I am focusing on the Pixelfed mobile app refresh before the webUI because most people use the mobile app.

I’m also fixing federation, collections, comment threading, notifications and more!

Patrons and Kickstarter backers will have early access, and I will share updates via Patreon.

I'm rebuilding the Pixelfed mobile app from scratch to leverage a cleaner and more maintainable UI, using native UI components on Android and iOS.

This isn't only about performance, making the app less complex and easier to use and with improved caching and backend error handling will drastically improve the UX.

Not to mention the ability to join or login with a single tap using Sign in with Apple or Google 🚀

You're going to love it ✨
