Elk.zone Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Phanpy: A minimalistic opinionated Mastodon web client

  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 / 25 days ago

• Do we think about vector dbs wrong?

  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

• BBC on Mastodon: experimenting with distributed and decentralised social media

  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

• Why are reblog/favourite numbers different between platforms?

  For me, the boost/reply-numbers using https://elk.zone have been much more reliable than the original app. (It's also the (web)app that convinced me. Mastodon is the real deal.). Source: 10 months ago

• New Mastodon for Android release coming next week [...] new profiles, new settings, new search, and more

  Try elk.zone. You can log into the UI with an account from any instance. I use it as my main UI and it looks pretty close to twitter, at least close enough for me. Source: 11 months ago

• What is the best desktop app for Mastodon?

  In the absence of an app, I prefer the Elk web client to the standard Mastodon web interface. Very clean layout, works with multiple accounts, supports Markdown, open source. Source: about 1 year ago

• Mastodon Hit 10M Users

  If you’re after something a bit more like Twitter, try Elk which is an alternative web UI (it works with your existing account): https://elk.zone. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Mastodon Hit 10M Users

  > But the thing is, I just hate the Mastodon UI. It's so clunky. I hope this situation improves once we finish hiring a product designer. Personally I don't think the web client is as bad as some people make it sound, but I know it can be improved. In the interim you can try the 3rd party web client Elk [1], some people seem to really like it. [1]: https://elk.zone. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
