There was a nasty bug which was preventing OPML file imports from working.

I have just fixed this issue and your OPML imports in Elytra should work now.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me with debugging this problem in any way.
New Elytra build is up on TestFlight which brings a new interface for adding new Feeds or search for existing ones based on title and keyword matching.

Setting a realistic goal for myself here for Elytra v.1.4. 2nd September sounds good enough for when Apple will start accepting builds using the GM?

Uploaded another beta build last night to ASC hoping it would process without arbitrary errors.

The build has completely vanished from the Testflight page or the Activity page. I’m at a loss as to what I should be doing. 🤷🏽‍♂️
Phew! Finally managed to get a build up. Waiting for Review. No error or warning emails yet.
Elytra v1.4 Beta is now available on Test Flight. Go get it if you’re running iOS 13. If you’re not, you can skip the v1.4 builds.

HMU if you run into any thing weird.
Please give the new Dark Reader theme a shot and let me know what you think.

Is the Gamma and White Point good for reading in darker rooms or low light situations?
This month’s final build v1.4 (247) is up on Test Flight.

October 2019 Update blog.elytra.app/2019/10/16/oct…
Included a small sneak peek into Elytra for Web. Check the blog post for more details. 😉 Elytra for Web - Dark Theme - Interface Design Preview
The design and the actual app are very much a work in progress.

Just like the iOS app, the web app will continue to focus on your privacy and wont just dump everything into a container.
That, “something is about to go down”, feeling as I’m about to send out the first RC of v1.5.0 of Elytra to Beta Testers & the Press.

In-App Purchases Bug > blog.elytra.app/2019/11/16/in-…
Two critical updates were released yesterday and on the day before it for iOS 12 users. These will be the last Elytra builds to support iOS 12. v1.6 will be dropping iOS 12 support completely. #Elytra
Not a bad start. This is gonna take a while though. 😅
Triple Column Layout will be coming in v1.6. This is the first prototype. Lots of finishing touches to be done, but I like what I have on day 1 of this experiment. What are you thoughts? #iOS #Design

Y’all be ready for that last one. It’s pure 🔥 in terms of what the OS can do for you as long as you give it the right inputs.
If you’re not on the Elytra Testflight list, send me DM. Limited slots.
Coming later in the Summer in Elytra v1.7: Customize the Article Reader to your preference.

Still backed by solid native rendering, and inherited & applied accessibility.

Any other options you’d like to see here?
Submitting an update shortly under v1.6.1 which should bring first class support for Youtube Channel Feeds.

Paired along with the improved Youtube player implementation, this is going to quickly become my personal way of consuming videos from creators.
Elytra v1.6.1 is now waiting for review. Time to write the accompanying blog post to explain a few things.

If you’re interested in joining, send me DM.
Updated Pricing - blog.elytra.app/2020/03/25/upd…

Last bit of tweaking for custom pointer interactions in Elytra are done. Going into beta shortly.

Warping to custom views, labels, isn’t difficult. So definitey give it a shot!
RPC First Class Support blog.elytra.app/2020/03/29/rpc…
Now working on the second-last item on my list for v1.7 of Elytra: The Today tab. All articles from today, read and unread, in one place.
TestFlight Beta build #330 should be going out within the hour.
Coming soon to a Testflight build near you.

And with that, ladies and gentlemen, I conclude development work on Elytra v1.7.
“Waiting for Review”… v1.7
That’s enough for Xcode, AppStoreConnect and Sketch for one day.

I think I’m just going to ssh into one of our servers and look at the htop graph move for a bit.
A quick update on Elytra’s pricing blog.elytra.app/2020/03/25/upd…
