Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

We are going to post access to our alpha tonight and then again tomorrow morning, our time (CST UTC-6), so it’s fair for people around the world.

Vote for tonight’s time and the winner will be when we post a new TestFlight link. Remember, these are UTC-6 times.

@ivory that is a really reall nice approach! @mike look at this 😀

Robert Petersen 🇺🇸

@ivory 9 or 10 central seems fair, not too crazy late for EST people, but does end up being quite late in Europe, but since you’re going to do a second round tomorrow morning should work out for them then.

Nate Barham

@ivory I have literally been staring at Mastodon all day since 6:00am my time waiting for this... I don’t think it’s healthy. 😆😂🤣

Steven Feldman

@ivory that's 2am to 5am GMT, not very european friendly 😙

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@stevenfeldman that’s why we will open more spots in the morning (for us). We will announce the time ahead of time as well. 🙂

PhilipKing

@ivory @stevenfeldman Why not announce times in UTC so people can easily work out when that will be in their local time? It’s sort of the point of UTC

Rob

@ivory 11pm getting a lot of love. Is it a strategic move by west coast peeps to try and make sure the east coast competition is asleep? 😂

Matt Wilcox

@ivory Wait. "tonight"? It's already 7:40pm here in UTC land. So it's ... 3:40pm for you? So...8pm = 2am in the future, so your slots are between 2am and 5am UTC?

Michael Latman

@ivory feature request: support discord style timestamps for displaying times to users in their local timezones. Can’t wait to try Ivory!

@ivory none of these times work particularly well for people in EU 😭 I’ll try to get up early for the 11PM slot!

Adam Gessaman :vcoffee:

@ivory I’m so excited, but my Ticketmaster-induced PTSD/FOMO is 📈 📈 📈. 😬

WowSuchCyber

@ivory have you seen that @tootapp is the nº1 paid app in social media on Apple App Store?

Mike Beasley

@ivory please add a confirmation to votes since they can’t be changed. i accidentally voted in this trying to swipe to boost 😬

Tae Kim

@ivory tell me demand is off the charts without telling me demand is off the charts

Daniel Andrews

@ivory only twitter blue subscribers should be able to vote in this poll.

Chris Martin

@ivory Now I can get some work done instead of jumping every time there’s a notification 😅

Alex Heath

I’ve been on the beta for this and it’s great, especially if you used or still use Tweetbot. Feel like this will be the third party client that takes off.

Sebastian Niesen

@ivory Though I‘d love to have access to the alpha, I won‘t vote, given the amount of people that have already voted. I‘ll simply wait for the open beta or the point where I can give you money. Remember: release early, release often! Can’t wait to use Ivory myself one day.

Eshu Marneedi

@ivory 8 PM CST would be fair. Good time for America, just a little past midnight for Europe and almost the morning for Australia.

kuldar

@ivory Didn't even care to look up timezones, just voted for "ASAP AS POSSIBLE PLS"

Alex

@ivory 8 but even then it’s 2am here 😂

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@xAD we will do this again in the morning our time. Should be the afternoon/evening in Europe. 🙂

Alex

@ivory I’ll try and make sure I’m awake! 🥹🥹

BoxOfRain

@ivory
Love this approach.
A heads up for the morning time (I’m in UTC) would be much appreciated.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@boxofrain we will give you a heads up in the morning as well. 🙂

BoxOfRain

@ivory
Got in this time. 😊

Let’s have a look around…

Kornel :mastodon:

@ivory being in Europe, needed to vote for 11 PM, it’s going to be 6 AM here 🙄 😁

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@niloque we will do this again in the morning which should be the afternoon/evening in Europe. 🙂

Kornel :mastodon:

@ivory depends when exactly, if late afternoon in Europe, I might not be that available to spot the notification in time 😉

Scott Wright 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

@ivory This is my version of trying to buy Taylor Swift tickets.

Michael Xander

@ivory Looking forward to the slot tomorrow morning then. Very helpful that you announce the time, thanks!

Julester 🌎

@ivory I want plz, haven’t fought this hard for a slot since trying to buy #BTS tickets

Max Leibman

@ivory That sounds completely fair, as long as I get in this time. 🤞

Mike Taffet

@ivory I heard only people with Twitter blue accounts will be able to vote on these policy decisions in the future.

Matt Maber :artcam:

@ivory I’ve no idea how this relates to Europe and GMT but I voted. I can’t do numbers and googling this hurts my head.

