For those who mourn @nolan's years-ahead-of-its-time https://pinafore.social, consider this a recommendation for @lilPWA's excellent https://coho.place Mastodon client

An alternative web client for Mastodon, focused on speed and simplicity.

ohhhhh... I like the desktop client, how come it is prompting me to download an app on mobile?
That would be the PWA install prompt! No need to install if you don't want to, works totally fine in the browser
@lilPWA Hrm, logging in on mobile bounced me to a Play entry; intended?

@lilPWA Still happening for me, but will try again tomorrow
Thank you Alex!!!! More updates coming soon too once I get some more time

@lilPWA @slightlyoff heya, this was mainly a joke to fit Alex’s Safari crusade. Not to worry! :)

I’m on latest iOS 18 (i know).

@slightlyoff @nolan @lilPWA pinafore is dead?

@slightlyoff @nolan @lilPWA these things should just say how they're different from the official client - I didn't have the spoons to try to figure it out
