@terhechte that client idea sounds brilliant to me. If you have some sort of beta list feel free to add me to it 😁.

@terhechte hm you could probably also group by hashtag I suppose?

@terhechte I've been hoping to see something along these lines! Hope you keep working on it and I can try it soon!

@terhechte 🤯 not sure if it’ll work, but super excited to see the experiment in action! I love that the open nature of mastodon can allow wild ideas like this to be explored! 👏

@terhechte looks great!

@terhechte interesting!

@terhechte I love this - we need more experimentation around alternatives to reverse chronological

@terhechte @stroughtonsmith Interesting.

@terhechte so like an RSS Reader!

@terhechte could this be web based like semaphore.social?

@terhechte
This is a cool idea!

@terhechte bold of you to assume I have friends, what if I’m a hermit?

@terhechte I love this idea. When do you think others can play with this idea?

@terhechte Neat idea! Reminds me, how on old phones, SMS was just a chaotic list of messages sorted by date, until Apple sorted them by contact.

@terhechte@mastodon.social this looks awesome and manageable for someone who has small following list 👀

@terhechte love the idea!

@terhechte Order out of chaos? Sounds good to me.🙂🙂🙂

@terhechte That would be interesting, especially if it can track hashtags that I follow too. What are you thinking for replies? I find those more complicated to follow in the classic Twitter/Mastodon style (and don’t get me started on the Slack threading implementation).

@terhechte@mastodon.social I wonder how discussions are handled. Because in the timeline view I can read through conversation involving multiple people happening as they happen. If it's broken into parts and spread across profiles, it might become difficult to follow.

But for everyday browsing of updates from everyone - this is a great way. 👌

@terhechte Great work. Following you so I don't miss your beta.

@terhechte that's amazing!

@terhechte any chance you might release it? I’d be keen to give it a spin.

@terhechte Feels very natural to me, too. Reverse-chronological is at least better than algorithmic popularity-contest, but still prioritizes breaking news and hot takes. For some the ephemerality is the point, but the last thing I need on the internet is more throwaway fluff. Something closer to an RSS feed, but with comments & conversation, is what I really want. iMessage isn’t a bad model at all. Keep it up! See where it leads.

@terhechte cc @atomicpoet you might find this interesting

@terhechte Thats actually pretty cool.. though id probably also want the ability (when desired) to view a standard chronologically ordered timeline .. but grouping them by friend/contact is a pretty novel and great idea.

@terhechte
That is crazy... and I'm signing up as soon as you're open for beta testers.

@terhechte what a great idea! It’s hard to believe text messaging didn’t group by conversation before iMessage. I would love to see what this does to timelines.

@terhechte perhaps choose who or even which conversations or #s do you want as chats and leave the rest in a traditional timeñine…

@terhechte oh no! You figured out the right way to do non algorithmic social media feeds!?!

@terhechte Pinteresting! I’m intrigued

@terhechte ABSOLUTELY. The idea that the timeline of mixed toots is more important than the timeline of your friends/followers timeline (like reading their blog or tumblr)

There is little or no incentive on Mastodon to view anybodies profiles directly.

This is lovely

@terhechte would love to try it. Have you published any part of it?

@terhechte That is pretty cool. I can imagine this evolving in some neat ways.

@terhechte @zacbir love to see experiments like this. bring me ALL THE WEIRD!!!!

social media needs constant reinvention and it was the best part of the first few years of twitter. glad to see it making a comeback.

@terhechte I love it! Pin your favorite people and never miss their updates.

@terhechte This is what I want too! Looks amazing 🙏

@terhechte Can make Telegram like Channels as different timelines.

@terhechte i see you, maniac mansion.

@terhechte I don’t know how it would work on a busy timeline, but I love such an original take using such a familiar
interface! 🤘

@terhechte i really like this. consider me interested. anywhere i can try this experiment out?

@terhechte I think this is also a good UI for lists?

@terhechte pretty awesome idea!

@terhechte Very interesting concept! Is it safe to assume that the left column would be sorted with the friend that posted the latest on top?

@terhechte This looks interesting! Please continue working on this idea!

@terhechte @stroughtonsmith I would definitely keep it on my desktop!

@terhechte
@stopthatgirl7 maybe another app you want to try out? ☺️

@terhechte Such a great idea, I‘m all in!

@terhechte Oooooh! This is the exact thing I want!

@terhechte This looks excellent! Nice work.

@terhechte reminds me of the old RSS reader app: Mr. reader

@terhechte A great idea. Love that you can experiment with these kinds of ideas without fear of anyone shutting you down.

@terhechte Nice Idea for a detail view. 👍🏻 I would miss the time sorted complete overview though. Add a hashtag sorted view to the master view.

@terhechte I would like to try this. Link please?

