Toot!.app ↙︎↙︎↙︎Nov 15, 2022

Hello! Long time no see!

And welcome to the new users, of which there are... quite many, aren't there?

As you may have noticed, this project has been on a bit of a hiatus for a while. This is something I work on in my free time, and I got a bit burned out on working on it, and wanted to use my free time for other stuff. But with this recent influx of so many new users, I figured I do need to come back to this.

So I am planning to at least release some smaller updates in the near future!

Can't guarantee I'll be working on any big features or anything, but for now I am planning to catch up a bit with the Mastodon development that's been going on, and fixing some small issues that have been annoying me.

After that, who knows. I'm certainly going to pace myself to avoid getting too sick of it, but I'll try to do a few things here and there.

@tootapp all I ask is that you keep the Toot button!

@KevSaund It’s kind of my branding now so I don’t really have a choice.

@tootapp @KevSaund the musical notes that play as you wait for a toot to post really take the sting out when the server is running slow.

@edebill @KevSaund You know you can push them around with your finger?

@tootapp @edebill @KevSaund wait what? the music notes make sound and can be pushed around wat?

@tootapp @edebill @KevSaund

Do they play a sound? If so, how do we hear it? Love the app btw!

@bomboloni @edebill @KevSaund They don't, but that's an interesting thought...

@tootapp didn’t even realize the app wasn’t under active development, it looks and works great still!

@tootapp Glad to see you back. You were the first Mastodon app I tried, and could never find the courage to delete from the phone. Happy we’re getting an update, but don’t burn out again because of it! Please. Not worth it.

@tootapp yours is my favorite mastodon app by far and this is awesome news

@tootapp Awesome! I love your app! Is there an issue tracker somewhere? I have a few small issues I'd like to report.

@tootapp would love support for opening users/toots via URL scheme for @Opener if you’re up to it 😄

@tootapp That's good to hear! I'm sure you're getting a lot of feature requests right now, but an option to use the system font on iOS would be nice to see in the future!
Show threadAnthony SoraceNov 16, 2022
@tootapp This is great news. Is the GitHub issue tracker a meaningful way to make feature requests? Is there anything better?
Show threadTed Han ★ 韓聖安Nov 16, 2022
@tootapp toot! Has definitely been my favorite iOS client! Thanks for making it.
Show threadTed Han ★ 韓聖安Nov 16, 2022

@tootapp My one main feature request: easier access to the search feature! I need to look people or posts up all the time!

Looking up posts on various different mastodon servers is something that's weirdly difficult across all the iOS clients i've tried: https://mastodon.social/@knowtheory/109331552023309763

Show threadMarco ZeheNov 16, 2022

@tootapp yay this is such good news! One thing that would make blind users very happy, is if you could fix the crash that occurs when trying to play audio media attached to a toot. Video works, pictures work, but any audio media crashes Toot! immediately. Thank you!

@tootapp I think you must now that your App have the unique UI of Mastodon Clients  and come close too Twitterific, so please continue the development of it. 🙌 👨‍🎨 📱

@tootapp Can't wait the fix the small issues
Show threadFast-Break GeschäftsstelleNov 16, 2022

@tootapp For the first step it'll be great to have support for editing and translating in the app.
And on servers with increased character limit that display stays still at 500 with v4 although it displays fine in web and the Mastodon app 😉

Thanks for getting back to my favorite Mastodon app!

Show threadLiamSora Nov 16, 2022
@tootapp If you’re looking for feature suggestions I’d really like the option to not crop photos in the timeline, and the ability to swipe right anywhere on the screen to go back instead of just from the left edge.
Show threadSascha Foerster Nov 16, 2022
@tootapp Easy! But it’s a lovely app. Editing would be great as a feature. As well as translation. Both have been added with the latest release. Thank you so much!!
Show threadRalph the flaneurNov 17, 2022
@tootapp I love your app, definitely!
I've got two suggestions:
1. Save the current timeline position to iCloud so that the user can pick up at same position on a different device.
That would be great if you switch from iPhone to iPad. I miss that Tweetbot feature very much.
2. Make it chooseable, how big the fonts are. I don't want to change that globaly, for the whole iPhone/iPad.
Thanks

@tootapp Would it help at all to have a second person working on it with you?
Show threadjaanusNov 18, 2022
@tootapp I tried a bunch of iOS Mastodon apps. You are the only one that handles timeline position and loading new messages correctly. If this was also synced across devices, that would be incredible! But even so, keep up the good work.

@tootapp Would be great to have some small updates even! Bc great features already. One request: allow changing font size, either via iOS #accessibility setting it within the app. Right now text is just too small for me to read!
Show threadJosh BraunNov 21, 2022
@tootapp Thank you for a wonderful app. I recommend it any time Mastodon comes up in conversation — which has been a lot lately. I'm excited to hear you plan to keep developing it, even if it's just to make tweaks around the edges.
Show thread13xforeverNov 26, 2022
@tootapp may I suggest to not expand username tap area to full width of the item? on short toots it’s almost always where your finger lands, opening profile instead of toot itself
