The new beta of Micro.blog for iOS is coming along really well. We’re at the point where I can see the finish line, and I’m comfortable punting some more features into the next update.

@manton that's amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing and using it.

@vincent hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣

@manton what features/updates are in it?

@eshwarnag It's mostly a redesign, with new tabs and navigation that is consistent across iOS and Android. No new features yet but some things will just work better.

@manton is it a test flight beta that we can use?

@eshwarnag Yep, TestFlight link here. It'll be updated later this week with the latest in-progress changes that are almost ready to ship.

@manton often when I launch it (the TestFlight beta) the timeline is an empty scroll view with no content, pull to refresh doesn’t work. Sometimes switching to the mentions view and back fixes it, sometimes i have to force restart the app.

@manton Improved usability and platform cohesion are features! Love it.

@pajp I've seen this issue also. Still looking into it ✌️ I believe it might have to do with a sizing issue of the container that loads the webview.

@vincent Great that it’s being tracked! It’s what’s keeping me from using the app regularly. That and the fact that it crashes every time I tap the “posts” button.

@pajp Does it crash with the latest beta? And when you say “post”… is that in a reply, or a new blog post?

@pajp Oh sorry, the actual “posts” that you want to view, in the main menu?

@vincent the “posts” button that comes when I tap my profile picture. I’d attach a screenshot but micro.blog doesn’t let me do that to replies…

@pajp yeah, ok, I know which one you mean. There is a small change that will come in the next TestFlight build that should perhaps fix this also… if not, let me know. I’ll talk to @manton when he wants to release it. Although I’m working on adding uploads first, this week, so it might be best to ship that also.
