We make Indigo and Croissant, apps for better social experiences. Aaron Vegh & Ben Rice McCarthy
While I was travelling last week, @vegh.ca has been cooking up some very exciting stuff 👀 As I said before, we have a few bigger features and improvements that I think will work best if we launch them together, which means a bit more of a wait, but I think it'll be worth it
Just a heads up: we're moving our Feedback board to Nolt. The old system was just breaking constantly despite our best efforts. It seems like everything has been migrated correctly, let us know if you have any issues.

Not the most exciting release but Indigo 1.2.4 is out now! It's just a few fixes for things like: - how the focused cell is determined while scrolling - updating direct message conversations - quote interactions view layout
Indigo 1.2.3 is hitting the App Store now! With: - redesigned in app (toast) notifications - improvements to the scroll position control - improvements to code blocks Fixes for: - space bar scrolling - loading posts on launch if Indigo hasn't been used recently And we removed the review prompt
Indigo 1.2.2 is out now! In the build we've got: - a whole bunch of menu bar / key commands for iPad and Mac - an inline video progress bar - the ability to detach unwanted Bluesky quotes - a nice little reminder to leave a review (hint hint) - like a hundred minor improvements
Unfortunately @vegh.ca's laptop took an unplanned shower yesterday 🤦🏻 So now would be an especially great time to subscribe if you were considering it 🥲 (and apologies if the next update is a little behind schedule) apps.apple.com/app/apple-stor...
Bad news. Wake up CAT this morning and the ports are not responding. After some thinking, I've decided to spring for the logic board replacement and new battery for $2k, but looks like I'll be having a no-work day. 🙃
I want to separate the Autoplay Media preference to: - Autoplay Video - Autoplay GIFs Whether GIFs are set to autoplay or not, they will loop until you tap them to stop. Is there anyone who thinks looping should be its own pref? (Autoplaying a GIF once that does not loop seems awkward)
it's not perfect but playing around with Indigo, an iOS/Mac app that provides a unified timeline between Mastodon and Bluesky (and goes so far as to link cross-platform posts and add ways to interact across networks if you like) feels like a glimpse at a better future
Oh sweet, Indigo has Bluesky lists now (it uhhh has for a few weeks but I hadn't looked at the sidebar I guess). That was basically the only thing that I ever opened the official Bluesky app for, and now I don't have to. It's really nice:

A very kind review of Indigo in Appgefahren! BRING ME THE GERMANS (as every indie dev knows, Germans are the best customers: picky af, and big on quality)
Indigo: Neue vielversprechende Fediverse-App vereint Bluesky- und Mastodon-Konten
Seit Mitte Mai gibt es eine neue App für dezentrale soziale Netzwerke: Indigo verbindet Mastodon und Bluesky in einer einzigen Timeline.

This has been an impressive improvement in the experience of using Indigo. 👏
We've got even more exciting news though! Over the weekend we released Indigo 1.2 and just this morning, 1.2.1 (the app review gods have been kind) There are a bunch of improvements but two big ones: - Timeline scroll performance is way, way, way better - Post Replies have smarter threading
Hey! A little bit of news: Soapbox Software is no more, we're now Aniline Applications There was a pre-existing Soapbox company that we weren't originally aware of who understandably asked us to change it. But now we have a cool new ambigram logo so it's not all bad 😄
Okay we've just pulled the trigger on Indigo 1.2 We'll do a proper announcement on Monday but we thought you deserved a little weekend treat of buttery smooth scrolling in the timeline 😎
One of my favourite features of Indigo is the whimsy that @benricem.bsky.social added to the placeholders in the composer. I'd love to find more places to shine like that in the app!
We've got a bunch of small improvements for the next update but there's one I'm really excited about 😋
Indigo 1.1.2 is out now! You may have noticed some issues with scroll position sync since the last update and for that, we do sincerely apologies. The good news is, not only should that be fixed now, but we've given you even more control over scroll position with this handy little menu
Happy first month of Indigo everybody 🥳 Thanks for sticking with us so far, we're just getting started
Indigo 1.1.1 is out now! You're probably thinking whoa it's barely been a day since 1.1 and you'd be right. But we had a few bug fixes we wanted to get out, a new language preference for translation, and a couple of app icons for Pride
Hey monthly Ultraviolet subscribers! If you're enjoying Indigo and you like all the updates we've put out so far, now would be a great time to consider moving to an annual sub before it renews Save yourself some money!
Indigo 1.1 is out now! It’s got a whole new theming system, letting you choose the colour scheme, background brightness, and text contrast Especially cool is a new colourblind friendly palette and a monochrome theme that makes your timeline feel like a newspaper
A few people have requested that the Crosspost banner be less prominent. I want to make sure it's easily tappable to make sure you can see both posts without issue. Thoughts?
