MastoBlaster Build 75 is here!

A new build is now available on TestFlight. I tried to solve or improve some of the issues you've kindly pointed out.

The most important ones are:

  • Now dark mode can be configured to show a grey background instead of black. Less optimised for battery, but much more readable. "It works for me!"
  • Added the “Bookmarks” menu item, so bookmarks can now be displayed
  • VoiceOver improvements - I'm not an expert, so I hope I'm doing it right
  • GoToSocial - editing posts and push notifications should now be working - Notifications needed both relay and app support. Please test!

    Great work! Everything works on first try.
    If I could have two wishes, they would be: a translation button directly in the post, with the option to choose your own translator set in iOS as the system translator, and secondly: Apple shortcuts ;)
    Thanks a lot, I'm going to test it!

      @mastoblaster Maybe one more thing: silencing conversations in notifications. Thanks.

        One more thing: why does the message "Apple intelligence" appear next to the image in my project @Ptakobouda ? This feature is not even available in our country. What's more, it was photographed with an Android and processed by IFTTT ;). Thanks.

          @Zoufalec@mastodonczech.cz @Ptakobouda@mastodon.social Thank you for your feedback! The Apple Intelligence logo appears when a media has no description. On supported phones, you can tap it and have the Alt Text generated locally by your own phone. It’s supposed to help when the original author didn’t set an alt text, so the reader can have an idea of the media contents. To be honest, it’s not great - at all - and sometimes it produces some weird stuff. Maybe things will improve, but that’s not much I can do (except using external LLMs, and I’m against this)

            Thx.
            I don't see that in other applications, so I was confused.

              @joel@tumfatig.net great, it seems it’s working. Are notifications working now? You probably need to logout/login again.

                Should I get Push-Notifications for likes and replies with Snac? I don't get any, the notifications inside MastoBlaster are working.

                  @snackr@nano.uninformation.org not at the moment. Snac doesn’t support push notifications via mastodon api so the only supported ways are the ones you can configure inside snac

                    Thanks for the info 👍. I already suspected that, because none of the apps I tried (I tested them all 😀) can do this.

                      @mastoblaster Regarding the features I do not see the possibility of subscribing or recovering existing subscriptions to hash tags. Normal? Sorry if I missed something. Anyway, congratulations, excellent work!
