In case you’re not aware - I’m working with the Mastodon team on #DevRel and community 🚀

If you’re building a client on the #MastodonAPI I would love to get connected and help you stay up-to-date. Drop me a line [email protected] and let me know what you’re working on! 🙏🏻

(pls boost for reach / tell the devs of your fave apps)

@andypiper I'm not sure about the future of #DOStodon, but just don't break DOS compatibility in the API and I'm happy 🤣
Show threadAndy PiperJun 14, 2023
@dec_hl do you know what "DOS compatibility" requires? It's such a cool project 😊
Show threadSuperIluJun 14, 2023

@andypiper well, most challenging is to work around unicode (#DOjS and therefore #DOStodon do not support unicode) and to support TLS.
the later is less a problem of the API but more of how the HTTP servers are configured.

Also: media types are problematic. Theoretically I could play back GIF animations, but because these are served as mp4 in Mastodon I can't do anything sensible.
Serving webp or other 'modern' image formats would be problematic as well...

Show threadAndy PiperJun 14, 2023
@dec_hl I mean I'm not aware of anything in the pipeline that would break those workarounds, will try to keep it all in mind.

@andypiper Mammoth for IOS and IPadOS. Mona for Mac. Mammoth is available for Mac, however it’s still very touch oriented.

@andregasser you're very welcome, it's having a big effect on the growth of the ecosystem. Exactly the reason that I prioritised updating the list of libraries -> https://dev.to/andypiper/improving-mastodon-developer-documentation-12cm
