Cool app! It’s quite polished and scrolling is smooth on a 13 Mini. Some quick thoughts:

- I didn’t see any loading indicator, and some videos took multiple seconds to load - When I scroll up then back down, I get a white gradient at the bottom of the screen that goes away after a few seconds - I’d like to be able to expand the description text, but clicking it didn’t do anything - Without signing in, my initial feed was almost entirely ICE videos

Looks nice. Why not add ActivityPub as well? Or is this not possible?

Congratulations on launching.

Also this is probably the most comprehensive what to test notes in a test flight I've ever seen iirc

Most of the videos are related to American politics. Would be nice to see more diversity.

Ask creators you follow to add Bluesky as a publishing target. Alternatively, someone builds a pull through cache and content is ripped from TikTok and Insta for serving on the ATproto fabric (yt-dlp still works well for ripping from Big Tech social media storage targets).

What are your thoughts on ATproto after implementing a client?

Installed. Had a look around. Quite fast. Nice and responsive. No option to share though… wanted to send a video outside of Bluesky and no option. I can re-whateverthewordisinbluesky, but no external share.
