For anyone interested in the technical side of the changes getting introduced in iOS 13 regarding messaging apps, the 707 session 'Advances in App Background Execution' of WWDC 2019 is really helpful: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/707/

Hey there, the on-going 'syncing' state means that the Hearth daemon still processes your changes.

How many files have you tried to add and how big were they?

If that doesn't stop after a while, consider restarting Hearth app.

Regarding the Finder integration, if neither the context menu item to be shown nor the Hearth toolbar button then make sure the Hearth Finder extension is enabled (Visit the System Preferences > Extensions > Finder and enable Hearth) and the restart Finder by option+right clicking the Finder icon in your Dock and selecting 'Relaunch'.

Hope that helps!

Yep, it's just not being explained enough in our Privacy Policy. We will change that.

Linkpack does not collect all of your links and sends them to our servers. Only after tapping the share button in a particular folder, and only then, it makes a request to Dropbox API to collect just the links of this particular folder, in order to generate the page that you can share with your friends.

Linkpack makes use of some iOS8 APIs (it has a Share Extension, it uses the UIVibrancyEffect and UISearchController etc) that would increase the development time if we decided to support older versions. I understand the frustration but this was a decision we had to make in order to speed up the development. Plus iOS8+9 now make up the 94% of the install base according to Apple: https://developer.apple.com/support/app-store/.

I understand. Too bad for me.

Safari view controller was released as an API when we were further down in the development of Linkpack. That said, while Safari VC has some handy features like the reader mode, it does not let us do stuff like tracking the reading progress or customizing the look of it to match the look and feel of the Linkpack app. We do keep an eye on this API though.

Uhm that's weird, what browser are you using?

Firefox with javascript disabled.

The disabled javascript is the cause of the issue here. The page waits till all the images are loaded and then begins the initial animation. I will need to find a workaround for people who have JS disabled. Out of curiosity though, why is Javascript disabled in your browser? :)

Mainly because of speed issues. I often have 100+ tabs open and if every site loads a gazillion scripts, Firefox becomes unresponsive.

So how do you use any of those sites without the scripts working?

Thanks!

Right now there a $1.99 IAP that enables extra functionality such as Reading Progress, Narration and more but -as we are in a really early stage- this might change in the future, depending on the features that will be implemented.

That's just the first release of Linkpack :) There are plans for a universal app in a future update that will support all iOS devices.

Any plans for offline reading?

Yep, offline support is already on the roadmap :)

That is great to hear, I'll definitely give it a spin.

Great!

We plan to create a Safari extension as soon as possible and a Firefox one just after that. The first release of Linkpack was just an MVP, so we will definitely add support for more browsers as we continue the development!

Fantastic, I'll keep an eye out for when that happens. Congratulations on shipping!

Thanks! :)
