@MonaApp Any chance of opening these beta builds to a wider audience?

I’m already a tester, but it’s excruciating hearing so much talk about other Mastodon clients knowing Mona is just as good and so few people even know it exists.

Giving access to at least a few higher-profile users ( @gruber, @marcoarment, @siracusa, etc. ) at the very least might create a lot of interest.

@gruber @jeff @MonaApp @marcoarment @siracusa I just checked their App Store link on their profile and they’re still selling Spring for Twitter even though it won’t work.

Spring does still work - with one’s own dev account. (For now.)

@jeff Thanks for the suggestion. I will think about it.

@MonaApp @jeff Would be definitely worth it to open it more – your app is already top notch and definitely doesn't have to hide behind a beta status of another app! Thanks for your work. ❤️

@MonaApp would it be possible to add content descriptions to audio and video uploads as well? I am creating a test post and would like to include the transcript as content description
Show threadMona appFeb 2, 2023
@jakobrosin I’m not sure if it’s supported by Mastodon. Will check it later.
Show threadJakob RosinFeb 2, 2023
@MonaApp should be possible, at least description is a valid attribute here. Also, the web based client semaphore can successfully add descriptions to audio content: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/MediaAttachment/
MediaAttachment - Mastodon documentation

Represents a file or media attachment that can be added to a status.

Show threadTrenton MatthewsFeb 2, 2023

@MonaApp I’m guessing audio file attaching will only come to the IOS/IPadOS version?
Hoefully it comes to the Mac one in due time.
I’m patient.

Fantastic work though!

@queenslight It’s on the latest Mac version as well. If Mona didn’t prompt you to update, you can download it from the About page of the Spring app.

@MonaApp I’d like to be able to have content warnings auto expand (i.e., really have no effect). There seems to be a setting for that, but it has no effect as far as I can tell. Also, if I unfollow someone in mona, it does not seem to actually unfollow.

@MonaApp Mastodon上没有字数限制，很多帖子字数巨多巨长，常常有被刷屏的感觉。建议考虑增加一个功能：自动把超过140字的内容缩起，需要手动按一下展开，才会显示余下内容。这样时间线上就会清爽整洁很多。
