Today I implemented posting threads for both #mastodon and #bluesky on BlogCat:
https://blogcat.org
I still need to do some bugfixing and documentation before I release this, but I think it is a good feature.

I been enjoying #soapmaking for a couple years now. I love listening to audiobooks while letting myself go a bit automatic making cute soaps and massage bars. Here are some of favourites I made.
(Also attempting to images with alt text from #BlogCat for the first time, let's hope it works)

Implemented linkgraphs in BlogCat, totally stole the feature from Artemis. It looks super cool.
The screenshots linked here are from Artemis and from BlogCat showing the same feature.

My first film roll with my new #OlympusPen EES-2 camera. Used #Lomography Lomochrome Metropolis film stock, it does a bit of colour shifting that gives gritty vibes. Liked these photos but don't think I'll go for that stock again, prefer vibrant and pastels.

Really happy with the built-in #podcast viewer I built for my #feedreader, BlogCat. Today I added season and episode navigation similar to TV apps and a toggle to autoplay the next episode.

Here are some photos I took with my #Pentax Auto 110 which uses 110 film cartridges.
For these photos I used a turquoise tinted film by #lomography I haven’t edited this photos at all, this is how they come out from the camera. I’m loving the results.

changed my tags to emojis. Now I can fit a lot more tags in the screen without them drawing too much attention away from the blog posts.

Today I implemented a very nifty feature. A way to match subscriptions between BlogCat and other apps
Given an OPML from your other app. BlogCat will allow you to subscribe to the missing sites. It also generate an OPML for the other app to match its own subscription list.
