After a long stretch of heads-down work on @mimestream@mastodon.social iOS… our first TestFlight build was approved! 🎉📱 We're now onboarding the first few external testers to help us iron out the kinks.

Sorry, **no extra invites** just yet, but stay tuned–more updates coming soon! 👀

Just sent out another 150 invites for the Mimestream iOS “pre-beta”. It’s starting to feel better every week, like with just a bit more polish, we can formally announce the iOS beta to everyone.

Adding push to the @mimestream@mastodon.social iOS beta wasn't easy. Most apps use servers with access to your account – but not Mimestream!

Privacy is a core value for us, so we built a unique "Private Push" infrastructure. It's lightning-fast, and has NO access to your account credentials or your email data 🙌

I'm so proud of the teamwork that's going into building it, and look forward to the team publishing a write-up on how it all works! It's an elegant solution to a surprisingly complex problem.

Just released @mimestream@mastodon.social 1.3 in early access, with experimental deep linking support.

If you're interested in trying this out, update to 1.3 and enable the feature from Settings > Labs. Feedback is very welcome while we work to finalize the feature for release!

@ashishgandhi @mimestream We'll be sending out an email campaign soon with instructions on how to join the official waitlist for a TestFlight invite. Invites will be sent out to the earliest customers first, so the order is already pre-determined.

@rjbs @mimestream Yeah, it’s Gmail API specific. The client tells the API to deliver opaque events to a Google PubSub topic, and our relay service pulls those and forwards them to APNS. The APNS side was tricky tho. On macOS, we just do IMAP directly from the device, since that’s easier. Gmail’s IDLE is kinda sluggish though.

@robby Great to hear anecdotes that there's at least some real-world usage! The Mimestream integration itself has plenty of issues, many of which are due to API limitations. Given the sheer volume of bug reports we get about most things, I'm still surprised we haven't heard more.

@ptoomey3 @rjbs @mimestream That’s a good question! The app itself does have to ask for the full Gmail access scope in order to perform its function as an email client, which is what it does today. The new push service itself asks for nothing and doesn’t have any Google tokens at all. I know there will be lots of questions on the details, so the blog post outlining how all of this works is definitely coming!

@fatlazycat Getting more and more invites out every week! If you want, you can private message me your email and I’ll give you a better indication of when you’ll be up!

@mattbanks @mimestream Oh, that’s awesome to hear, and I’m glad to hear that it’s working well for that use-case! I was definitely under the impression that absolutely nobody was using any of it 🥲

@rjbs @mimestream It’s pretty similar to the way JMAP push works — opaque events. The more clever parts are specific to iOS + APNS and the way they work.
