Pinafore @pinafore@mastodon.technology

Pinafore is now on Mastodon! (How meta is that?)

Follow this account for updates on https://pinafore.social, and toot at us to report bugs or ask for features.

Proof this is us: https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/#readme

🆒 New stuff

On Chrome for Android, you can now tap "…" and then "share toot" to share the toot with any other app (see video). This is coming soon to iOS Safari as well.

🏎️ Faster

The main pinafore.social server should now be faster thanks to being hosted as a static site. See the release notes for details.

Enjoy!

Release notes: https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/releases/tag/v1.2.0

🆕 New stuff

- You can now share from other apps to Pinafore (Chrome for Android only for now)

🤓 Self-hosting

- Pinafore can now run on ports other than 4002
- Server-side memory usage reduced from ~300MB to ~48MB (self-hosters: see notes)

🐞 Bugfixes

- Automatic dark mode in supported browsers (Safari Tech Preview on macOS only for now)
- a11y: color contrast improved, Pinafore now scores 100% in Lighthouse accessibility audit

Release notes: https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/releases/tag/v1.1.0

Coming soon to #Pinafore: if you're using macOS Mojave and it's in dark mode, then Pinafore will default to dark mode! https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/pull/966

Note: this is in Safari Technology Preview only, for now. prefers-color-scheme is an emerging web standard: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-color-scheme

This is a quick bugfix release to make it so that right-clicking to download an image still works inside of the media carousel. Thanks to @sc for reporting the bug!

Release notes: https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/releases/tag/v1.0.1

🐛 Bugfixes!

If you've set "reduce motion in UI animations," then all smooth-scrolling will now be disabled (e.g. tapping the nav bar to scroll to the top, keyboard shortcuts to scroll through toots, the image carousel, etc.).

If you've set "Disable tappable area on entire toot," then the cursor will no longer be a hand when you hover over toots.

Thanks, and enjoy Pinafore v1.0.0!

🍭 New features!

A swipey, pinchey-zoomey media carousel! Thanks to @charlag you can also tap ← and → to navigate left and right.

Faster instance switching! You can now go to Settings → Instances and tap the ⭐ icon to switch instances. Thank you @SuricrasiaOnline for this contribution!

Pinafore has hit v1.0.0! Rather than a momentous occasion, though, this is more to communicate a breaking change for those who self-host Pinafore (ala semantic versioning: https://semver.org). But there are also some new features and bugfixes!

⚠️ Breaking change ⚠️

Pinafore now uses yarn instead of npm. If you self-host, learn how to update: https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/blob/master/BREAKING_CHANGES.md#100

This can be tested at https://dev.pinafore.social right now, or wait a bit for the next release. :)

Coming soon to Pinafore: switch to an instance directly from the "Instances" setting page, thanks to an excellent contribution by @SuricrasiaOnline https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/pull/945

New features!

- Moar keyboard shortcuts! Press "m" to mention someone or "p" to see their profile. Press "?" or "h" to see all shortcuts.
- Added option to underline links in toot/profile text

Bugfixes!

- Various fixes for keyboard shortcuts (thanks Stephane Zermatten!)
- "copy link" works on iOS now

Release notes: https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/releases/tag/v0.18.0

Thanks to some awesome community contributions, Pinafore has some cool new features!

- Keyboard shortcuts (thanks Stephane Zermatten!)
- Long posts are automatically CW'ed (thanks Will Pearson!)
- Themes are now labeled as "dark" or "light" (thanks Nathan Minchow!)

You can see the list of keyboard shortcuts by typing "?" or "h". They can also be disabled in the settings.

Release notes: https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/releases/tag/v0.17.0

If you're not seeing all the emoji in the new emoji picker, then you may need to upgrade your operating system. There's also an issue tracking whether or not we can detect unsupported system emoji: https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/issues/849

Pinafore v0.16.0 now features a full emoji keyboard! It's very similar to Mastodon's, as they both rely on the emoji-mart library. Minor differences include:

- Native system emoji are used rather than Twemoji
- A large preview of the emoji is shown when hovering
- The skin tone selector is on the bottom rather than the top

Bugfixes:

- Better support for Pleroma media (thanks @sirikon!)
- Preserve newlines in "delete and redraft"

Release notes: https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/releases/tag/v0.16.0

In Pinafore v0.15.0, you can now drag-and-drop to upload images and videos! One of our oldest issues (#65), now closed.

There are also some bugfixes and performance improvements. Enjoy!

Release notes: https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/releases/tag/v0.15.0

A quick bugfix release! You'll get it next time you refresh your browser. :)

This release brings some small bugfixes, mostly around CSS and design.
