🥳 Announcing Splinter, your #fediverse tool for creating #Mastodon threads.

Splinter is a simple, self-explanatory app. It's a fun, non-profit, open-source side project.

I use Splinter all the time myself now; There must be others who need it. Please share to help them find it!

@neiman this is really awesome (and cute)

EDIT: ok i need a lot more coffee today and cannot read apparently, sorry sorry

my instance has a 5k char limit, but I still think the threaded form has a lot of benefits for readability and shareability (if I'm making multiple points they can be nicely split into multiple posts and I can make posts that work by themselves mid-thread and boost them, etc)

it would be great if this had a way to set a custom char limit and even better if it let me split wherever I like (maybe with some magic syntax?). Then I can write out the entire thread and proof read it before posting

Key features: 👉️ Smart post splitting, avoiding breaking paragraphs or words, 👉️ Manual control of post breaks using the "=====" symbol, 👉️ A new "Thread" exposure mode: first post is public, the rest are unlisted to avoid spam, 👉️ Live preview, 👉️ Which other feature do you want? I'm not a professional developer, so feedback is welcome! Negative as well, that's how you study. Source code: https://codeberg.org/neiman/splinter (2/2)

@hipsterelectron @neiman I refine to critique to "this feature should be explained on the website itself"
@cas @hipsterelectron yes, you're right. I'm thinking how to make it clearer:)
