Q: What's going to happen to Graysky?
A: I'm going to keep it alive and maintained, but I'm not planning on adding any ambitious new features - I'll be putting my efforts into making the official app the best it can be!
If anyone is interested in taking over the app, please do let me know

Bossettyou need to port over the 'makes money' feature ASAP
Bossett@bossett.social· 16 Dec 2023It occurs to me that Graysky may be the most profitable application in the Bluesky ecosystem 👀
Barry DorransHopefully your first work item is iPad support 😂

Alice CannI do like having GraySky and BlueSky to switch between - one to read on and one to post on.

Akiko Kumagara 【IRIAM】 💜🐻In-app translation would be a game-changer for the official app. 🙏

Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦Are you on iOS or Android? On iOS it's pretty easy to translate post text inline using the system text selection thing (at least now that text can be selected in the app :)

Still best to just have this be a native feature where possible, imo, especially on a social app/site which has a lot of communication between people speaking different languages.
If it's not possible, at least the current methods are functional enough, just much slower.

🍁 thankful frood 🦃Do you all not have a little translate button on the expanded view of a post?
1 1Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦Ah, I guess that's more usable now that there's an in-app browser - I learned not to click it because it led you out of the app to Safari previously
1 2🍁 thankful frood 🦃Yeah the in app browser really makes it work pretty well

Firaga Walk With Me🔥Thank you for all the hard work done in Graysky. It's a great alternative to the official app.
Can't wait to see what you will do now as part of Bluesky.

Every time I see Graysky, I always thought of one of my favorite 311 songs.

Gama Valle | KidLit Author - is out on subCongratulations! I feel sad and excited at the same time. I really love Graysky. It’s sad to know it won’t get any more big updates. But I hope you’re able to bring better design and features to the main app.

José Ignacio Suárez Armas 🦋I'm completely devastated.

Sebastian BauerAlso I’m sad for Graysky but man, the improvements you could bring to the original app 👀
1 1Sebastian BauerAlso also I would love to contribute on GraySky as a project for new features but I’m a .NET dev and afraid I’d leave the project in ruins by accident 😂

kristo jorgensonQ: if you were going to build an ATProto client for a specific niche interest, would you fork from Graysky or Bluesky to start?
