I've had the idea for a weird kind of Twitter client for years. With Mastodon being all open, I've decided to do the experiment:
What if your Timeline looked like iMessage. A normal timeline confuses me to no end because everything is out of context.
My experiment, Ebou, is a Mastodon client that looks like iMessage. Conversations are grouped by friends and sorted by recent postings.
It is super basic right now, but this already feels much more natural to me š
Ok, so.
Tweets look really good when you send them in Messages on iOS/macOS. Mastodon postsā¦ donāt. So I built a little tool that makes them much nicer to look at:
Add ?to={any Mastodon post URL} to the end of that domain and when you send it to a friend, you get the nice looking preview. Of course the page makes it easy to paste a URL in. And thereās a Shortcut to make it even easier on iOS or macOS.

Coming soon?
It seems people still have issues with wireless Time Machine backups. But maybe the switch to SMB in later macOS releases is helping? Doesnāt seem worth it to buy symbology if the reliability is no better than what I have with some usb drives on an old Mac mini as my āNASā.
Many recommend to use wired connection but as far as I can tell thereās no way to disable Time Machine when using Wi-Fi. And a laptop is likely to be wireless sometimes. #askatp
