I've finally given #pinafore a try and while it's not for me, it's a fantastic #mastodon interface app alternative! #Accessibility
Related: If you want an actually *snappy* fedi experience, kudos to @nolan because Pinafore is just unbeatable.
Head out to https://pinafore.social and try it out today!
@_sven I have been test-driving #pinafore, and I love the interface so far. Just disabled a few things in settings, and it has been way better than the @fosstodon default interface for me. Kudos to the folx behind @pinafore and PWA FTW! #fediverse
Back on @pinafore after briefly switching back to Mastodon (web) app. Pinafore just has a better UI.
@brainblasted For me? Pinafore https://pinafore.social/ by @nolan
I use it just as a website on desktop, but have it installed as a PWA on my phone. Source code over at https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore
Since I moved over to a new instance, I figured I'd used today as an excuse to change how I use social media (doubly so because I'm dabbling with the idea of deleting my birdsite account, for predictable reasons to most of you).
I highly suspect I won't miss any of the numbers or other visuals I just disabled. Thanks, @nolan, for implementing this in Pinafore!
Pinafore v2.0.0
This is a major release due to a breaking change for self-hosters. For self-hosters, the new minimum Node.js version has been bumped to v12.20+, v14.14+, or v16.0+.
Other than that, there are only small bug fixes and perf improvements. Enjoy!
Masto app developers!
How do you refresh current timeline?
For a long time we used a trick where we took top post id, incremented ID by one and expected that top post to be returned back but it doesn't seem to actually work, you need to increment by some much bigger number.
Would love to hear from you.
Just switched from Firefox to Vivaldi as my web browser, and I gotta say: It's pretty nice to have @pinafore as a "web panel" sidebar thing so I can stay up with all the toots while doing my normal browsing.
Pinafore v1.24.3
Bugfixes:
- Remove Pinafore from FLoC
- a11y fixes
Release notes: https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/releases/tag/v1.24.3
And as always, the best way to update Pinafore is to reload your browser tab. Or you can go to Settings -> Reload and it will do the same thing.
Pinafore v1.24.0
New features!
- In the Wellness settings, you can now show absolute timestamps on toots (e.g. "March 14") instead of relative timestamps (e.g. "5 minutes ago"), which may reduce feelings of immediacy/urgency. (Like, "I need to respond right away!") Thanks to @kepstin for this!
- On Windows/Mac, if you add Pinafore as a PWA to your taskbar, you can right-click the icon to see shortcuts to write a new toot and view your notifications.
Release notes: https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/releases/tag/v1.24.0
Pinafore v1.23.0
- Word/phrase filters: go to Settings -> Instances -> (instance name) to filter words from timelines
- Press "z" to close/hide all CWs in a thread
- Share photos from other apps directly to Pinafore (only on Android/ChromeOS)
- Show unread notifications in PWA app icon (only on Windows/Mac)
- Various bugfixes and perf improvements
