The latest Heron release lets you save your searches as @graze.social feeds! Pin them to your home screen, share with your friends, fandoms or whoever! Remember! Feeds are public on Bluesky. When permissioned spaces roll out, expect private saved searches :)
Still not quite the same, but the Heron app (@heron.tunji.dev) does a pretty good imitation.
I've been working on heron for a bit, so decided to do a lil branding and marketing refresh on the Play Store. Here are a few Heron highlights 😊
Heron 3.0.9 is out with performance improvements, and an even more immersive gallery 😊

A quick mid-week update to Heron lands some major performance improvements. Scrolling the timeline should now be smoother than ever. Like buttery smooth. Also, if you do a media only search and go to the gallery, the gallery now lets you vertically scroll your search results where you left off.
The latest Heron release includes the new Bluesky setting to mute a profile's reposts and a quote post unrolling feature. You can also get a summary of an unrolled quote thread if you want.
Are you thinking of picking up a Galaxy Z Fold 8? Heron looks and works great on foldable devices 😊
This week's Heron release allows giving feedback to for feed generator about the posts it serves, as well as initial support for post drafts. It also improves scrollingand general UI performance in the app!
The latest Heron release now has advanced search. You can now choose to limit your search result to those with media,or just videos. If you do, you can also change the layout of the search results ☺️

The latest Heron release allows for downloading inference models that run completely locally on your device and work without an Internet connection. These models can be used to translate posts for world cup szn, and even vibe check a profile. I'm experimenting with more use cases for the future!
even got an announcement post with demo https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:6q4y7p2wft3tncsffspts3m5/post/3mpm4s3elt2vf
TJ@tunji.dev · 4mo agoThis week's Heron release is a small quality of life one. The Black Heron theme has been updated to be OLED black. The previous color scheme is now under the Pied Heron theme.

The cool thing about standard.site content is Bluesky clients like @heron.tunji.dev already do exactly this. If Bluesky adds the same support, you'll see all your blog posts from platforms like the ones mentioned above in a tab on your profile.
Heron@heron.social · 5mo agoThe latest Heron release adds a dedicated standard.site button to profiles, allowing you view a user's long form writing and their publications. It also makes it easy to subscribe to the publications you care about.
Heron recently passed 1K downloads on the Google Play Store, and I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who use it. It really means a lot. If you enjoy using Heron, please consider leaving a review: play.google.com/store/apps/d...

The Agami Herons are back at Agami Island for nesting. They're a little later than they were last year because of the lower water levels, but over the next few weeks we should be seeing about 1,000 adults for the new season. #CostaRica #herons #birds
I'm mad I didn't hear about Heron sooner! It's an ATproto client for mobile that I'm really liking. It's "form over function" - slicker UI & animations, but lighter on features and *much* smaller than the Bsky app. heron.tunji.dev (And it started out on Android, always a plus in my book 👍🏽)
Heron@heron.social · 4mo agoThe latest Heron release supports viewing and uploading up to 10 photos. Also bc media uploads can sometimes fail, there's now a dedicated tasks settings item so you can see and retry all actions you've queued up so you always know what the app is up to ☺️

Today's Heron release expands standard site support significantly. A lot of the ideas in Alex's post below already existed in Heron, and now you can subscribe to standard site publications directly from the timeline! Check out the video to see Heron's integration 😊
alex benzer@alexbenzer.com · 5mo agowe’re rolling out the first phase of the Bluesky + standard.site integration today! now, when you share an article from writing platforms that support standard.site (like @leaflet.pub, @pckt.blog, @offprint.app), you’ll notice the link card has more to it than a typical link card.
The latest Heron update allows for quick switches between accounts and other miscellaneous improvements.
This week's (second 😭) Heron release fixes a memory leak that caused linear slow downs on each screen visited. To make up for it, Heron now has Rocksky support! Rocksky users now have their records on their profile 😊 🎶 🎵 🎸
