I’m not aware of any alternative CDNs for Bluesky right now. It is possible, but everyone seems to be using Bluesky’s own.
A member of their team has teased an upcoming announcement about image quality, so I’m hoping that issue will be improved soon.
That is on my todo list!
I seem to recall the docs discouraging doing that so as to reduce load on the PDSs. What would be the benefit of doing so?
Thanks Gary!
Check out the What’s New section on the App Store page for an exhaustive list of changes.
Note that the refresh keyboard shortcut has changed from ⌘R (now used for reply) to ⌥⌘R.
3/3
• Change the direction of spacebar scrolling in Settings
• Use the period key to go to the top of any feed and refresh
• Use the left arrow key to go back and the right to open the selected item
• Tab switch shortcuts now go to the first page / scroll to the top when the tab is already selected

Aeronaut 1.7 is now available!
Highlights:
• Share text and links from other apps and they’ll appear right in the post composer (support for sharing images to follow)
• 25+ new keyboard shortcuts! Cycle tabs, feeds, accounts, change text size, like posts, follow users, and lots more…

You can then email the log file to support@aeronautapp.com and I can hopefully work out why it’s not working for you. 2/2
Sorry for the inconvenience! Would you mind emailing some logs to me so that I can investigate what’s going on?
You’d need to try it again, and this time after the error appears hold down option/alt whilst pressing Help in the main menu. That should make an Export Diagnostics menu item appear. 1/2
So this was a bit of an oversight on my part. In the next release cmd+up will clear your existing selection, so when you hit j/k again it will reselect from the currently visible posts.
E.g. cmd+up followed by J will select the top post.
Does that solve the problem?
That’s a really interesting idea! Quite workable too. I’ll add it to my feature request list, though I’ve had a lot of them so I can’t promise that I’ll be able to implement this anytime soon.
Yeah I absolutely get the reasoning! The person that originally requested spacebar scrolling asked not to have Ivory’s behavior, so I guess it’s a matter of personal preference. Hopefully having it configurable satisfies everyone!
Looking at adding a bunch more shortcuts probably this week, so I’ll see what I can do!
Ah I went as far as to buy a silicone keyboard overlay with vim shortcuts on it, but just couldn’t unlearn my reliance on arrow keys!
By “second pressing should exit expanded posts” do you mean that it should take you back to the tab root like it does if you click the tab when it’s already selected? If so, then yes, that’s also on my list!

Copy link to post is on my list along with over a dozen other shortcuts. It may even make it into the next release!
Adding scroll to top behavior to the tab shortcuts is also on my list.

That was actually a feature request. I am a vim user, but I’ve never managed to retrain my muscle memory from using the arrow keys!
As for the soft scrolling suggestion, I’ll add it to my feature request list. Thanks for the feedback!

Most Mac apps that support spacebar scrolling (Safari, NetNewsWire) have it go down, so I’m pretty happy that’s the right default. But someone else raised this yesterday so I’ve already added an option in Settings to change the direction—will be available in the next release!

Known issue: ⌘J currently beeps—will be fixed in the next release.
Since I’m not much of a keyboard navigator, any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Aeronaut 1.6 is now available. This release adds support for selecting list items with the keyboard!
• ▲ or K to move selection up
• ▼ or J to move selection down
• ↵ to perform the default action
• ⌘J to go back to the selected item if you’ve scrolled it out of view
• ⌘+click to deselect
1/2
Lots more keyboard shortcuts on the way! In the meantime, you can separately use command+up-arrow to go to the top, and command+R to refresh.
With custom feeds, the Home tab indicates new posts are available, but you have manually reload (⌘R or pull to refresh) to see them.
Does that explain what you’re seeing?
Are you using a custom feed by any chance? Because of API limitations only the Following feed and list feeds currently support automatic feed reloading (new posts being inserted above the current scroll position). 1/2
A post with a link card in Aeronaut
A post with a link card in Twitter for Mac
Ah right, yeah there is a bit of a difference, mostly because Twitter for Mac has a significantly smaller maximum width.
I’ll add it to my feature request list—thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the suggestion! What kind of sizing options did you have in mind? Right now they file the available space (up to a limit so they don’t get too large)
Ah! I have an item on my todo list to expand the dropdown when posts don’t fill the window.
And yes, it looked like a JPEG from the file name so I am curious to see why it isn’t working.
Thanks—always happy to receive feedback!
Ah, number 1 occurred to me the other day actually so that’s already on my todo list!
For number 2, any notifications that come in whilst you don’t have the tab open get grouped. Once you open the tab the grouping resets. But yeah I can see how that results in lots of duplication. Will rethink it.
Still undecided on that, it depends how well I could balance building an iOS version whilst continuing to improve the Mac app. Will give it some more thought when I’ve gotten through some of the bigger feature requests on my todo list.
