(July 2025) I'm currently polishing up an on-device app that I wrote for myself a few months ago to safely expand shortened links and to get rid of tracking parameters from URLs and QR codes for release as a free app (https://cleanlinks.app). My other app (https://slopornot.app , an on-device AI generated text and image detector) has been stuck in App Store review limbo for almost a month now. Probably because it's an on-device ML app and not another OpenAI API wrapper, which seem to get approved by Apple, really fast. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Scunthorpe problem seems to be showing in the latter case.

Indeed! :) I noticed it too and decided it was worth the risk. The name was too good to pass up.
