grain.social is a photography-focused photo sharing platform sign in with your atmosphere account by @chadtmiller.com github: tangled: #photography #atprotocol
A few updates: - Added a light mode on web that follows your system settings and you can change it in Settings -> Appearance - Added facepiles to gallery cards that shows if people you follow fav'd a gallery with a link to view all favorites (cc @timtrautmann.com we finally added this 😆)
New testflight build is ready for testing! Lots of new stuff! You can now comment on and favorite stories. We also redesigned the notifications interface with rollup and you can tune your notification settings. Redesigned gallery create flow, profile gallery zoom to feed view and more! #atproto
New build out in testflight. You can now try the new For You feed in the app! The For You feed takes into account your interactions in grain to show you suggested galleries based on your favs and favs of people you follow inspired by @spacecowboy17.bsky.social's For You feed. Also translations!
We've got a new "For You" to try in the web app! Click on the "More feeds" button and pin the "For You" feed to try it out ✨ grain.social/feeds/for-you
Also forgot to mention there’s a new map on the location feeds you can tap to explore.
New iOS testflight build is out! Be sure to check out the parallax effect on stories thx to @parallaxmotion.bsky.social 💅 Also added better handling of which stories you've viewed so you can see what's new. Lots of other stuff below! Let us know if you have an issues.
We're pretty stoked about this new build. We have a totally new look and feel for iOS 26 in addition to push notifications for follows, favorites, and comments! Give it a try and let us know what you think! Also spent a lot of time on getting image zoom right 🔎 testflight.apple.com/join/ju9eXf6m
Excited to announce we now support @germnetwork.com DM links on profiles and respect your settings via the germ declaration lexicon. Germ DM is an end-to-end encrypted messenger for totally private messages. Happy DM'ing!
Yeah playing around with this. If you scroll down the feed a little there’s a suggested for you section that shows mutuals (people you follow on bsky that have grain accounts)

iOS build v1.0.0+24 adds a new photo library screen accessible from the app drawer. If you upload photos with the toggle to include metadata you should see your photos organized by date. This is currently read only but we'll add more functionality soon. That's all! Have a nice weekend 🏔️
✨Cool new feature in the iOS app: you can now edit all your gallery’s alt texts at once. We’ll probably bring this back to the web app too.
Haven’t posted in a while. We’ve been heads down, working to bring a native mobile app to life. Until then, hope you’re enjoying the summer! 🎥 @chadtmiller.com #mountains #alpinemeadow #mthood
To add comments to individual photos, click on the photo, click the "Add a comment" button at the button, and a dialog will pop open to write your reply.
Gallery comments are live! You can now leave comments on a gallery or on individual photos. You can also reply to others and get notified when someone responds. All comments, whether for the gallery or its photos, are shown in one place so it’s easier to keep track of the conversation.
Launching EXIF support today! There's a new checkbox on the uploads page that enables parsing of photo metadata. We parse a small set tags from the Exif 2.3 standard instead of everything to keep it simple. We don't parse location data and the raw file is stripped on upload.
Really excited to announce that Grain now has our own moderation service that runs totally on our own infrastructure, built on the same tools that run Bluesky and on the #atprotocol. We are aiming to be a totally new social network focused on photography. 📸
We also updated the notifications page to show when you get a new follow on grain.
Also dropped the Activity tab since it's not really doing much right now making galleries the main view. If you haven't already you should checkout these photos by @freyja-lynx.dev!
