Here’s a quick screen capture demo of how I did the below post. It works on iOS, iPad and also M-series Macs.
It’s still an early build but if you want to test here’s a Testflight link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/LDJGX8QV

Hey Folks, I’m going to pause contributing to the Nostr Tech Weekly.
I have too many commitments at this point to give it the time it deserves. I still fully believe in Nostr and the community and the wonderful devs 💪.
I’ve had a lot of fun working with nostr:npub19mduaf5569jx9xz555jcx3v06mvktvtpu0zgk47n4lcpjsz43zzqhj6vzk and look forward to seeing how to support the community going forward.
Love yall ❤️
