    Hey folks! I've shared PIVOT here and early versions of Wallflower, my (very opinionated) social reader app. I've received lots of feedback of the constructive variety, so thought I would update everyone with the current state of the project.

    On the horizon: Android version, better parity between the web app and iOS/iPadOS

    Oh no! That is a much less than desirable situation. Can you try force-reloading the page and see if the issue persists? I'll see what I can see on this end. Edit: Said "force restarting the app"...

    Edit: Said "force restarting the app" when I meant cache busting the page.

    This is a weird one -- is it possible it is appending a www. on to the domain? If so, I fixed that issue now.

    Thanks again, can you try refreshing (sorry for turning you into a bug checker here) and see if it's gone? I'm fiddling on the Cloudflare load managing dashboard itself now. I had already turned off all Web Analytics, but now I've deleted the site from the analytics dashboard entirely.

    Not a gotcha at all, a real contradiction. Thanks for drawing my attention to it. There was unquestionably a Cloudflare Beacon that I copied over from other projects (FRTracker and TOSTracker) and never reexamined. That beacon is now removed.

    Further, I was not sufficiently clear in the privacy policy and have now updated it. "No analytics" is an overstatement, even with the Cloudflare Beacon removed. I have first party telemetry that gives me a daily count of active readers and anonymous error/stall/load-ok information. That is, functionally, event-tracking. It may not show up on uBlock, but it's there.

    I reckon this is a sufficient misstatement to warrant a full disclosure, so I made one on the privacy policy with the update: https://thewallflower.app/privacy

    I'll definitely look into an Android app -- and I'll sort out some way to get an alert out to folks about the iOS beta. I'd rather not collect folks' email addresses, but if I put up a small banner on the web app and it seems like people aren't getting word, I'll revisit that.

    Thanks for the heads up on the filtered image leak -- that is most definitely a bug and it should now be resolved. I moved the entire post inside the filtered veil now, let me know if you have further issues there (yikes!).

    You should now be able to close the column. Previously, when you cleared it the column snapped back to your first list on reload -- now one you touch the picker, your choice should stick.

    Thank you again for the kind words and incredibly valuable feedback, keep it coming on both fronts if you don't mind!
