Do you feel there are not enough Mastodon apps out there?
Fret not, I have a brand new one for you!

You can now try a very early version of Woolly, my new Mastodon client for iOS.

Lots of things are missing and probably broken, but I'd like to start collecting feedback.

@mttvll Really great start so far! I really like the clean interface.

A couple bits of early feedback.

• It wasn’t clear to me when first signing up that the text field above “Sign in” was there, or what I needed to enter into it. I imagine it’s just a temporary affordance until you have an instance picker, but some placeholder text might help.

@mttvll • If the user hasn’t typed anything when composing a reply, consider just closing the sheet without prompting them to discard the post. It’s probably fair to assume they’re not losing anything.

@mttvll • I was surprised to see that the app was in light mode when I started using it, despite my iOS device being in dark mode. I eventually found the switch, but it should probably default to your system setting.

Also, the dark mode could be a little darker, but I realize that may just be my own personal preference.

@mttvll • Another thing that may be particular to me (being color blind), but the color that the reblog indicator turns to indicate something has been reblogged looks very similar whether it is on or off. It’s hard to distinguish.

Ideally, something other than just color should indicate this status.

@mttvll That’s it for now, I think.

Overall, it looks like a great start, and the interface is probably the nicest-looking I’ve seen so far. 👍
