Ivory for Mastodon VS Elk.zone

> indie-dev-that-does-not-want-to-monetize-friendly Noting is "I need to spend a significunt chunk of my time for no renumeration"-friendly. And yet there are numerous free, or pay-less-than-a-cup-of-coffee clients for many things and services, whether those are open or closed, free or paid (Ivory for Mastodon https://tapbots.com/ivory/ and Wikipedia's app come to mind). Thanks for the tip for Siskin and Monal!... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

For example, the twitter "equivalent" on the fediverse -- mastodon -- recently got the developer of what was widely considered the best twitter client pivoting their work after Twitter's API changes that spez is emulating (see: Ivory). Source: 11 months ago

For iOS, there's Ivory but it's unfortunately not free. Ivory is the one I'm using and it's pretty good. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

I've been very happy with Ivory: https://tapbots.com/ivory/ Every few months I kick a couple bucks to my homeserver (which is currently running a pretty large surplus or I'd do more) and that's the end of it. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

This has lead to a delightful variety of custom clients like https://phanpy.social/ - https://elk.zone/ is another example that I really like. It's the complete opposite of the Twitter API situation, where they locked their API down and killed the entire ecosystem of third-party clients. - Source: Hacker News / 20 days ago

And there are tons of third party clients. I think Tusky is the best one I’ve seen for Android, and there’s an interesting web-based one called Elk that’s very nice. You load up https://elk.zone and then use it as a front-end to sign in to your server. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

The answer to that is https://elk.zone atm, a fun and chef's kiss interface (built with nuxt). You can insert elk.zone/ before any Mastodon url. https://phanpy.social is also great, with multi columns even for lists. A browser plugin (like "Mastodon – Simplified Federation") to follow, favorite, etc. Directly on any server has also improved my experience a lot. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Quick! Tell Obama and Taylor Swift about https://elk.zone! They're going to be so excited! - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

Try https://elk.zone with your exisitng mastodon account, which is precisely that. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
