deck.blue v2.0.0 is up!

no preview
DESCRIPTION

After a few weeks of development, the latest deck.blue update is finally up. Thank you so much for your support and patience while I was developing this! I know the expectations are high.

Let's go over the main changes first:

To create an online backup of your settings, you must have a deck.blue "account" which is automatically created when you login for the first time. If you were previously logged in before this update, you'll need login again after the update in order to back up your data. Online backups include all of your app settings and columns, as well as multi-account data (if any). This ensures your settings are kept up to date between multiple devices.

Backup data is linked to the Bluesky App Password you set for deck.blue, so you'll need to keep your App Password to make sure you'll always log into the same account. If you forget the App Password used, you can use a new flow to re-link your account to a new App Password.

You're now able to link your Patreon account to your deck.blue account. It'll be saved and checked daily to see if you're still a Patreon and/or if you've changed tiers. Your Patreon tier will dictate how some features will work, such as the number of possible connected accounts, and in the future, whether you'll be able to use the limited or full scheduling + even more customizable themes (scheduling will be available later this month). If you donated on Ko-fi recently and want to be a Patron instead, please reach out to [email protected] with the subject "Ko-fi refund" and your name used on Ko-fi so I can refund you the money to use that in the Patreon subscription instead.

Now, for the feature list!

  • Multi-account is now available! You can add up to 2 accounts in the free tier, 5 in the initial tier, 10 in the supporter tier and infinite accounts in the sponsor tier. I tried to make this feature as similar as it was on old TweetDeck, so you'll be able to use it without relearning stuff.
  • Columns are now previewed before adding them!
  • Columns added will have a "main" account linked from the preview, which will dictate from which account you'll be liking posts;
  • You can also just use the "Like from account" option in posts to like from a specific account. The same is also available for reposting, which will show a dialog similar to old TweetDeck's too;
  • Accounts can have a "confirmation step" where you need to check the "Ready?" box before posting;
  • Saved feeds are loaded from all accounts. You may add any column with any feed for any account;
  • "Theme's base color" added to the settings! You can now customize deck.blue with a few default colors. More will be added in the future for Patrons, as well as more complex color themes.
  • The post composer has been redesigned, it now works just like old TweetDeck's! To the left, you'll be able to reply and quote any post, change the account you're posting from, and you'll be able to post properly from mobile devices!
  • Home/End keys now work for columns, going to the top or bottom of each selected column (when using End, it'll take a bit to load the next page);
  • Replies from the same author in a thread will appear first;
  • The Notification column now properly displays replies;
