If I hit 10k followers we’ll open up another set of TestFlight sometime in the next few days. If I don’t, I’ll still open them up but I’ll be sad.
Alright 10k+ I’m totally going to do what I was already going to do. Just need to finish putting up these stupid shelves, implement a UI for a new setting and setup our new server.
Update the shelves are up.
Update UI thingy done. Now time for … sleep.
@paul one step closer to Ivory for me!
@paul I’ve never been so excited for shelves to be installed 😄
@paul I dunno, they seem crooked. Best to take them down and do them over again.
@paul never thought I’d be so excited to hear news like this.
@paul eagerly waiting for steps 2) “implement a UI for a new setting” and 3) “setup (y)our new server”!
@paul Hooray, home improvement! I assembled a bed for the kid this weekend 
@numist @paul oh boy, "big kid bed" time is a Big Deal! :)
@paul that's' good — it's the time for building furniture
@paul is there a TestFlight for those too?
@paul Is it full again or am I just missing it somehow?
@paul super excited about Ivory!
@paul I can’t wait! And I was wondering if you had way too solve the whole can’t view someone’s followers if they are on a different server than you?
@paul Hope i can enter this time 🙌🏾
@paul so tonight? Should I stay up and wait? 😝
@paul So I should stay awake?
@paul any chance you can do it at a different time so users in other time zones can get in on the Ivory TestFlight goodness?
@paul Maybe give us a date/time so that everyone can get all their devices ready to grab the Ivory beta ticket
@paul waiting for the day that “putting up shelves” becomes a coding term for some new platform/toolkit 😹
@paul paul at me when you do please!!!

@paul That’s evil. Boosting will reduce our chances of getting a spot!! LOL

* I still boosted your post *

@paul Any rough ETA on general release? Would be so much easier to convince people to switch with a good client

@paul hopefully I can get in this time.
@paul I’m squealing inside.
@paul Why do the numbers look so different for me?
@hagedose68 “waves hands” federation.
@hagedose68
@paul There must be people following from instances that your instance doesn't yet know about.
@steve @paul I would've thought the numbers come from the instance hosting the profile, not from mine. But I guess that's not true?
@hagedose68 @paul The numbers come from the instance hosting the page you're looking at.
@paul refreshing this site each minute for that TestFlight invite :)
@paul i so want to be in the beta so bad
@paul guess I’ll check Mastodon every 5 mins as long as I’m awake from now on. 😂
@paul What’s necessary to qualify? I’d love to be in a test group.
@paul This is gonna happen while I’m road-tripping and I’ll miss my slot, isn’t it?
@paul oooh can I haz pleazeee?
@paul How can we make sure we get in on the Ivory TestFlight?
@paul You don’t know how much I’d pay for an invite.
@paul Talbots entering the Mastodon dojo will be a watershed. Your investment so far seems quite worthy. I hope the endeavor is fiscally rewarded.
@paul nice. You should post the news of additional TF openings first here. Seems appropriate.
@paul I think I just kicked you over
