefers bigger text across all apps?

Damn I should get into film. I occasionally shoot on my Fuji XS10. Even digital is enough friction that I’m lazy and I don’t take it out as often as I like. But film is beautiful and I would love to learn the art form.

I’ve been shooting on a manual focus lens, which I got to save money. I could probably justify the upgrade but now I’m thinking if I upgrade I lose all my manual focus skill.

This is kinda just me rambling, but my friend is working on a website that maps out all the places you can develop film. https://fsd-en9.pages.dev/

I tried my best to match other similar apps. Any specific elements too small, or is it all too small across the board? Did you increase the text size on iOS or is it set to the default?
