And now Toot! v17.1 is out, as well!

https://toot.to/

This is the second in a series of releases that implement support for new Mastodon features. More will come in the near future, but this version offers:

* Support for different limits on different servers. Some servers allow longer toots, more attachments, or more poll options.
* Support for editing your toots if your server is on Mastodon 4.0.

‎Toot! is a client for the Mastodon social network. It is beautiful, and full of character and whimsy. What makes Toot! special? - It is delightful. It is full of beautiful design, animation, amusing details and hidden treasures. - It is fast and robust. It caches data locally to let you read withou…

@tootapp Does it have a Translate feature?
Show threadpacbardNov 25, 2022
@Robyn780

Translate is not available yet.

Maybe it could be supported like in Metatext by selecting the text and using the native translation interface.

@tootapp oh, after a few obsessive refreshes of app updates it’s there now. Yippy!

Edited to add: This toot edited from the Toot! App!

@thatKomputerKat Do what I did: force the update. Locate the app in the store, it will have the word "Open" beside it.
Tap on the app's icon to see more info. "Open" then becomes "Update." @tootapp

@tootapp Are you planning on making the animations respect "reduce motion"? I really love the app but the amount of animation is just too much for me unfortunately. (I totally grok that others love it, though!)

@tootapp

One question or suggestion, would it be possible to get rid of the "Removed by filter" rows?

Show threadToot!.app ↙︎↙︎↙︎Nov 25, 2022
@supermurs Not really, for both technical reasons and because it would probably be more confusing.
Show threadAnttiNov 25, 2022

@tootapp

Understood, thanks for the response! ☺️

Show threadNiléane 🐈‍⬛Nov 25, 2022
@tootapp @supermurs Could you perhaps add the name of the filter like on the Web UI?
Show threadToot!.app ↙︎↙︎↙︎Nov 25, 2022
@nileane @supermurs This is part of the new filtering API, which I don't think I will implement until more servers are on v4, because I don't want to have to support two different filtering APIs in the app, and I also don't want to leave people on instances that haven't updated yet without filtering.
Show threadNiléane 🐈‍⬛Nov 25, 2022
@tootapp @supermurs I see, that makes sense :)
Show threadToot!.app ↙︎↙︎↙︎Nov 25, 2022
@nileane @supermurs I am looking forward to adding it though, because it will let me remove a lot of junk from the app. Just can't remove it until everyone is ready.

Show threadNate BarhamNov 25, 2022
@tootapp Does the timeline stay where you left it or scroll to the top every time you refresh? That’s kind of a make or break feature for me.
Show threadToot!.app ↙︎↙︎↙︎Nov 25, 2022
@NateBarham The timeline stays in place as much as possible, but to refresh you do need to scroll to the top anyway?
Show threadNate BarhamNov 25, 2022
@tootapp Ah! Good question. So some clients, like Metatext and the official app, have a “load new posts” bar that comes in and loads new posts above or below or just completely obliterate your position and take you to the top.
Show threadToot!.app ↙︎↙︎↙︎Nov 25, 2022
@NateBarham No, that is designed to work as smoothly as possible. It will react to your scrolling direction so it knows which direction to load more posts in.

@tootapp @NateBarham I really love this  it such a nice detail! thank you very much!
Show threadVitali Bondar 🇺🇦Nov 25, 2022
@tootapp Fantastic app! Can you add the ability to select the post text? I often need to translate the text of posts from unfamiliar languages. Now, to do this, I need to make four clicks: 1) open the post menu, 2) select "share toot", 3) select "as text", 4) select a translator (e.g. DeepL).
It would also be great to be able to share "as text" a thread to translate all posts at once.

@tootapp
Your techie description is meaningful only to the bits and bytes people! Try describing how your app has improved usability, or simplified Mastodon complexity, or provided an automated intelligent feed, or given people a Twitter lookalike switch... if you have such improvements.

If you don't, perhaps you could get to work on these?

Show threadJesse VincentNov 25, 2022
@tootapp Is there a chance you might implement font size configuration? My old eyes are having trouble using Toot! late at night, even though it's my favorite Mastodon client.
Show threadToot!.app ↙︎↙︎↙︎Nov 25, 2022
@jesse I'm hoping to get around to that eventually, it's just a slightly big task.
Show threadJesse VincentNov 25, 2022
@tootapp I can imagine! (I've never actually done iOS dev and have no idea how the platform affordances work.)
Show threadToot!.app ↙︎↙︎↙︎Nov 25, 2022
@jesse The affordances for this are actually good, the problem is that changing the font size is likely to break the designs and layouts everywhere and I have to go through everything and fix it it one by one.
Show threadJesse VincentNov 25, 2022
@tootapp understood
Show threadMathieu LegrandNov 26, 2022
@tootapp @jesse another one, maybe simpler: could you make the arrows (the up or down arrows to complete gaps in the timeline) bigger? It is extremely hard to know if the arrow is pointing up or down 🧐

@tootapp Wonderful, thank you for reviving this project. I came across Toot! a few weeks ago but noticed that it was dormant and therefore moved on to other apps. With the addition of the Edit feature, I think this is now the most feature-rich app on iOS (and definitely the most beautiful!) so I decided to make a purchase.
Show threadCarrieNov 26, 2022
@tootapp It would be absolutely fabulous if the app enabled users to change the font size in the app. The tiny font size is the one feature that keeps me from being able to use it. #accessibility
Show threadSuecrisNov 26, 2022
@WarYarnSpinner @tootapp I really wish the web version had a navigation bar with an arrow at the top and the bottom to move up one line in either direction. As it is, I often miss a lot because it scrolls in big half-page sized chunks and it's hard to get back to see what it scrolled past.