Scott Wright 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

@ivory Also, can I just say, if Oprah was running this poll, she'd be like "Everyone who has voted, boosted, or replied please check your DMs"

wennefer

@ivory none of these times are really friendly for Europe, picking a different time for tomorrow to accommodate would be good.

Dario Roa

@ivory For those in Europe: 11pm is the slot we want, (provided you're willing to wake up at 6 Spain Time 😉)

Will Hook :clippy:

@ivory “no Europeans please” since that’s like 2am to 5am in the UK. 🤨

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@williamtm the post says we will be doing this again in the morning which means afternoon, evening in Europe. 🙃

Rob van Bakel

@ivory from the EU thanks for posting again next morning 🤞wish me luck

Bram Schulting

@ivory @mark @paul will there be a vote/estimate for the “tomorrow morning” time?

Noah J. Nelson aka NoProNoah

@ivory Long time (decade-plus?) Tweetbot user here: I’m desperate to be part of the alpha, the beta, hell the gamma.

Inuk

@ivory I'm not awake at any of these times, so I'll have to sit this one out

Denis

@ivory Yeah, all those times are the middle of the night here in Europe. I’ll wait for the second wave and hope I’m not at work.

Azrael :verified:

@ivory I’m seeing this right that’s 8pm cst?

Hash Milhan

@ivory lol that’s like betwee 2am and 5am in the UK 🙃

Botolo

@ivory oh man, it's going to be brutal later today!

Radu C. Martin

@ivory just set an alarm for 3AM lets gooooo

philoup

@ivory @Malik 03:00 für MEZ. Das ist doch genau deine Zeit 😜🤞

David Davies-Payne

@ivory
Feels like getting #WWDC tickets in 2013 (the "Can't innovate anymore, my🐴" year).

Rob

@ivory Would love to try it out and compare it with the iOS Mastodon client competition (eg Tooot, Mastoot, Toot, Woolly, Tusker, Mammoth and Tootoise) and add it to the comparison GDoc sheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d

Warren Buckley

@ivory aww as much as I love your work TapBots crew. Not sure I am gonna be up at 2AM to grab the TestFlight link. Any chance for EU friendly times or if I ask very very nicely you might let me have an invite 🥰

Merkaba :arch: :kdenew:

@ivory I’ll have to wait for the next slot of times. 4am in South Africa is a tiny bit too early for me to be awake 😅

Alan Harper

@ivory @paul any chance in some extra access for folks who are already paying for tweetbot?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

8pm, UTC-6 it is! Don’t worry if you are asleep during this time. We will do this again tomorrow morning when it is afternoon/evening in Europe (as stated in the previous post). 🙂

Susan :potion_lesbian:

@ivory ah brill. That’s 2am for me so I’ll wait for the Europe time zone 🙈 thanks for letting us know!

Henry Cole

@ivory I’ll be poised and ready for tomorrow evenings in the UK 😉

Matt Wilcox

@ivory Cheers - guess who mis-read the previous post and needs some sleep?

This person.

bitomule

@ivory any reference on how many slots you will open?

Eshu Marneedi

@ivory I’m about to be more prepared for this than I am for iPhone preorders

Mark Davis :ve:

@ivory Hopefully my weekly trivia night doesn't run late because there's a strict no phone policy 😅

heavyboots

@ivory Big thanks for the timed drop! Helps a lot!

Sean C.

@ivory getting to test is all i want for this holiday

Stuart McIntyre

@ivory that’s great, thank for letting us know

MΛTT

@ivory thank you for mixing up the link posting times!

frois :verified:

@ivory but which time exactly? I’m from Brazil 😁

Philip Mallegol-Hansen

@ivory Excited to see what you all have been up to. I’m sure you’ll bring excellent craftsmanship to this platform as well.

Alex Rainert

@ivory I feel like the degree to which I’m struggling to figure out what times these are for EST means I don’t deserve beta access.

U+7A7A

@ivory I missed the 8pm one and its complimentary again. (My brain messed with the timezone.) When will the morning one start? :aaaa:

Florian Fittschen

@freiwald looks like we might get another chance in a couple of hours 😄

Jonathan Ruiz

@ivory thank you for doing it like this knowing ahead of time helps so much!

JValente

@ivory been waiting for this for so long. Can’t miss it.

DELETED

@ivory legitimately excited and hope to try it out

Till Krüss

@ivory the beta has been pretty flawless. I’d gladly start paying for it.
