Good, but looking fwd to 2.0

Makes the BlueSky experience pleasant and easy. However, would benefit from several tweaks.

- iOS notifications are needed
- Grouping the in-app notifications (like the mainline Bsky app) would be helpful and reduce clutter
- Themable elements like color, font size and spacing would help accessibility
- The floating “My Feeds” button needs to move down to the nav bar at the bottom with the other views
- The tiny touches of color that show likes, reposts, etc. are perfect! Use color this way throughout the interface.
- Tapping the Skyline button once takes you there. Twice should refresh the feed and take you to the top (again like the mainline app)
- Being able to hide the post window while composing (similar to a draft in the iOS Mail app) would be welcome

Looking forward to watching this app grow!

Bluesky that actually feels like an iOS app <3

Finally! The main bluesky app is a UI mess, weird back button placements, strange decisions and a high contrast hard to read mess, and feels like a janky website not a native experience. I was ready to give up on the platform until I found graysky! Feels right as home on iOS, with real tab bars and normal iOS navigation (like what is the half high profile view of the main app, that swiping down doesn’t dismiss? A normal swipe back here folks!). Thank you dev for your hard work!

Crashes

It was working nicely for a while but today suddenly it crashes on launch, can’t start at all.
Edit: It is fixed by deleting and re-install the app.
