And there's even more goodies in this release 👀

Congrats to the AltStore team!

With this update, users can view all likes on these from across the social web directly in AltStore — and even connect their Mastodon or Bluesky accounts to like them in-app 💚

An extra bonus for Vivaldi users on iOS: today's new Vivaldi 7.8 lets you install alternate app stores, such as @altstore.io where you don't have to pay tribute to Apple. (Note, only in EU; other jurisdictions don't have Digital Markets Act, so Apple won't let you have nice things.)

Additionally, we'll be donating ALL our Patreon earnings from now through February to PACT: www.wearepact.org/

We feel this is necessary in the face of ongoing threats to children’s safety — and to prevent them in the future.
