Some Good Features but one glaringly obvious bug

Probably the best designed app for Bluesky on Mastodon and there’s some nice features but one big bug that I’ve noticed is if you close the app and refresh it you lose your place in the timeline feed and it takes you all the way to the top (which means you need to scroll down again to read everything you’ve missed). I think this could be fixed by supporting icloud sync like apps on Mastodon do. However this could be a limitation of the current Bluesky API.

Version 1.20.0: should be easy to update login details, but it isn’t

I changed my login name on Bluesky, and now this app says “Loading feed failed” - but won’t show me how to update my login details. It was fun while it lasted.
