Ivory by Tapbots Nov 30, 2022
Hello people of the Fediverse! Some of you may have heard that a new Mastodon client, Ivory,  is in development for iOS (and Mac!). This is true! Tapbots is going all in on Mastodon and we hope this place continues to grow and thrive. Tweetbot will continue to be developed alongside Ivory as a lot of code is shared. A new Mac version of Tweetbot and Ivory are also currently in development and we are working hard on getting those towards a public beta state.

We're currently testing an alpha version of Ivory for iOS. As we continue to make progress we will expand access to it. Just follow this account and @tapbots to hear about it first!

We truly appreciate all the love and support in this community! Here’s an XDR-sized desktop background (wallpaper) to hold you over. 🐘

@ivory @tapbots Hopefully NO Subscription. There you do not have the excuse of the ongoing cost of the api like twitter due its free of charge on mastodon. So I rather want one time payment and hate apps with subscriptions. For tweetbot I made a excuse and understood it with the reason twitter API usage costs. If you will add subscription to Ivory I won't consider it...

@ivory @tapbots @joshuabeny1999 do you want one perfect version and no updates or improvements. Development isn't free you know.

@tapbots @ivory @gilgamesh I know. But I rather pay once and have a great app. Maybe updates fist few years for bug fixes, etc. And then maybe all few years a new version which will be a small fee for upgrade. Like good notes or Affinity.

@ivory @gilgamesh @tapbots Or a Model like Apollo. Essential features like posting are an one time fee for the pro version. If you want theming, more custom icons, notifications (which need servers), and more nice to have feature you could get a subscription. So anyone could decide what he want. Pay once or subscriptions for more nice to have features. there is also a possibility to have the Ultra as one time fee, but which is a rather high price of 4years

@ivory @tapbots @joshuabeny1999 those are much better options. But only proposing a one time payment of a few credits would not be sustainable.
