We have exciting news to share! šŸš€

Mammothā€™s App Store launch is just around the corner and weā€™ve created a brilliant new build for you that includes a whole new look (with app icon and alt icons), a new onboarding experience (that makes getting onto Mastodon a breeze), and a whole bunch of improvements (that make the app even better).

Thereā€™s now a new TestFlight link (the old one will stop updating, sorry!):
https://testflight.apple.com/join/ejJ70WEq

TestFlight - Apple

Using TestFlight is a great way to help developers test beta versions of their apps.

Oh, one more thing. One of the coolest things in Mammoth is the onboarding flow - native account creation, profile pics, and an incredibly useful follow suggestions graph (no more confusing ā€œWhich server should I pick?ā€ questions) - grab an account on https://moth.social when you get started with the app before your handle is gone!

@JPEGuin weā€™re getting so many nice clients!!! I love the onboarding process here.
Show threadmultigregJan 26, 2023
@JPEGuin is there a way to trigger the onboarding flow after my account is created? I clicked on the verify button in the email on my desktop šŸ«¢
Show threadtanmayJan 26, 2023
@JPEGuin loving it. Facing a scroll related bug where the scrolling abruptly stops the first time on popping the nav. Is there any email for reporting bugs? I couldnā€™t find it in the settings screen of the app.

@JPEGuin Authorization was flaky for me. Had to make several attempts and once the authorization was active from the server side, the app did not recognize that it was authorized and left me at the sign in view. Killed and relaunched and it recognized that it was authorized.
Show threadJay Oā€™ConorJan 26, 2023
@clonezone @JPEGuin Authorization was also flaky for me. I assume an issue on the server side (mastodon.social). Did eventually work but this may be a case where the app needs to be more robust in the face of intermittent server failures. Not at all clear what was happening.
Show threadElliot ShankJan 26, 2023
@joconor @JPEGuin I havenā€™t had this issue with other clients.
Show threadJay Oā€™ConorJan 27, 2023
@clonezone @JPEGuin Yeah, I tried deleting, reinstalling, and going through the auth flow again. Same flakiness. No longer think itā€™s any kind of intermittent server issue.

@JPEGuin nice. The new onboarding is great.

Is the new company for legal reasons, or are you collaborating with more people?

@JPEGuin the onboarding flow is a brilliant innovation. It should be the blueprint for all third party mastodon apps and for the default apps as well.

@arturgomes @JPEGuin Mammoth definitely offers more features, but I'm very used to tweetbots interface and the design is a bit more polished. Both top notch choices tho

@thull @JPEGuin but do we already have the price that mammoth will be at?

@arturgomes @JPEGuin Aviary (from the developer of Mammoth) used to be 2,99 monthly I think. Ivory is 1.99 rn

@thull @JPEGuin yeah but creator says before that mammoth will have a one time payments, which i prefer a lot

@JPEGuin first impression: damn itā€™s smooth and nice. Only thing I immediately noticed is the jumping scroll bar that resizes during scrolling. But scrolling is buttery smooth.

@JPEGuin looking great. Is there any chance of OG Orange going back in as a tint? Too much stuff defaults to blue these days. Blue is the colour of the death of centralised tech from Silicon Valley.

@JPEGuin love it! Using Ivory but plan to grab Mammoth when it fully releases. As long as you allow the original app icon as an option. I like that little guy šŸ„¹
Show threadKee HinckleyJan 26, 2023

@JPEGuin I absolutely love Mammoth. Itā€™s my goto Mammoth client. You can read the timeline up or down, get the post recent posts, or the next batch, or everything...up to you. Multi column support in the iPad works great, and itā€™s available on the Mac (although not, sadly, mine).

The UI is clean. The tabs are configurable. Text size, layout, color, and highlights can all be tweaked). Notifications are completely controllable. You can share posts to other apps as links, text, or images (great for apps that donā€™t do good link preview). Alt text support is good (Iā€™d like a text area for editing instead of a field, but thatā€™s a minor fix). Iā€™ve really enjoyed the beta. Happy to see it so close to release!
