really hoping that Graysky’s translation feature will bring different communities closer together

It’s been a blast sharing graysky with people from across the planet. hoping to make that easier

some thing I can do: - internationalisation of the app high priority after release. Just need to get the systems in place - replicate the official app’s multi-language features

also, been thinking: it’d be pretty cool if it detected the language of the post you’re replying to, and translated your reply for them!

finally got around to doing an iPad design pass - gave stuff some right padding, so it's not full width - context menus are attached to their buttons now
ipad screenshot of graysky feed. stuff is no longer full width, including the imageAction sheet context menu is actually attached to the button that triggered it now

This makes Android feel a lot more like an actually intentionally made app and not a coincidence of using react native lol

ok but can images work now. I want to post images. enough with the bit. it was funny for 2 minutes. why is the cdn doing a bit. cdns shouldn't do bits. they should serve images

technically they're always serving bits. but they should be serving bits not doing bits

about 30 minutes after posting this I was informed that I potentially already have fucked up a potentially large number of posts
Samuel@samuel.fm· 15 Sept 2023
Makes perfect sense to me but I don’t want to accidentally fuck up a potentially large % of posts. Especially since this would be all posts not just a weird special case like, say, custom poll posts

the future of posting is here
The quoted post with a massive POSTED VIA GRAYSKY watermark overlaid
bryan newbold@bnewbold.net· 15 Sept 2023
doesn't seem that hard, you can just take the input text, render it to a jpeg, and put a sweet Greysky™ watermark on the image. you can even have festive holiday themed watermarks. default to efficient high-compression, upsell to GreyskyPlus for sharp PNG and better kerning

Bilbo baggins meme template Caption is: after all, why not why shouldn’t i put random shit into the self-labelling field
Why@why.bsky.world· 15 Sept 2023
Paul and I actually disagree here, i think it’s totally fine to use labels in this way. Labels are statements made by some party about a post, and the self-labels are statements made by the author of the post. Plain and simple imo
