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 😀
@terhechte If this is for the Mac desktop and #MacOS then PLEASE don't do that stupiod thing other clients do where they cut off the top and bottom of images and you have to click on the image to see it in full. Either show the full image without the top and bottom chopped off (I realize you may need to reduce the size, that's not what I am talking about) or else reduce it to a thumbnail size so at least you get the advantage of being able to scroll through the timeline faster. But don't do it the way your animated GIF shows, that is one of the big things I hate about some of the other MacOS clients I've tried.
Of course if you don't mean for anyone else to use it but you, then do whatever you prefer. But that is the single biggest reason I refuse to use #Mastonaut anymore, it just drives me right up the wall.
