dropanchor.app now also uses the infamous typeahead component for auto completing your bsky handle in the oauth screen. I've extracted it from kipclip.com and made it into a little js module so it was easier to re-use, feel free to use for your own atproto projects tangled.org/tijs.org/act...

  tijsvandenbrink.bsky.social, and tijs010010.bsky.social, each with their profile avatar.

I caved and got rid of the admittedly quite jarring pink background and redesigned the overall look to be more 'standard feed social'. Feels a bit more calm now at least if a bit less original 😉

In one of those 'you can just build it' moments @dropanchor.app now support @beaconbits.app checkins on your feed. All your beacons will be shown in your anchor feed (marked with the bb logo) and link back to the original checkin on beacon bits. Enjoy!

Build 25 adds the like count to the timeline and detail views in the app. A checkin you share can be liked by other logged in users on the checkins page on the web.

Build 24 is now out! This fixes the share url to use the new checkin detail page url format.

Build 22: Makes the settings screen options functional, but also introduces an option to choose your own location provider. Starting simple for now but eventually will likely do a bring your own api key setup. I believe the target audience for this is nerdy enough that I can get away with this 😛

The very first (Testflight) release of the @dropanchor.app iOS social checkins app is now waiting for review! Maybe also the first @bsky.app social checkins app? I'm not sure if i will even make a full production backend for this but i'm having fun experimenting with #atproto and #atgeo for sure.

Current state of the UI. Work in progress for sure but you can checkin and it will show up on your feed which is a win 📍#buildinpublic
