Hey so shoutout to @getskyscraper.com for being not just the best way to use Bluesky on an iPad, but having a dev who goes out of their way to solve—in just days!—an issue only ONE user (me) has reported. That’s like…the Mamdani of support experiences.

I'm not getting my Duo today, but now I can share the cool Skyscraper feature I built for it. Hopefully it works? In "Laptop" mode, Skyscraper will scroll through your posts automatically. The post is mirrored on the bottom screen like a water reflection. And you can touch it and interact with it!

Oh other fun 1.8 features and facts. You can subscribe to your favorite YouTube channels in app, and then use Picture in Picture mode straight from the app. So watch a video while you check out your Bluesky or Mastodon feed! All without leaving the app lol.

I forgot to mention, 1.8 adds iPhone Duo support as well! It should look great there on Day 1! (or today, if anyone happens to work at a Fruit Company or got a review unit at a random event today).

I'd be amiss to not mention just how much better the Mac app is now, with better short cut support and better theme support. A TON of new small settings and customization options. And the app now supports 30 different languages. And I'm putting the app on promo! $10 Pro mode for the next week!

Here’s some of the release notes. On top of Mastodon support, the app now has a new Reader mode for Standard.Site, that includes full sync and support for RSS (with multiple sync services), and Micro.Blog! Cross-posting, unified notifications page, and much much more in 1.8.

Anyways, this is the start of the next releases for @getskyscraper.com, which I hope to have out for all platforms sometime in the next week. It has some other great features that I think everyone will really love. And then I start on 1.8, where I have some very cool things in progress.

If you are looking for super specific content only on your TV, you can actually use either Oscillate mode (think all posts, text/images, URLs, video etc) or Channels (video only) where you will only get content from a specific user account or hashtag. This could be very cool for conferences?

There's also a "Channel" mode, where you can cycle through an "endless" (or at least it a very long) playlist of media that is currently in any feed you have pinned/follow. I found this awesome last Saturday, where I followed a college football feed and essentially had endless highlights scrolling

If you find a post you like, you can click in with your Apple TV remote, and a QR code will appear so you can open the post on your iPhone or iPad, and interact with it.

You're probably asking yourself, "Who would want Bluesky on their TV?". I started the project as a joke, but ended up really liking it. The main mode in the app is called "Oscillate", where you slowly sway through posts (like a skyscraper does in the wind).

Skyscraper is the only Bluesky app now available on iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro, and now Apple TV. And unlike Michael Jordan, I didn't retired before getting all 6 rings. Wherever you use an Apple device, you can use Skyscraper as your preferred Bluesky client.

If you use BlueSky on an iPad and are driven mad by the tiny videos, this works very well.
