"1979" is a song by American #alternativeRock band #theSmashingPumpkins. It was released in 1996 as the second single from their third studio album, #MellonCollieAndTheInfiniteSadness. "1979" was written by frontman #BillyCorgan, and features #loops and #samples uncharacteristic of previous Smashing Pumpkins songs. The song foreshadows the #synthpop sound the band would embrace more openly on Adore and its tracks "#AvaAdore" and "#Perfect".

I like #Pixelfed and #Loops, but I am annoyed that both mobile apps look so similar to their counterparts. Seriously, before looking at the title at the top my friends thought I had gotten Insta. And loops (although I'm not a fan of short form vids I test it out) UI looks very similar to what I've seen of Tiktok and Reels. Just saying. And they use the same icon sets.
The Pixelfed mobile app is also very slow on Android, luckily there is a better app #Pixelix.
Edit: this has shipped!
The next @loops app build will allow you to capture/record video in the app
Available soon!
Working on a new Loops app build after updating RN from 0.74.5 to 0.79.2 (hello new arch )
I've also rewritten the main feed logic to better handle various screen sizes, no more broken feeds on Android
Stay tuned!
Found a clever solution to the full screen height bug in Loops on Android, just in time for edge to edge!

I love @Tusky for general fediversing around, but @apps has totally become my favorite pixelfed client.

I'm back to Pixelfed + Loops development!
So incredibly proud of the new https://fedidb.com, it took a week longer than expected, because I had to be extra and add a bunch new graphs
It was worth it though!
May the fourth be with you!
To those who might make content for #Loops. May I offer some inspiration from a simpler and better era of the internet?
