Build is live for iOS (not optimized for iPad yet): https://testflight.apple.com/join/owwIagmV

macOS (not as optimized as the 3D scene is visible too): https://github.com/neatia/Loom/releases/tag/1.0.3b(6)

Note:

Still debating whether to move over to the new app bundle id for Loom. May do so after moderation tooling before another public post about Loom in other communities. I am going to keep the current build at v1.0.3 for a bit so the Testflight updates quickly.

Prior to moving onto moderation tooling, I want to experiment with additional caching solutions. I feel this could be a pain point for lots of people hosting small instances. If there’s an app that is inefficiently requesting data over and over. Even though rate limit settings are available, maybe additional work can be done on the client to balance between excessive calls + UX.
