Awesome

Alpaca Blue

It's another Mastodon client. I'm sorry.

Specifically, it is a paired set: react-native is an iOS app and take2 is a web app.

Why?

• Partly as an excuse to try building a substantial "serverless" app using Remix
• Partly because all the existing Mastodon clients have incredibly terrible notification screens and it was driving me crazy
• I want quote-posts and embedded tweets
• I don't want local or federated timelines

What does it do?

At the moment very little. You can

• Log in from any instance
• View your timeline
• See your notifications (they are batched like Twitter, this is the primary differentiator so far)
• View threads, and reply with correct threading
• Post (text only so far)
• Like and repost
• View profiles
• Search for things

What doesn't it do

Well, everything else, but in particular

• No DMs yet (I am considering a totally parallel, actually private DM solution)

Known bugs

So many. There is a project tracker so you can see what is and isn't on my radar.
