@ivory you’re the best!

@ivory awesome!!

@ivory Ty

@ivory So excited!

@ivory oh thank god! I was so sad I missed the last window!

@ivory I’m ready

@ivory very gracious. I'm curious if you have any plans to disclose numbers?

@ivory Appreciate the second chance! 💜

@ivory The INSANE demand is not your fault, but it’s very generous of you to try and offer people another shot anyway. Cheers!

@ivory bless you

@ivory you’re the best.

@ivory That’s fair … and smart — hopefully, Apple can withstand the onslaught better than your servers 😛

@ivory @mikey Attempt 2? 😂

@ivory I know of the slashdotted and Reddit hug of death.

What is it called when Mastodon DDoses a server by popularity?

@ivory uh oh

@ivory awesome. Thanks! I think because your server got overloaded before activitypub was ever able to capture your toot.

@ivory

@ivory thanks.

@ivory yeah
The post didn’t show up for me for 13 mins and I was a followers
How I get it next try

@ivory thank you! Fingers crossed this time!

@ivory good luck everyone! May the odds be ever in your favor 😂

@ivory Should I boost this? 😈

@ivory YAY!

@ivory is the store up yet? 😁

@ivory gogogo

@ivory So sad, the beta is full even me as an early bird had no chance to parcipate. I am hoping for the next round.

@ivory This is really awesome of you!! Thanks so much!

@ivory POG

@ivory THANK YOU!

@ivory worst eBay bidding ever 😂

@ivory thank you! I wasn't able to see the post with the link till 13 mins after 8 CT. Watching the ⏰ with 🤞🏼

@ivory the mastodon network hit 400,000 toots an hour recently. Coincidental timing with the ivory TF release? 🧐

@ivory This feels like the annual running of @ShmooCon tickets. Standing by, ready to refresh aggressively.

@ivory +1 Thank you! 😁

@ivory you taunt me

@ivory Thank you! Happy to get another chance.

@ivory woo, got in 👏🏻👏🏻

@ivory And I'm in! Thank you!

@ivory Woo! Thanks folks.

@ivory Hell yeah. Thank you 🙏

@ivory WOOOOOOOO

@ivory It’s full😿

@ivory got it this time! Thank you!

@ivory 😭 that lasted all of 5 seconds

@ivory I got in! Thanks!

@ivory HUZZAH, I got in this time. Thanks.

@ivory done, thank you!

@ivory thanks!

@ivory

SWEET VICTORY!!! 💪

@ivory I’m in. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!

@ivory got in! Thanks!

@ivory thanks! I got in and excited to test.

@ivory those must have gone very fast!

@ivory got in, thanks! 😁

@ivory I'm in 😎

@ivory Apple says “not found”

@ivory The sudden silence in the comments seems to suggest that people got in this time. As did I. Thank you! Feels like I’m home.

@ivory Drat. Got to the “accept” screen and it errored out. Next time. 🙁

@ivory damn! Looks like that one filled instantly. I refreshed on the dot (and a every 10 secs after) and it was already full

@ivory Awesome (and fair!) method.
Though I may be biased because I finally got in :)

@ivory nailed it that time! Thanks for offering more seats! 😁

@ivory Thank you for reopening the Test Flight. I’m excited to be able to test Ivory.

@ivory Got a slot this time, thanks for the extra bite at the apple.

@ivory the beta is full 😭

@ivory thank you so much! First post from Ivory, looks amazing so far!

@ivory well that went fast! Y’all broke TestFlight for a minute (I kept getting errors saying “TestFlight is unavailable” when I tried to hit the Accept button and then back to “This Beta is Full” by 11:31

@ivory so close...

@ivory Still says full, did they already fill up?

@ivory If the beta did open up right on time, it went within two refreshes since I never saw anything but "this beta is full" 😛 I kept refreshing between 10:29 and 10:32 and nothing ....

@ivory Thank you! Twitter, App.net… third time’s the charm!

@ivory couldn’t even click accept in TestFlight before they ran out of spots 🥲

@ivory I got in!!! This app might be expensive when it launches :) well done.

@ivory I got in.

@ivory guess I missed this one too. Glad you’re getting your testers though.

@ivory no luck again. I saw the Accept button, but it errored then.

@ivory surely open a couple more spots? 🤞

@ivory Bunmer, missed iut. And the test flight page turned into German!

@ivory login isn’t responding rn for mastodon.social, but I’m in!

@ivory Looks like I'm destined to not be able to get in on this. 😔

@ivory damn, got as far as the TestFlight app and the Open button and then a "TestFlight isn't available now" error 🤦🏻‍♂️

@ivory Oh wow, these are going so fast!! So many dedicated Tapbots customers! So happy you’re getting such a great response. So sad for me for missing out! 🤣

@ivory DAMN! missed out!

Funny thing is I spend my whole day pushing releases out to Testflight so a bit weird being on the receiving end of failed downloads :)

Hopefully I'll get in on one of the next rounds. I'm liking Mastodon so would be good to get a great client

@ivory Despite refreshing constantly it never changed from “This beta is full.” for me ☹️

@ivory I need to accept that I’m just not going to get access to this alpha. 😅

@ivory aw yes

@ivory Dang, missed this until now because I was working like a chump. 😆

@ivory Well, that escalated quickly. I tried right at 10:30PM CST and all slots were gone. On mastodon.social we still don’t see your most recent posts. I had to look directly at tapbots.social to see them. The federation delay seems to be a problem.

@ivory missed this by 10 minutes 😭

@ivory wow that filled up almost instantly! glad to see all this interest though.

@ivory oh man the link was broken because the last “)” got added to it and once I realized the beta was full again.

@ivory 😭

I keep missing these signup windows by minutes. Brutal.

@ivory what time shall we try again in the morning? 🤗🥴

@ivory well I missed this message. If only I had access to a good mobile client for notifications on iOS.

@ivory So here’s the deal. Demand is high. Your “alpha” is reportedly the highest quality product around. In truth I don’t want in on your alpha. I want to give you money. Let tonight be a lesson. It’s time to ship an MVP. I trust tappots to iterate forward. But the time has come to let people give you money. I know it’s not ready. Mastadon isn’t ready either, but we have to start with what we have ready. Take my money.

@ivory woke up early, like 5am early (European here) to this surprise and got my spot. Thanks! 🥲

@ivory i think i’m just not meant to get into the beta since i can never seem to be quick enough

@ivory incessantly refreshing your instance page? It’s me. Hi, I’m the problem, it’s me.

@ivory CRAAAAAP. I was putting my kid to bed and missed it!

@ivory when is next tomorrow morning,?
