  • Blorp dev here. I’m not sure I understand hashtags well enough to implement them yet. From what I can tell, @[email protected] either manually linked the hashtag to Mastadon, or more likely, whatever client they used inserted the link when they types the hashtag.

    To demonstrate my point:

    1. Here is a hashtag I manually linked #alt4me
    2. Here is a hashtag I did not manually link #alt4me

    In Blorp, 1 is clickable for me, but 2 isn’t. Depending on what client you’re using, 2 may get auto linked.




  • Blorp dev here. Blorp actually is too 😅

    I wanted to build a universal web and native app. I started out using react native on iOS/Android and react on web. I realized that I was spending most if my time trying to get native to work as well as web. For example, the markdown renderers/editors on web are far superior to native imo. Making native a web app solves a lot of problems, but obviously it creates new issues like this post mentions.

    The biggest issue with being a web app is I will likely never be able to get Liquid Glass working on iOS. I’m guessing same for voyager. But Liquid Glass kinda sucks, so we’ll call it a feature instead of a bug. I think these web apps can work around most other issues, including the one this post mentions.
