Feels like a milestone: I don’t think I’ve changed an app in my iPhone dock since we turned off the lights on Vesper.

@gruber how long has it been since you went though that inbox? 😂

Eric Leamen

@gruber Welcome to the club! Glad you are embracing Mastodon.

Martin Thomas

@gruber Shame Tweetbot is currently offline … but very impressed with @ivory so far!

Emergency Sarcasm Hologram

@gruber Email no 13,497 is a very important message from a Nigerian Prince you should definitely read.

David Collantes

@WeatherServo9 @gruber And the one after is from the Prince’s widow (he died right after sending the email). That one might even be more important, as very rich widows are known to be quite charitable.

Christopher Cary

@gruber I see I’m not the only one doing it today! 🥲

ahakim

@gruber I would never have guessed you're a "leave unread messages in my inbox" person.

Fast Ghost

@gruber haven’t tried Ivory yet, but Mammoth is worth keeping an eye on. Been using the beta and it’s a lot like Tweetbot.

Jared White

@FastGhost @gruber I've been using Mammoth for a while now, and I like it, but it's been pretty buggy in various ways and it keeps changing in which ways it's buggy. 😅 Too early to tell if Ivory is buggy or not (just got in the TestFlight), but so far so good.

Marco :prami:

@jaredwhite for me it‘s absolute stable since the beginning; a few things missing but rock solid

Luca Campelo

@FastGhost @gruber I consider Mammoth third best, behind Ivory and Mona (no particular order on these two, depends on one’s priorities)

Ragashingo

@gruber Yep. Just did the same a few minutes ago!

Peter Stuart

@gruber the end of an era. I still have it in my dock, but I’ll have to move it sooner or later. Can’t wait for Ivory, I keep missing the test flight spots.

Is DF a on Mastodon yet? That would sure help me cut myself off from the bird app.

Beast of Bourbon 💖💜💙🧊🥃

@gruber ooh, how is ivory working out for you? I know it’s still in TestFlight, but I’m curious to hear about it. I love TapBots, and want them to nail this.

CtBk

@Jen_Lee I’ve installed it on both iPad and iPhone today and I’m very impressed so far.

Claas

@gruber this is the first post I see after doing exactly the same switch in my dock from Tweetbot to Ivory.

SocProf

@gruber The number of unread emails is giving me anxiety.

Christopher Mackay 🇨🇦

@gruber you’re just trolling us all with that “15,836”-badged Mail.app. ;)

json t

@gruber that Mail badge number makes my eye twitch.

Daniel

@gruber yeah, it’s not coming back. He thinks we are gonna use the official client but we are moving on

Rui Carmo

@gruber Yeah, it’s weird, but then again things are so very different over here the change feels natural after a while.

Colin

@gruber black Slack icon, a man of taste

Sean Harding

@colin @gruber This made me realize, I don’t think I’ve _ever_ changed my dock. At least, not that I can remember. At some point “iPod” became “Music” but that was obviously not my doing. Kind of funny now that I think of it, because I virtually never use Phone. I’m just used to stuff where it is I guess…

Sean Harding

@colin @gruber oops that cropped poorly. I wish there was a way to edit that without starting over.

Casey Liss

@colin @gruber Let’s talk about the utility of that badge on Mail.app though…

DKMJ

@gruber did the same a few minutes ago. Bye bye Tweetbot

Simon B. Støvring

@gruber Oh boy, I miss Vesper. It was the first and only notes app for the iPhone I ever truly enjoyed. It felt like it was built for me.

キャリイ

@gruber This is the opposite of Inbox Zero

Ian Phillips

@gruber that Mail icon should come with a trigger warning 😬

Pierre-Luc Gagné

@gruber I’m not that surprised that your inbox is not tidy but I am flummoxed as to why you haven’t turned off the unread count.

Awax

@gruber i did EXACTLY the same thing today

galonsky

@gruber how do you plan to follow all the non tech nerd people that won’t be on mastodon? That’s the main reason keeping me on Twitter, even if I have to use the official app…

xakan

@gruber how do you do to have 15k unread emails? 🤣

𝐑𝐚𝐩𝐡

@gruber I think you never opened your mails during this time too.

Rob Mathers

@gruber did exactly the same today. Lucked out in my timing getting on the Beta too.

Jozef Kozar :verified: 🇺🇦

@ivory @esamecar @Izzod Hi, how can I get the @ivory installed? I cannot find it in the AppStore …

Jozef Kozar :verified: 🇺🇦

@esamecar @ivory @Izzod I can see now, sorry for asking 🙃 It is a beta testing. I will wait until it is in the AppStore. Thanks anyway!

Marco :prami:

@drjozefkozar no problem! just follow their account, sometimes they announce new beta slots

Luca Campelo

@Izzod @gruber Ivory! (From the same developers of Tweetbot). It’s still in beta, to be launched soon.

Marco :prami:

@gruber Some days ago I’ve changed one of my apps in the Dock for the first time ever.
And BTW maybe today is the day trying to achieve inbox zero? 🤣

Scott Yoshinaga

@gruber Glad to see you have as much unread email as I do.

rstevens 🐳💨✅

@kimonostereo ARGH I KEEP MISSING IVORY because i rely on tweetbot for notifications

Scott Yoshinaga

@rstevens click that bell icon on their profile in Mastodon and you’ll get notified when they toot! They don’t toot much except for new TestFlight openings.

Kellan

@gruber this screenshot just reminded me how much I wish the “dock” could be two rows high instead of one.

Rob In der Maur

@icecubesapp is pretty good as a client as well.

Netti

@gruber how the f* can you live with +50k unread emails?!
Can’t you just turn off the counter, since you’ve clearly lost any control over your inbox anyway? 😱🙈

Leo Aranda

@gruber I did the same, just with Mastodon, only because I have no @ivory access yet. This really was the thing that made drop Twitter.

Dan Morgan :ksu:

@vmstan @gruber That badge count gives me anxiety. John, you’re a monster. Let me introduce you Mr. Mann and his revolutionary “Inbox Zero”. (Hey, BTW, when is Merlin’s next appearance?)

Dag Øien

@gruber Twitter is dead to me now. Tweetbot always was Twitter to me.

Andrew Briscoe

@gruber I did the same this morning. End of an era.

Jochen Marschall

@gruber Since social media dries up a bit, we are finally all gonna go read our emails!
I turned my email count on the icon off. Who cares at this point anyway?

Jack

@chockenberry @marcoarment @gruber definitely left that in the screenshot as bait 😂

DELETED

@chockenberry @marcoarment @gruber The large numerical value of the notification badge is part of the homescreen aesthetic.

Stephen Collins

@marcoarment @gruber Tweetbot is broken and I got an Ivory install. There is no reason to go back now. At all.

Long Tong

@marcoarment @gruber Just need DF/Dithering Fedi accounts now.

David Cook

@gruber the gravity of your inbox is warping your Springboard
