Hey all!

Saw some chatter across the community and just wanted to give an update of where things are.

It's been a busy summer with vacations, work and the craziness that comes along with it. I personally had 2 new additions to my family (twins!) and was on parental leave for a bit then figuring out the new work routine with the additional kiddos!

All that being said things are starting to stabilize for me and I'm getting back into the swing of Liftoff development. I have a laundry list of items I plan to tackle during the long weekend in the US:

• Move through the backlog of open PRs and get those merged
• Look into the unwarranted post view refresh that I've seen reported
• Triage the GitHub issues list
• Sluggish FPS

Additionally we're actively discussing larger user experiences that we're thinking about changing, specifically multi instance and cross instance account handling. You can track that discussion and please contribute your thoughts here:

Thanks for using the app, and thanks for being an active community. Excited for what's to come!

As always please join us on matrix!
