The macOS text replacement thing — which lets me type something like “long-s” to get the actual long-s “ſ“ character — only seems to work on Apple's own apps.

Does not work in Office 365, Adobe apps, and the desktop Ivory app.

But it DOES work on iOS, everywhere, and this has always been the case; it's not Yet Another Tahoe Bug (there's SO MANY BUGS).

Which makes adding things like ¯_(ツ)/¯ (I type “shruggy”) and ಠಠ (“redditeyes”) on the Mac a mild pain in the butt.

Also, Ivory randomly drops characters like underscores, asterisks, and \ for whatever reasons. I typed this in the first pic and the second pic is what is displayed in both versions of the app. @ivory

Hey, these characters are preserved in the alt text! WTF…

Given that #Tapbots #Ivory doesn't support filtering based on toot languages, had to be creative and added two regular expressions:

* [üß] to filter German
* "ä\b" to filter Finnish

Yes, there will be false positives, but for my case it's reasonable.

I might actually use BlueSky when Phoenix by @tapbots launches.

The official app and site are just a pain in the ass to use.

TechCrunch: Tapbots teases a new Bluesky app, Phoenix, saying it can’t ‘survive on Mastodon alone’. “There’s a new Bluesky app in the works from a popular developer of iOS applications. Tapbots, the company behind the popular Mastodon client Ivory, born out of its earlier efforts with Tweetbot (RIP), is readying a new app called Phoenix, designed for Bluesky’s growing social network […]

I've read so much about the death of Fediverse and Mastodon because it isn't "commercially viable".

Creators of Ice Cubes and Ivory are switching to Bluesky for the financial reasons.

What are your thoughts on this topic? If it was for me, an Android user who never got access to these (great) apps, the Fediverse wasn't even alive 🤣

"Ivory" for Bluesky?!

Don't mind if I do!

Phoenix Rising: #Tapbots Reveals New #Bluesky Client for Summer Release
https://www.macstories.net/news/phoenix-rising-tapbots-reveals-new-bluesky-client-for-summer-release/ #ivory

Ah, gaaf. #Tapbots, de makers van wijlen #Tweetbot (Twitter) en #Ivory (Mastodon) gaan eindelijk een app voor BlueSky maken, #Phoenix. Fijne apps die van Tapbots. https://tapbots.com/phoenix/

Tweetbot-maker ontwikkelt nieuwe client voor #Bluesky

We redden het helaas niet met #Mastodon alleen", schrijft #Tapbots. Bluesky had tegen eind januari meer dan dertig miljoen gebruikers. Ter vergelijking heeft Mastodon 906.000 maandelijkse actieve gebruikers, volgens statistiekensite #FediDB.

https://tweakers.net/nieuws/232594/tweetbot-maker-ontwikkelt-nieuwe-client-voor-bluesky.html

Tapbots, the developer behind the now-defunct #Tweetbot (because #Twitter prohibited third-party apps from its #API), is to release a client for #Bluesky. The client, called #Phoenix, should become available for #Android and #iOS this summer. #Tapbots is simultaneously working on #Ivory, a #Mastodon client.

Tapbots tworzy aplikację Phoenix dla Bluesky

Twórcy dawnego Tweetbota pracują nad nową aplikacją Phoenix dla sieci społecznościowej Bluesky.

Będzie ona rozwijana równolegle z Ivory, aplikacją Tapbots dla Mastodona.

Bluesky zyskał taką popularność, że firma nie może polegać wyłącznie na Ivory. Obie aplikacje pozostaną oddzielne, ale będą miały wspólne funkcje. Planowane jest także dodanie opcji publikowania na obu platformach jednocześnie.

Premiera Phoenix zaplanowana jest na lato, a wkrótce ruszy publiczna wersja alfa. Więcej informacji można znaleźć na stronie Tapbots.