@terhechte I don't like when two people I follow engage on a conversation and the fragments of it gets mixed up with the rest of the time line. I feel like being in the middle of a room full of people having separated conversations. Would be great if it could also be possible to group threads

@terhechte So much this!! New social media doesn’t just have to parrot the previous era’s formats! I hope all the best for this!

@terhechte I will be happy to help you test it

@terhechte yes please!! When can I try it? 😁

@terhechte your "super basic" looks amazing.

@terhechte Great Idea! Any plans to release it in some form? Would love to try it. Especially on a desktop.

@terhechte fantastic concept

@terhechte
That's also the way Telegram works. I'd actually like to have a Telegram client with a unified timeline, so the other way around :-)
@anderspuck

@terhechte I love this, it also solves the problem of having one person you follow tooting WAY TOO MUCH and drowning out everyone else

@terhechte Looks really good.

@terhechte Will you make it?

@terhechte that is very cool. I could see hashtags being their own distinct channel too.

@terhechte @siracusa On last @atpfm you said that you had different way of consuming content on Twitter. I think this is what you might find useful for Mastodon😉

@terhechte Cool idea, but might bury people who don't post often, and might be overwhelming if you follow a lot of people.

Does it put the person who posted last at the top?

Would it maybe useful to have a "normal" timeline pinned at the top? Or maybe have that as an option?

How does it display hashtags that are followed?

Sorry for the whole inquisition, but the it's definitely worth a look once you feel ready to make it available.

@terhechte never thought about it but it is a really cool idea💡.
Love to see it come reality.

@terhechte interesting idea!

@terhechte That's a really nice idea. Currently it sometimes almost feels like work catching up with all toots after a day without opening the app, so that would help a lot with reading everything that build up in smaller session and also allows for marking some stuff as read, like Newsbots etc.

@terhechte yes! Great idea … would love an ios app / beta tester

@terhechte I would love to give it a try as well :)

@terhechte cool idea!

@terhechte
Interesting idea for sure! 😮

@terhechte Can this sort the entries in the same way as iMessages does, new items at the bottom?

@terhechte This looks really nice. I follow a few mastodon accounts in my feed reader using the RSS functionality, which gives a similar experience. I use it mainly for informative accounts that I want to be able to read at my leisure rather

@terhechte one thing I would love to see again is the second version of the Google+ UI, as it was pretty much perfect. All comment threads were simple and easy to find, the overall layout was just neat and simple. I really miss it.

@terhechte @glennf I wonder what the impact of using this long term would be on the psychology of para-social relationships…

@terhechte interesting idea! Somewhat related idea of mine: http://pepijndevos.nl/twitter-in-your-inbox/index.html

@terhechte Now I see what "innovative" should mean: an iMessage-like social media client that you can use to interact with your followers and followees as if you were messaging with your friends in iMessage. I'm looking forward to seeing how the concept of "group" integrates into this new idea. And it has the potential to end the endless scrolling problem that social media has caused. Good job! Now you have been my “pinned conversation”.

@terhechte nice idea

@terhechte fits a small group of friends & followers, not a really big one. Depends on what you prioritize: Toots for ie. news/topics or What your friends have to say.
There is a difference between microblogging & messaging.

@terhechte machen bitte! 🤗

@terhechte yes, it suppose to be a great idea.
The app is not in AppStore yet?

@terhechte this is amazing. Love the out of the box thinking here.

@terhechte I love this idea!

@terhechte Looks great, can we test? For all the talk of Mastadon clients being the next UI playground this is the first example I’ve seen that actually looks different to a Twitter client.

@terhechte wow i love this.

@terhechte Oh please share when you feel it's ready. Happy to try and I hope it's not going to be for i-things only.

@terhechte love to see a different UI approach, even if I haven’t decided yet if I like it or not. Good stuff on the experiment.

@terhechte interested

@terhechte I like it! Could there be 3 more “people” on the left to represent: your home timeline, your local timeline, and your federated timeline? Or home at the minimum?

@terhechte Fascinating!
Is there a repo, one could contribute?

I had a look in iMessage and am I right?:
The latest posts are most below,
so I can read old to newest top to down
as in normal live.
It would be great if you add that (optionally).

@terhechte Wow, love this idea! Can it be tried somewhere?

@terhechte

cc @Boehler As you use Mac, you could like this idea (not alpha or beta yet)

@terhechte
Great idea. Indeed what annoys me too is to be drowned by the flow of toots I follow. So I regularly unsubscribe (again this morning) from channels I like, because I need to follow certain sources for my site and I waste too much time on the other toots.

@terhechte oh this is really cool! Thanks for building this I’ll need to try it out! (If you’re interested, my company TelemetryDeck is gifting free subscriptions to developers of Fedi apps right now, no strings attached btw)
