Graysky, a Bluesky client

Graysky looks and feels great. It's certainly more polished than the official app. However, it would be better if we could define a default feed instead of the main view being the feed selection one.

It doesn't offer anything that the official client, with the only real difference being a rearranged UI. What's the point?

Well, it's been fun. Been using this since the beta and really enjoy it. Today I was informed by the dev that it doesn't support mute words. So this will be the last time I interact through it until that changes. This has been my favorite way to access BSKY until now. It's sad, tbh. Hope that changes but no more promo from me ever again unless it does. (Was doing this of own free will and can't in good faith do so now) Edit: I have learned since posting this that the developer is now part of the BSKY team and I assume this will never get to full parity as a result. Downgrading to 1⭐️ due to lack of transparency on the dev's part. :|

“Trending topics” “suggested follows” I hate this junk. Let me have a blank search tab stop trying to dictate the content I encounter

I liked this app a lot, but in the last two days i haven’t been able to even open it. I restarted my phone (iphone 11) and it still won’t work. Hope it gets fixed soon because i like it a lot.

It was working nicely for a while but today suddenly it crashes on launch, can’t start at all. Edit: It is fixed by deleting and re-install the app.

graysky offers some customizations and settings the bsky app doesn’t, but imo the main benefit is how much faster and lighter it runs. the one big downside for me is the readability. the ss font is kind of hard to read and there’s too much space between lines. in general higher contrast lines on the edges of elements would be helpful too. but a great app nonetheless

Finally! The main bluesky app is a UI mess, weird back button placements, strange decisions and a high contrast hard to read mess, and feels like a janky website not a native experience. I was ready to give up on the platform until I found graysky! Feels right as home on iOS, with real tab bars and normal iOS navigation (like what is the half high profile view of the main app, that swiping down doesn’t dismiss? A normal swipe back here folks!). Thank you dev for your hard work!

Makes the BlueSky experience pleasant and easy. However, would benefit from several tweaks. - iOS notifications are needed - Grouping the in-app notifications (like the mainline Bsky app) would be helpful and reduce clutter - Themable elements like color, font size and spacing would help accessibility - The floating “My Feeds” button needs to move down to the nav bar at the bottom with the other views - The tiny touches of color that show likes, reposts, etc. are perfect! Use color this way throughout the interface. - Tapping the Skyline button once takes you there. Twice should refresh the feed and take you to the top (again like the mainline app) - Being able to hide the post window while composing (similar to a draft in the iOS Mail app) would be welcome Looking forward to watching this app grow!

Only been playing around with it for a couple days, but not bad. I wish when you refresh your feed it didn’t go all the way up to the newest post.
