    Happy birthday Tildes! I'm thankful to Deimos and the handful of people keeping this place tidy, and the amazing contributors to the content and discussions.

    I've been treating Tildes as "work mode" the past several months, because of the app I'm working on, and therefore posting less than I'd normally like. This year I hope to dial back that work mode and participate more as a community member again.

    Thanks for the bug report. The tags were likely the problem. The app can do better checking for valid tags before trying to submit. Thanks @cfabbro for clarifying which characters are valid.

    That's a fun idea. I might have to think about small perks to offer donors. In case the mindblowing "thank you" animation isn't enough.

    There is no search functionality currently. As you said, you can filter groups, but cannot search for topics or comments. (The website does have search.)

    I might add theme options eventually since people like to have that option. Don't know when though.

    I believe swipe works to go back on iPhone. If you swipe from the far left edge of the screen.

    Some screens in the app don't support that though. Like when a dialog pops up from the bottom. Is there any particular screen you have in mind where you would hope swiping to be added?

    The official blog post has some reasons: They also had to lay off about 7 employees as part of this, so it couldn't have been an easy decision.

    The official blog post has some reasons:

    But, this rapid growth came at some costs. We let sustainable infrastructure for moderation slip to the back-burner since we could just hire extra moderators to compensate, and more and more of my time as the founder was taken up by things that didn’t make Modrinth better. Bugs and technical debt also gradually infected our codebase as we focused on hyper-growth over maintenance.

    In short, forgoing the venture route would allow us to build Modrinth independently at a sustainable pace and put our creators, community, open-source nature, and values first, without having to worry about expectations of profit or growth. 

    They also had to lay off about 7 employees as part of this, so it couldn't have been an easy decision.

    This is Android feedback right? Android devices usually have a hardware Back button at the bottom, so I kept the in-app back button in the familiar top position.

    Some Android phones let you turn on a swipe-to-go-back gesture in system settings. Here are instructions.

    Thanks for asking. There is no donation option on iOS yet; I plan to add it in the 1.0 release.

    Reiterating my thoughts from last week: Thank you to everyone for your emotional support, and bug reports and feature requests. Version 1.0 is a big milestone for the app. Finally adding the ability to submit topics!

    iOS version 1.0 is a work in progress.

    To the people who've already donated using the new donation feature: Thank you very much for your generosity! It means a lot that people are sticking with the app and putting in a few bucks to say thanks.
    The aggregate amount of money is really very small, in case anyone was wondering. But on an individual level I know how big of a deal it is to pull the trigger on giving your money away. I really do appreciate it a lot. Thank you again!

    Hope everyone has fun and takes plenty of screenshots and videos at the egg hunt. I'll be missing it unfortunately. I was looking forward to the opening ceremony at least. Thank you for your efforts setting it up Gravy!
