Masturbation isn’t the problem. Tone is. From Ozzy’s joyless dick jokes, to Flyleaf’s weaponized shame, to Demi Lovato turning blasphemy into flirtation—three songs, one awkward cultural anxiety. When desire gets treated as either slapstick or sin, art shrinks. Thought is the missing ingredient.

We end the year with a final #Flyleaf update 2.5.1 for iOS and macOS. This updates adds the ability to open and read many kinds of footnotes in a popover instead of having to jump to the very end of an article and back again. This also works for code examples, where you can read the code in full width without line wrapping.
Grab it now from the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/flyleaf-read-later/id6475200381
Say "Hi" to #Flyleaf version 2.5. This one finally adds Widgets, and also includes a handy new way to download web pages that normally resist automatic downloads. Learn all about the new update here:

Phew, I’m finally done creating new sets of App Store screenshots and have just submitted #Flyleaf 2.4 with support for iOS and macOS 26 to App Review. 📲 See you on Monday (hopefully)!
I also just submitted the hopefully final #Flyleaf „GM“ build to #TestFlight. I'm gearing up to be there on monday with versions for both iOS and macOS.
Is the Liquid Glass stuff still rough? … yeah, a little. But I've got the weirdness mostly contained. I'm looking forward to Apple ironing the (many) remaining kinks out of the APIs and presentation over the coming months.
Experimenting with some fancier article titles in @flyleafapp ... and I think I like them #Flyleaf #iosDev #BuildInPublic
@stroughtonsmith #Flyleaf is my read-later app for iPhone, iPad and macOS focused on an excellent, clean reading experience. The next update will bring a nice UI refresh in line with the iOS 26 redesign.
You can get the Flyleaf beta for iOS 26 here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/yNFa8Fwn For those who are less adventurous, you can get the current stable version here: https://moehrenzahn.de/project/flyleaf/
One song begs Jesus for forgiveness after jerking off. The other moans His name. This is what happens when shame becomes a kink and orgasms become a sacrament. Flyleaf’s “The Kind” and Demi Lovato’s “Heaven” aren’t companions—but they sure do make one hell of a confessional.

Watch: BREAKING BENJAMIN's BENJAMIN BURNLEY And FLYLEAF's LACEY STURM Cover OZZY OSBOURNE's 'Mama, I'm Coming Home'

When your anti-masturbation anthem ends up stroking your ego more than anything else…
In “The Kind,” Lacey Sturm trades nuance for self-righteousness, giving us a sanctimonious sermon disguised as a rock song.

If you think #Flyleaf is neat, you should really write a review. It really is a lot of work to do these updates, and reviews really help to get the app more visibility on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/flyleaf-read-later/id6475200381?action=write-review
I’m once again very happy to announce that I managed to get another #Flyleaf update done. Now it's time for a brief vacation before digging into the iOS and macOS 26 SDK and … glassifying and liquifying all the things, I guess. https://mastodon.social/@flyleafapp/114819794515888050
🚀 #Flyleaf version 2.3.3 is now available on the #AppStore. Learn all about the new features in the blog post: https://moehrenzahn.de/flyleaf-2-3-3/

I just published a small bugfix update for #Flyleaf on the #iOS and #macOS #AppStore. Among other things, it slightly clarifies the import instructions for #Pocket. It also fixes a bug where Discover view customisations were sometimes not persisted across app restarts – which was definitely not the way it's supposed to work. Thanks to everyone who let me know about these issues!
