I got the notifications backend working again!!

Forked Christian’s apollo-backend and got it working again with the help of Claude. Unfortunately requires paid Apple dev certs, but it’s so freaking cool to see Apollo push notifications again. Threw up a PR to JeffreyCA’s repo for the necessary app changes: https://github.com/JeffreyCA/Apollo-ImprovedCustomApi/pull/229

Apollo CustomAPI 2.9.0 Released!

Release Notes:

🎉 Inline Media Previews (aka inline images) is finally here and enabled by default! This enables Apollo to render images, GIFs, and video thumbnails inline within posts and comments. (#125)

  • Configure in Settings > Custom API > Media > Inline Media Previews (on by default)

Other Issues Fixed

  • Fix Apollo bug where viewing MP4-style GIFs / GIFVs on subsequent loops would randomly freeze

  • Fix rare crash issue caused by comment collapse hooks

  • Fix image uploads to upload at full-res (#160)

  • Liquid Glass: fix tab bar icon and label tinting so it adapts to light/dark mode and to bright/dark content behind the glass material (thanks @icpryde!) (#103)

Release notes 2.8.0:

trove - a not-for-profit reddit alternative driven by aesthetics and ethics (please break it!)

Please break, critique, "dunk on," meme, and improve my reddit alternative called trove.

The domain is currently: trove.saw.dog

Backstory:

Last year, I posted on here about Trove, a minimalist alternative to Reddit I was experimenting with. Lots of people liked the design and motivation for the project.

At the time, it was just a mockup, but now it's a website!

The goal is basically to steward a website that feels like "old reddit".

My top priorities:

- fostering slow, thoughtful, creative, and engaging discussions (writing a constitution?)

- respecting user privacy and attention (no ads, AI content, infinite scrolling)

- ensuring users retain ownership of what they post (users can easily delete their accounts and download their data)

- keeping things simple and solid (a mobile site that works, no crazy slow javascript magic)

I don't expect people to use this platform. But I do hope to slowly and surely make something that's a really good home, and maybe one day people will move in.

Extra notes:

I don't have a constitution, about page or privacy policy set up yet. Hoping to flesh these out as user feedback comes in.

The moderation tools are ... well ... nonexistent. This is because I'm not sure who will be moderating what and how Community (subreddit) ownership will work.

I hope Trove can be like Reddit if it were made by the Wikimedia Foundation, i.e. a centralized platform with a strong ethical and stylistic stance.

What’s the new globe icon for? updated to 1.7.1 I’m guessing it’s from the translation feature. It doesn’t do anything when I click on it.

Is it now impossible to use sideloaded Apollo for the first time post-November 2025?

I have been looking for ways to obtain Reddit's API and have discovered they cannot be simply requested like before anymore. I am trying to find any instructions that would help me secure one so I can log into Apollo. As of now, all I can do is sideload the app and stare at the {}
