 As some of you may have heard, Tweetbot is currently unable to authenticate with Twitter which currently has a huge impact on our business. Only mentioning this because we are going to be busy putting out fires and trying to get Ivory on the App Store ASAP. So it will be harder to answer your questions. However you can read our current roadmap for Ivory here: https://tapbots.com/ivory/ Also, here are 1000 more testflight openings for now. Thanks for all of your support! 🙏 @ivory I finally got in! Wow, this app is beautiful (of course). Nice work. @ivory a difficult new users may have is getting ivory and don’t knowing how to use mastodon, how about having a welcome screen explaining the basic and maybe a suggestion list of server to create a account? @eudes onboarding hasn’t been touched since it was for twitter. It will all change. This is an alpha. 🙃 @ivory this alpha is so good, that I keep forgetting this detail, good job guys 👍🏻 Since Twitter isn’t allowing third party apps, some persons asked me about mastodon and they get confused on the server part, I’m using a friend server (that’s on his living room or office) and cannot recommend it because isn’t open to the public. Would be nice having some suggestions servers for new users 😉 @ivory Drat. Missed it in the few seconds it took to download TestFlight. Oh well. I’d told myself I would wait for full release anyway. 🙂 @ivory Looking forward to throwing money your way for Ivory. My alpha experience has been nothing but stellar. @ivory really happy for all the work you’ve been doing, and can only hope for better times ahead as Ivory gets closer to launch. @ivory I’ll be happy to prepay Ivory if it helps you guys stay afloat after the stunt the Twat-in-chief probably pulled today. Keep up the great work 🤞🏼 @ivory ah missed to get in. Again. Keep up the great work, I can‘t wait to buy your app. I truly started using Twitter thanks to Tweetbot and I hope I‘ll do the same thing with Mastadon. #LongLiveTheFediverse @ivory It’s just unbelievable what Twitter is doing…so sorry for you! Keep up the great work 💜  @ivory 28 mins and the invites are gone. I will happily pay for the new app the second it comes out  @ivory Thank you so much for making Ivory! Tweetbot is one of my favorite apps, I am sure Ivory will be just as great. Happy coding!  @ivory @JamesGleick Damn! I don’t think i would ever win this race to snag a TestFlight opening. But the 1.0 should be coming soon anyway. :) @ivory Let me in! I use mastodon every day! :’( I’m guessing Twitter is planning on releasing their own paid app, and are pushing out everyone else? Sounds like a musk thing. @ivory considering Ivory is already the best client I’ve used so far out there - any PayPal address or something to throw some coffee money your way, especially now that Twitter is acting up? @ivory I’m done with Twitter if Tweetbot stops working indefinitely. Once Ivory is available I’ll happily purchase it. Thanks for the hard work! I will renew my Tweetbot subscription regardless and buy / subscribe to Ivory once released. Keep up the good work! @ivory the tool icon on the authentication screen still works, so I renewed my subscription. I don’t care if it doesn’t work. And I’ll subscribe to Ivory the second it’s available! @ivory To anyone in this thread who knows: Is there a macOS app available on TestFlight as well? I got in on iOS a while ago, but I've seen mentions of macOS on the page and it's always full by the time I try again.  @ivory this is *extremely* good news. Tweetbot was literally the only thing that made Twitter manageable for me, so I’m exited to have this on the horizon!   @ivory having a job means I never see these in time. Any chance you’ll do a queue or pre-orders? I really want to get back to the early days of Tweetnot where you were focused on adding features & not dealing with sabotage from the platform owner. @ivory you’re gonna get a lot of additional Ivory purchases if Twitter is really pulling the plug. Hang in there! @ivory one request I would have is a ‘notifications’ tab that shows favorites + replies, like Meta does (and Twitter’s own iOS app, which is why I kept using it) @ivory I’m really looking forward to this. Two feature questions: 1)will your app be able to replicate the unread count indicator as you do with Twitter (or does the federated nature or Mastodon pose problems for this)? and 2) will the “read” position sync between iPhone and iPad instances? In any case best of luck and I’m ready to purchase whatever you do on this. @ivory Looks like I’m late to the IOS testflight Hoping you’ll keep me in mind the next time there’s room. @ivory I hope you are able to get TweetBot up and running again! Though I’m in no rush to return to Twitter, I wish your core business no ill effects. And, I’ll do my small part once Ivory is on the AppStore @ivory Terrible it stopped working. Was there any announcement or maybe something is just down? I’m not going to be able to get used to the normal client, been using Tweetbot since the start. I’m not anti Twitter or something, I use both and still follow people there that are not on Mastodon. This kind of irritates me if it’s permanent. Good luck with Ivory, hope to be able to buy it soon!  @ivory I’m unable to count the times I hit Tweetbot today. You’re in my muscle memory after all these years of use. Now make the same thing happen with Ivory (take your time, I’m patient. Not!) @ivory Thank you! Happy I can use the Alpha now, and it already looks amazing. Keep up your great work! @ivory Even though there’s obviously still lots to do, I’d already be willing to pay the same subscription price for Ivory as Tweetbot to support the continuing development. @ivory aaaargh, dammit, I always miss these when you post them. Can’t wait to pay you money for Ivory!! @ivory Don't suppose there's some kind of a queue for existing Tweetbot subscribers to get into the Ivory beta?  @ivory my tweetbot annual subscription got renewed yesterday 😅. Happy to pay for Ivory, though  @ivory seeing how this is almost the ONLY usable mastodon client out there I will gladly throw some money your way as soon as the app launches on the app store. thanks for doing this  |
