@flashes.blue• Notification settings now save reliably.
• A muted account no longer shows up when someone else quotes them.
• Fixed a freeze when a video started playing.
Update on the App Store:
apps.apple.com/app/flashes-...
@flashes.blueFixed: • A photo that can't be read no longer fails quietly. Flashes tells you which one, and your post stays intact. • Search no longer hangs. It stops after 15 seconds and tells you what went wrong. • Search results come back faster.
@flashes.blueAlso new: • Haptic feedback is now off by default. Miss the tap when a post goes out? Turn it back on in Composer Settings. • Handles now show in full. Prefer them shortened? Settings → Accessibility & Display → Font Size & Display → Shorten handles.
@flashes.blueYou stay in charge: tap ALT on any photo to read, edit, rewrite or regenerate the description before you post. Rather do it yourself? Switch it off in Composer Settings. It needs iOS 27 and an iPhone with Apple Intelligence turned on.
@flashes.blueFlashes 1.11.0 is out 📸 The big one: Flashes can now describe your photos for you. Add a picture to a post and a description is written automatically, in the language you're posting in. All of it happens on your iPhone. Your photos are never sent anywhere to do it. 🧵
@flashes.blue@flashes.blue*Ding ding* Push Notifications are here. You can choose who each category covers - everyone, people you follow, or nobody - and there's a switch for seeing wider Bluesky activity if you want the full picture. Uploads are also completely rewritten.
@flashes.blueI know this is asking a lot but if you have an account in the godforsaken place that they call LinkedIn we'd be super stoked if you could give our new site there a follow. We need to build up a presence across the incumbent networks to draw in more people. Thank you so much!!!
@flashes.blueNext Android alpha release has been submitted to Google and is awaiting review 🤞
@flashes.blueFlashes is now on the web: https://app.flashes.blue
Browse feeds, post photos and video, watch stories, check DMs — in any browser, with the Bluesky/Eurosky/Atmosphere account you already have.
This is version one. More is coming, and the Feedback link in the sidebar decides what.
@flashes.blueWe surpassed the 80k download mark on wednesday. 🚀 What a first week! 😂 To celebrate I’ll throw out a new update in the coming days that will give you more customization options for your profile.
@flashes.blueThis blog post perfectly captures what @flashes.blue is all about! Awesome writing!
