What she said
ALT The lyrics “Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time” from Taylor Swifts 2017 song “Look What You Made Me Do”. The lyrics are in white on a blurry background.
By the way, if someone finds a way to bypass Twitters restrictions, or they by the goodness of their own hearts disable it, chances are that NeoFreeBird will return - which is why I said it’s on hiatus and not abandoned.
Personally, I suggest using @ControlPanelFT.
NeoFreeBird versions v7.3.1 and v6.10.1 are out! These are mainly just a laundry list of bug fixes, as well as a few minor features. Here's what's new and changed!

Still no Pirate Shop Token, but later today I'll push out a new bug-fix update.

NeoFreeBird development is on hold until I can get that fuckass Pirate Shop token in Fortnite

I (@orionblur) am making a group chat for people who translate NeoFreeBird, since I want to give translators time to actually get the strings ready. If you translate already/want to translate, comment below with the language you can translate + a Github PR you made (optional)!

I'll post a separate branch on the GitHub repo soon for this split-view branch. If anyone with a Duo and knowledge of Objective-C is willing to add support for the unfolded Duo, ping me (@orionblur) and I'll talk about what I've learned from the implementation.
Now working on Liquid Glass. This likely won’t come for a bit since it’s quite ugly (and I want to make this code maintainable for many people), but it’s 100% possible.

If you're having issues on a v7 build with your entire app lagging, try this build. I made a few changes which should hopefully optimize loading. Just make sure to log out of every account and do a fresh install before installing this build though.

![[Bug] Repeated crash while loading timeline after login – iOS 16.5 / X 12.31.1 / Tool 7.1.1 · Issue...](https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/2119616497244925952/IQyO-RFW?format=jpg&name=800x419)
I (@orionblur) want to make a quick recap about what’s changed with NeoFreeBird, specifically, why there's a v6 and a v7.
TLDR: Use v6 if you stuck with OG NFB, use v7 if unsure about what I'm saying. Both have the same features, but I'll explain what's changed below.

When Twitter added attestation back earlier this year, that sealed off a newer login path, but there still were older login paths that didn't have attestation (hence why you saw those 9.67 login IPAs). @gingerbeardman made an excellent PR on a fork that used this flow.

Guess who's back, back again?
ALT A tweet with the translated caption "Remi, flowers really suit you, don't they?". The footer of the tweet has the source label returned, with it displaying "Twitter for iPhone."
Credit to naoya-in on GitHub for making the fix for Control Panel for Twitter! I've just restored the old code and swapped the URL for the API call.

I’ve changed how to access NeoFreeBird settings, now you have to hold the bird on the home menu (for next release). I didn’t want to bother hooking pure Swift.

Added 2 (or I guess 1, depending how you count it) highly-requested toggles to NeoFreeBird, allowing you to filter out retweets and/or quote tweets!

Purged the money icon from NeoFreeBird! No clue why Elon's pushing so hard from it anyways.

ALT The sidebar on the NeoFreeBird app on an iPhone 14, missing the new Money icon that X has been rolling out.
First post as @orionblur, hi! My pinned post is a brief overview of me, but I'm very excited to work on NeoFreeBird, especially after bringing it back from the brink. There's a lot of fun stuff I've added (like custom send sounds), but there's more planned from me!
.@orionblur has now become a member of the NeoFreeBird team. They now have write access to the neofreebird.com website, and all NeoFreeBird repos, along with delegate access to this account.
I (@actuallyaridan) may start working on it as well again.
It seems like some people have picked NeoFreeBird where I left it. You should really check it out!
I might send a pull request or two in the future, we’ll see.
