Over 1000 test slots filled in about 13 seconds. You people are animals. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ™

@ivory hey, at least you know thereโ€™s market demand out there ๐Ÿ˜…

@ivory ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
Seriously, though, this app is amazing. Incredibly well done.

Evan K. Stone

@ivory This animal did not get a slot even though I was rabidly refreshing the TestFlight page, but I'll try to be patient. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Signed,

๐Ÿผ Patient Panda.

@ivory You guys know how to make a quality micro-blogging app and everybody knows it. ๐Ÿ‘

Greg Dzhanelidze

@ivory that's insane! I have no idea how I managed to get in

laspecas

@ivory you guys deserve this. Itโ€™s because of your work you did before with Tweetbot and the reputation you earned with one of the best App Store Apps.
Ivory will be awesome once itโ€™s final and worth every penny. Hope you get many of them ๐Ÿ˜Š

Julien :mastodon:

@ivory What will be the app's business model?
Perpetual license or subscription?

Jesse Saenz

@ivory thereโ€™s always next attempt๐Ÿ˜ฌ

@ivory There is a huge need for a great, still under development, iOS Mastodon App. From many users Tweetbot experience, they are hoping Tapbots will fill that void. From my early testing, it seems like you are on the right track and #Ivory will fill the void.

I am pretty excited about Ivory. Waiting for t-shirts ๐Ÿ˜‰

@ivory so how many thousands of people do we think got to sit there mashing refresh and may or may not have even seen it open?

This method of allocating slots seems to be profoundly mismatched to the task at hand.

Any hope for a waitlist or lottery system that doesn't rely on everyone stampeding for 10 minutes at odd hours of the day?

Mike Byrne

@ivory And Iโ€™m sure there are thousands more who would have signed up but simply missed the moment. Iโ€™m one of them but Iโ€™ll be patient and Iโ€™ll just try to catch the next one.

ThelusMcNeely

@ivory I didn't manage to get one, I had an alarm set and everything. I hope you get to open beta or final release soon. good luck!

George Girton

@ivory Oh, you hadnโ€™t โ€œheardโ€ about Mastodons?๐Ÿธ๐Ÿ™€๐Ÿ˜น

marlies :tblverified:

@ivory i hope this cured you of any concern there wasnโ€™t going to be enough interest in a high-quality iOS client for this niche platform

Timothy (Timmargh)

@ivory I was refreshing literally every couple of seconds and it didnโ€™t change from โ€œThis beta is full.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜•

Botolo

@ivory i am loving it. It gives me back the great feeling I had when using Twitter. One thing Iโ€™d love to see is a feature allowing me to add more servers just to check what people are writing there.

Benjamin Herrin

@ivory You should just put it on the store with no description or images other than:

THIS IS A CHRASHY APP WE DONT RECOMMEND YOU BUY IT YET

Aivars

@ivory oh, release it already. Zero chance to get in beta :(

Brian Grinter

@ivory at this rate, Iโ€™ll just wait for the final product ๐Ÿ˜

Matt Cameron :verified:

@ivory Iโ€™ll be waiting for the next test slots!

V is for...

@ivory I think Iโ€™m becoming more annoyed at the lack of sane way to use and try the app than anything else. Itโ€™s almost putting me off wanting to use it anymore. I get it is under test etc but damn guys.

G Mcdonald

@ivory got it from ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Fahim Farook

@ivory I learnt from the last two times earlier yesterday when I didnโ€™t get a slot and managed to do it right finally ๐Ÿ˜›

I was hoping that I could run the alpha on my M1 Mac but apparently that isnโ€™t the case โ€ฆ But I do have it installed on my iPhone and it looks good.

Havenโ€™t put it through its paces yet (went to sleep immediately after) but it has some of the features I wanted and it looks great ๐Ÿ™‚ Wouldnโ€™t call it an alpha myself โ€ฆ

Lalo Reyes

@ivory some of us are trying to be but apparently we chose slow ones. Haha

Johannes Schneemann

@ivory Iโ€™m one of the animals ๐Ÿ˜„thanks for this alpha and Iโ€™ll provide feedback ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

DarkeSword

@ivory what did you expect? Tweetbotโ€™s been the platinum standard Twitter client for ages. People are looking for that robustness.

DELETED

@ivory How about adding a 1000 more? ๐Ÿ˜€

Alex Wilson

@ivory what leads you to restrict the numbers like this? like, is it a capacity thing? or hype-building? (cruel!) something else?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@alexwilson the sheer number of people emailing and messaging us about wanting features we already plan to do. Our support emails are at a point where itโ€™s unmanageable. ๐Ÿ™‚ and 95% of them are asking the same thing over and over.

Nico Hoffmann เทด.

@ivory would a semi-public issue tracker (for alpha users) be an option? I could then see what bugs already have been reported, if I can add any additional info or not. Right now I spam you with emails of hugs you might or might not yet know :/

EddiKat

@ivory I did not get in on the beta, but I am literally an animal. Check out the profile pic :D

Darth ล ฤŒ! โœž

@ivory @mattmarenic how do you expect me to be faster than 13 seconds? lmao...

It is easier to wait and pay for the app. Unless they will give a special beta to Tweetbot subscribers next.
