Thank you so much for letting me know. It seems blacksky uses "topic/" urls for trends and not the same kind of at uris as Bluesky and other atproto pdss so Heron doesn't recognize it. I should have a fix out by this weekend.

Hi! You don't get any search results when you search? For drafts, is it that you're unable to load or save drafts? Any more detail to help understand the issues you're facing help!

The latest Heron release lets you save your searches as @graze.social feeds! Pin them to your home screen, share with your friends, fandoms or whoever! Remember! Feeds are public on Bluesky. When permissioned spaces roll out, expect private saved searches :)

Still not quite the same, but the Heron app (@heron.tunji.dev) does a pretty good imitation.

I've been working on heron for a bit, so decided to do a lil branding and marketing refresh on the Play Store. Here are a few Heron highlights 😊

A quick mid-week update to Heron lands some major performance improvements. Scrolling the timeline should now be smoother than ever. Like buttery smooth. Also, if you do a media only search and go to the gallery, the gallery now lets you vertically scroll your search results where you left off.

The latest Heron release includes the new Bluesky setting to mute a profile's reposts and a quote post unrolling feature. You can also get a summary of an unrolled quote thread if you want.

This week's Heron release allows giving feedback to for feed generator about the posts it serves, as well as initial support for post drafts. It also improves scrollingand general UI performance in the app!

The latest Heron release now has advanced search. You can now choose to limit your search result to those with media,or just videos. If you do, you can also change the layout of the search results ☺️

100%. The models run locally and is an optional download. If you don't download the model, nothing happens.

Heron @heron.social · 09/07/2026

The latest Heron release allows for downloading inference models that run completely locally on your device and work without an Internet connection. These models can be used to translate posts for world cup szn, and even vibe check a profile. I'm experimenting with more use cases for the future!

Hi, thanks again for the suggestion. Someone actually requested the opposite, which was implemented here: github.com/tunjid/heron... If you can, please use Github to ask for features as it makes it easier for me to track. I have a few that I am currently working through: github.com/tunjid/heron...

This week's Heron release is a small quality of life one. The Black Heron theme has been updated to be OLED black. The previous color scheme is now under the Pied Heron theme.

The cool thing about standard.site content is Bluesky clients like @heron.tunji.dev already do exactly this. If Bluesky adds the same support, you'll see all your blog posts from platforms like the ones mentioned above in a tab on your profile.

The Agami Herons are back at Agami Island for nesting. They're a little later than they were last year because of the lower water levels, but over the next few weeks we should be seeing about 1,000 adults for the new season. #CostaRica #herons #birds

I'm mad I didn't hear about Heron sooner! It's an ATproto client for mobile that I'm really liking. It's "form over function" - slicker UI & animations, but lighter on features and *much* smaller than the Bsky app. heron.tunji.dev (And it started out on Android, always a plus in my book 👍🏽)

Thanks so much for the kind words! Its been a lot of fun making it!

The latest Heron release supports viewing and uploading up to 10 photos. Also bc media uploads can sometimes fail, there's now a dedicated tasks settings item so you can see and retry all actions you've queued up so you always know what the app is up to ☺️

Hi! Just had some time open up to look at this. I migrated the test heron acc to selfhosted.social and was able to sign in. I'm assuming I need to use PDS gatekeeper too to reproduce. How do I do that?

Hiya! This should be fixed now, the latest apk on github should install.

Heron @heron.social · 07/06/2026

😔 is it at least marginally better than before? I'll keep working on improving it. It's hard to get a baseline, I don't have an android tablet and test it on an emulator.

Today's Heron release expands standard site support significantly. A lot of the ideas in Alex's post below already existed in Heron, and now you can subscribe to standard site publications directly from the timeline! Check out the video to see Heron's integration 😊

😔 I'm not sure either. Maybe something in the oauth flow I need to support after the auth callback.
