 New version of Olas is out on TestFlight!

Many fixes, and added a cute (maybe controversial?) expiration tag to the publishing flow.

Version should be 0.1.2 (63)

 It's not the final logo right ??? 
 That's the final logo and you'll like it 
 Haha no, I’ll get a real logo at some point, my design skills are just not that great 😅😅😅

Can I help? Olas means waves right?

 There is a trick: olas means waves, but in Spanish there is also Hola which means hello… in Spanish they are homophones, both words are pronounced the same, Pablo has played with this and that is why the current logo is a waving hand and waves in the background… it is an interesting detail that can help 
 Yes, AND also I was actually looking for a Greek word and thought of όλο which ended up taking me to όλος which is a declination and from that I thought that it sounded similar to olas and holas 😅😅 
 In Bluesky they used two techniques that are underrated but brought in a lot of users: the first is an interface similar to what they wanted to supplant, Twitter, this made those who come feel familiar with the app without having ever seen it before and achieved more user retention, in Olas it is already very polished… the other technique is the logo: they used the same color tones as the old Twitter bird logo that most people yearned for and replaced it with their white butterfly just like the Twitter bird… in Olas you could pull nostalgia against Instagram with these ideas and maybe it would manage to attract more users and who knows if it would help to keep them too 👀 
 Oh, I like it a lot more than what I have right now! 🤙🤙 can I use it? 
 I'd be honoured my man!

I opened an issue in the Snapstr repo with a zip of the various apple sizes: https://github.com/pablof7z/snapstr/issues/1

I'll do the android sizes now 
 I just tried to install it on Android from Zap Store and I got this: https://image.nostr.build/320000956c6bb4e5bbc0e0d1fa9f3e2c0d1a0325c64a191d88d3f8309276a0c4.jpg

 Same 
 Same here 
 Same. 
Is this a kind:20 client (instagram-like)? 
 I don't know what a 20 client is, but it is Instagram-like. 
 Yes; it’s a kind:20 client. Kind 20 is an instagram-type feed 🤙 
 Hey nice, but please fix dark mode 🙏 
 I like that there are expiring posts! Great feature! 
 what's up with the lack of icon in the preview here?  
 No idea, there’s probable a separate KYC process to change the icon of the preview.

 
 😂 Blood, urine, and stool samples included.  
 Nice! One issue I’m seeing is a spinner when publishing. Doesn’t seem to go away 
 Was having the same, I tried again just now and was able to publish an image. A little compressed but success. I think the relays took some time to sync? 🤔 
 Hmmm, were you using the default blossom server or did you choose your own?

It defaults to primal’s blossom server but it’s sometimes very very slow. 
 Default 
 Login with amber, please. 
 I wanted to try it, but Zapstore gives me this error 🤔

 now it works! 
 Omg I didn’t know you launched a new app 👏🫂 
 The bottom menu is barely visible and I can’t make it work at all https://image.nostr.build/cb12122643d243ea640d1f8dda1470025f5dccccc5b319fb1a5cb44ee4be1b48.jpg  
 For me, I see only blurry images and videos with no sound... any ideas?
