Max Melzer🎂 It's app birthday time! Because <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Flyleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flyleaf</a> today is exactly one year old, I wrote a blog post sharing my joys and annoyances with it, as well as some numbers and some advice: <a href="https://mastodon.social/@flyleafapp/114233394703842551" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mastodon.social/@flyleafapp/114233394703842551</a>

Flyleaf – Read Later AppThe blog post also includes some additional info about the two previous updates, as well as an explanation about the quick data migration that will pop up when launching <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Flyleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flyleaf</a> on macOS for the first time after the update: <a href="https://moehrenzahn.de/flyleaf-2-2/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://moehrenzahn.de/flyleaf-2-2/</a>

Flyleaf – Read Later App<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Flyleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flyleaf</a> is a “read-later” app that displays saved articles from the web in a meticulously designed reading view, without popups, ads or other distractions.The distinguishing feature of Flyleaf is its unparalleled book-style pagination. You can read articles page by page instead of scrolling vertically.Get it on the App Store: <a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/flyleaf-read-later/id6475200381" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://apps.apple.com/app/flyleaf-read-later/id6475200381</a>

Max MelzerI am relieved (and honestly a little surprised) to report that my development build of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Flyleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flyleaf</a> now compiles with Swift 6, concurrency and all. In hindsight, it was a great idea to put this off until now, since the error messages and suggested fixes in the latest Xcode 16 betas have become *much* more helpful as compared to Xcode 15.

Max MelzerOMG here I am reading a nice little blog post by <a href="https://mastodon.online/@marekfort" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@marekfort</a> about „Calm apps“ in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Flyleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flyleaf</a> only to find my own app mentioned there, in one list with apps like NetNewsWire and Ivory. Feels pretty good! <a href="https://marekfort.me/blog/calm-apps/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://marekfort.me/blog/calm-apps/</a>

Max Melzer✨The 1.1 update of my read-later app <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Flyleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flyleaf</a> is now live on the iOS and macOS <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppStore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AppStore</a>. It includes some nice quality-of-life improvements, so make sure to grab it!<a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/flyleaf-read-later/id6475200381" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://apps.apple.com/app/flyleaf-read-later/id6475200381</a>New stuff: + Add PDFs to parse the contents and show them in the Flyleaf reading view + An "unread article count" badge – if you are into that sort of thing + Drag-and-drop support + A new red theme + Bug fixes and performance improvements (of course!)

Max MelzerIf you're looking for a first post to add to your <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Flyleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flyleaf</a> reading list, you can use my newest blog post, „Why I built my own read-later app“ <a href="https://moehrenzahn.de/about-flyleaf/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://moehrenzahn.de/about-flyleaf/</a>

Max MelzerI also want to mention the hundreds (!) of beta testers that helped me make <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Flyleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flyleaf</a> what it is with their invaluable feedback. Thank you!

Max MelzerThis is the culmination of many months of working late into the evening to get this thing finished. I'm very excited to see if this is something that resonates with people. Please give me your retoots so others have a chance to learn about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Flyleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flyleaf</a>.

Max Melzer‼️Today is the big day: <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Flyleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flyleaf</a> is available now on the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppStore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AppStore</a>. Get it while it's hot!<a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/flyleaf-read-later/id6475200381" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://apps.apple.com/app/flyleaf-read-later/id6475200381</a>Flyleaf is a “read-later” app that displays saved articles from the web in a meticulously designed reading view, without popups, ads or other distractions.The distinguishing feature of Flyleaf is its unparalleled book-style pagination. You can read articles page by page instead of scrolling vertically.

Max MelzerI’ve been messing around with the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Flyleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flyleaf</a> article list UI since the latest beta. The macOS app now has an optionally translucent sidebar, which can look very cool depending on your wallpaper. On iOS, I switched to a floating bottom toolbar which hopefully makes the app more visually distinct.

Max MelzerAlright, this <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Flyleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flyleaf</a> beta build may very well be the last one before the official 1.0 App Store release, if everything goes well.

Max MelzerI hate to toot my own horn, but I know of no other app where you can read web articles like this on an iPad, and I love it! <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Flyleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flyleaf</a>

Max MelzerEven though I love all my children equally, I must admit that the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macOS</a> version of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Flyleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flyleaf</a> is my favorite. I just have a soft spot for the Mac. Always have. (Incidentally, the Mac is also the place where the „Read later“ app competition is weakest, in my opinion.)

Max MelzerI’m looking forward to the feedback to this version from the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TestFlight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TestFlight</a>. I think I'm getting very close to a 1.0 release with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Flyleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flyleaf</a>.Adding tags derailed the project a little, but I thought it was necessary to have one big feature that is subscription-only. Also, I did not want to release in the middle of all that <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VisionPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VisionPro</a> release hype.

Max MelzerGood news, everyone! I've got a new <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Flyleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flyleaf</a> beta build out. It's been a while, but this is a big one. I tweaked the design, fixed a lot of bugs, and Flyleaf now has support for tagging articles.Flyleaf is my new app for saving web articles and reading them later in an awesome, distraction-free, book-like reading view.You can learn more and sign up for the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TestFlight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TestFlight</a> beta on my website: <a href="https://moehrenzahn.de/project/flyleaf/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://moehrenzahn.de/project/flyleaf/</a>
