If anything changes in the future, I will happily pick this app back up.

Thanks for coming along for the ride, 'all. It has been almost 10 years since the initial release of @TalonAndroid. This app kickstarted my career in ways I could never have imagined. Thanks to everyone who used the app and has supported my work over the years 😊

Twitter has clarified their position. From this point on, apps that attempt to recreate the Twitter experience will not be allowed to access Twitter services. Unfortunately, this ultimately means that Talon will cease to work. https://t.co/48hr1SflYE

@AndroidDev if you can put me in touch with some Android Auto developer support, that would be great. I have searched and searched, but found no developer support available for Android Auto.

@AndroidDev I have always used the CarExtender API ( https://t.co/FIXkDzPVHr). I see that there are new suggestions for messaging apps ( https://t.co/z8e59RONu0), but there is no change when I implemented notifications that way. Auto just keeps saying "this app is not supported".

@AndroidDev I have had Android Auto integration for years and nothing changed on my end. I strongly believe this is an Auto issue, starting last week. I am seeing the same type of reports for Textra and Signal, as well: https://t.co/yE60ol7RW4 https://t.co/3Ss6UzN5io

For me, this was the obvious next step for Pulse SMS. I have shown my love and dedication to the open source community over the years, but this is by far my largest and best contribution 😍 Klinker Apps GitHub: https://t.co/Qlb9t4VEai Personal GitHub:

As an open source project, everyone is welcome to contribute πŸ‘ More hands and eyes on the project is always a positive! Of course, I will continue to own, support, maintain, and develop the project as I have always done. Nothing changes in terms of my support of the app.

Pulse has been a huge success since it was released in Nov 2016. It has amassed millions of downloads and hundreds of thousands of daily active users. So proud of what I have been able to achieve, developing it myself! The story obviously doesn't stop here though βœοΈπŸ“–

A lot of behind the scenes work goes into making apps - as a user, you hope you never see it. One of the biggest is the support aspect. App growth leads to more user support! Here are some of my tips, and some awesome tools I have open-sourced, to help: https://t.co/6tXnB8bvfL

100,000 DAU and the app hasn't even hit 1,000,000 downloads on the Play Store, yet. That isn't just active installs on devices, that is actually active users... Monthly active users is over 250k! Never could have imagined retention and usage like this. Android users are awesome.

Pretty cool news... Pulse SMS has been over 100k daily active users for 7 days straight, according to @Firebase. That is outstanding. Insanely proud of what I have been able to build! All in less than 2 years 🍾 Definitely seen crazy growth over the last few months, alone.

This is a pretty huge step for Pulse! You can start using it now, and I will begin to migrate all users to it, over the coming weeks. You will find it faster, smoother, more efficient, less buggy, and it comes with a few new features in tow. More info:
