The new Mastodon desktop browser client Elk.zone is pretty great. I just had to bump the tiny fonts up slightly but I'm really liking the clean Twitter-in-its-design-heyday-back-when-Doug-Bowman-still-worked-there-let's-call-it-2014ish looks
@mathowie This is promising, but I can't really live without my TweetDeck-esque view.
@rands I've never been a fan of columns and tweetdeck, so this is way easier for me
@rands Mastodesk promises this experience (currently in closed Beta https://mastodeck.com)

@ygalanter This looks incredibly promising.
@rands @mathowie mastodon has that out of the box, it’s called the advanced web interface in settings.
@mathowie I've been enjoying pinafore.social, which is more... calming, somehow?
@mendel oh yeah, I used to use that in 2018 when I last was posting on the fediverse.
@mathowie @rands Oh this is neat (and dark mode, yay!). Thanks for sharing!
@mathowie That exclamation mark after “Publish” is like nails on a chalkboard — or, y’know, pick your favorite hellish metaphor — but otherwise this looks really lovely!
@mathowie yes! I'm really enjoying it too.
@mathowie well this is all very nice ✨
@mathowie Thank you, I was looking for something like this!
My first week at Twitter (2014) was Doug's last week. He was super sweet to me, a random designer he knew nothing about.
