In the mean time, you can send us a DM. Thank you

We've been quiet because we're actively working on the mobile version (iOS & Android) of Dragonfly.

Also thinking about adding analytics 👀✨

I checked latest app store version and I don't have any image issue. Could it be a network or firewall issue in your side?

Dragonfly @dfly.app · May 31

This is really weird
I’m gonna check asap to see if I have the same issue
Thank you

Dragonfly @dfly.app · May 29

The emoji picker in @dfly.app 's chat might be the most fun UI widget I’ve designed so far!! 😌💙

#designsky #buildinpublic

Hi ! Thank you for your feedback :)

That’s right, you can browse your lists in Dragonfly but editing them is not available currently. To add or remove people from your lists, you’ll need to hop over to Bluesky for now!

Dragonfly @dfly.app · May 24

Correct, this is weird, we'll check and fix that. Thank you!

Dragonfly @dfly.app · May 24

Hi yes we plan to sync bookmark and to have a iPhone/Android version. Right now we are finalizing the chat. Then we'll work on that.
