🥳 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!

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.

@neiman just FYI, the "Unlisted" setting doesn't make the replies any less visible. they'll still show up on people's timelines, they just won't be searchable.

@noodlejetski good point. I'll update it. Is it the right settings for threads? A few people told me to use it.

@neiman depends on the person's goals and preferences, I guess? as far as I know there's no way of making subsequent posts in a thread *not* show up on people's timelines.

@noodlejetski @neiman unlisted posts don't show on public timelines (local, federated). It is best practice if posting a thread publicly to make only the first post public and the rest unlisted.
