I find it odd that no #iOS Mastodon clients seem to use the marker API to save/sync the home timeline position: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/markers/
It took me just a few hours to implement serviceable timeline sync, and the ability to switch between iPad and iPhone and pick up right where I left off is a godsend. My two week old #PleistoceneClient is already my favorite way to consume my timeline. ✨
The timeline for #PleistoceneClient is starting to feel really nice.
- ✅ Buttery smooth scrolling (tested on my iPhone 6S!)
- ✅ Maintains timeline position (I'm a completionist!)
- TODO: Syncs timeline position via Mastodon's Marker API
- TODO: Renders CWs, images, instance emojis
Seeing as I'm more of a lurker than a poster, I need to resist losing motivation once I achieve my ideal timeline UX. 😅
Spent a few hours this evening implementing app and user authentication for my new #iOS #MastodonClient, no major hurdles!
The thing where you register a separate clientID per install of the app per instance that the app interacts with feels a bit odd, but I guess it makes since given the federated model. It’s not like I can bundle a clientID for every instance in the app! #PleistoceneClient
