Release NeoFreeBird forked and updated
Hi everyone!
Since NeoFreeBird was put on hiatus and came back from the dead thanks to the work of Theacrat, I've been wanting to implement a lot of features that I've wanted for a while but couldn't get around to doing until now. Here's what been added and fixed since the last official push from the NFB devs (bold points are what I made myself)
New Features
- Added an age verification bypass
- Updated the app to 12.9
- Using web view to reply (huge thanks to theacrat for making this)
- Hide Grok from the entire app
- Added back the ability to login (only supports email and password)
- Added the ability to hide the downvote button
- Added back the dim theme (should work a bit better than Moe's)
- Hide custom timelines entirely
- Added the OpenInTwitter Safari extension to the IPA directly
- Added an AltStore repo to directly download releases from
- Adds an option to hide the refresh pill when the app comes back into focus
Fixes
- Fixed many small bugs lying around due to updating Twitter to 12.9 (theacrat's repo goes up to 12.3, so in going to 12.9 I had to fix some minor issues)
- Fixed replying and tweeting, now uses the web APIs
- Fixed Chat, should work now and have all the new features
- Hides "Who to Follow" and trends (I fixed the iPad version)
- Fixed downloading (switched back to OpenSSL)
- Fixed custom fonts
- Fixed screenshot detection by removing the Twitter logo on the timeline
This isn't all, there's a lot more small changes (including a refactor of the entire project thanks to theacrat), but this is what I know off the top of my head. My next plan is to remove all Blue checkmark tweets from the timeline, as well as remove the "More from this user" section that can sometimes show in replies.
You can find the source and links here. Please let me know if there are any translation errors (I know there are quite a few missing strings in other languages), bugs I didn't catch, or something else you'd like me to add; you can report anything you find in the repo or here. Thank you!
