To be clear, what you are doing still blows my mind. A multi-platform app, in multiple form factors, its simply incredible. Having OS or platform specific UI would be so burdensome and I do often find myself using Lagrane on iOS

(Psst... don't tell anyone, but my secret plan is to actually build a true, native mobile app for NewsWaffle. I think it would be a really great experience that way, and some of my friends can use it that aren't interested in Gemini. So I'm using a Gemini client as kind of a gateway project to better learn iOS development. IT"S A SECRET TO EVERYBODY 😂... and all of BBS...)

Personally, I would be more interested in getting iCloud sync for Lagrange, because I use the visual state of visited links a lot. Without it, I stick to Lagrange on desktop only and don't use Gemini on mobile at all, which is not ideal.

Having Lagrange iOS perpetually in TestFlight doesn't bother me much.

I am currently using Elaho, it’s usable, but yes that scrolling position not being stored is irritating. Also, it took me a while to figure out how to get a certificate created to post here, as it’s not exactly obvious how it’s done (although, that could just be me being a bit dense). That other client I did try, but it wasn’t for me. A bit more choice on the IPhone would be good though.

macOS Gemini clients (.., and iOS too) — Feels like an opportunity... There are no gemini clients in the macOS app store. Instead you only get results from iOS app store, and there are only 2 actual Gemini clients: Elaho or a bad port of DeeDum. Followed by a hilariously bad knock-off Spider-Man game named "Amazing Spider Superheo - Strange Running game". That's it Elaho has a number of bugs, including this show stopper: DeeDum is.. well, DeeDum. It looks and feels like an Android app. Lagrange...
