Hey guys! I’m super excited to announce that I’m now working full-time on bringing Mammoth to market as part of a small startup team.

We’ve got some really cool ideas focused around building a beautiful Mastodon app and making it easier for new users to join Mastodon. As part of that, we are launching the Moth.social server, and when users launch the Mammoth app, we’ll offer them a user-friendly way to create an account on moth.social from within the app itself. Don’t worry, we love the fediverse and if you’re already on a server, that’s great, and you can always use the app that way!

@JPEGuin Love this idea. Hope there is a way we can support the server costs / etc!

@JPEGuin amazing. Is this gonna be iOS only or?

Yes, for now iOS only @Sujiyan @JPEGuin

@mammoth @JPEGuin So no more macOS App, as initially was the plan? 😢
Show threadMiss PurpleDec 23, 2022
@prosumer @mammoth @JPEGuin the app will be for iPhone, iPad and Mac, but will be launched on iOS to start. You can read the announcement Shibab shared in his toot for more information.

@JPEGuin this is a fantastic idea. Making it easier for people to get on and use mastodon is exactly the kind of issue I was hoping third-party app devs would tackle. This is what’s going to make #Mastodon and the #Fediverse work.

@JPEGuin are you planning on targeting android in the future? Or strictly Apple?

@JPEGuin
This is my shocked face that you weren’t yet working full time! Must have been doing a lot of, ummm, long lunches to pull off the speed and quality thus far. Congrats!

Also, ways to support you besides happiness as good wishes?
