Hello Friends,

Wanted to make a note that our current roadmap is on our website: tapbots.com/ivory/#roadmap

We are a small company of 3 people and only 1 of us replies on this account. Between all the emails and messages here, it's hard to always answer everyone, but we do our best. If your question doesn't get answered here, it's not because we don't care. It's just impossible to always be around to answer everyone. Feel free to send us an email if you don’t get a response here. Thank you! 🙂

@ivory hey!! Is there any way to implement a tap and hold follow to follow from a different one of your accounts? Like you can boost from an alternative account…. Thanks for the fantastic work so far though <3

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@Yksi That one is a bit trickier and we will figure it out in the future.

Yksi

@ivory oooo thank you! Good to know it’s one on the list! 💜

Salem Sayed

@ivory oh I see QT added to the road map 😍

Pratik Mhatre

@ivory Thank you for the update. Any news on the Mac app?

Sid :mw:

@ivory thank you for an already awesome app👏🏻👏🏻

Skoop (Stefan Koopmanschap)

@ivory any chance of getting language selection in our toot compose screen soon so we can correctly mark the language of a toot?

Skoop (Stefan Koopmanschap)

@ivory I'll wait patiently. It's a feature I'm really missing, posting both in English and Dutch

DELETED

@ivory Thank you for all your hard work. I am loving #Ivory. I even love the dick and balls share icon. I hope my observation of it will never result in you changing it. It is perfect. We need more toots, dicks and balls, more laughter and less taking every damn thing in this world to offense. We love you.

Jason Rutherford

@ivory I can never seem to get search results for any of my searches.

Richard Diaz

@ivory I know quote post was barely added to the roadmap, but that feels like the one feature that would be most impactful in the short term, as people carry the behavior on Mastodon, and other clients start adopting it.

Thank you for your work!

Daniel Ethier

@ivory I've been enjoying Ivory for about a week. Just did the subscription. Keep up the great work!

Bushwhack

@ivory your notification system in app is 🔥

D Fletcher

@ivory I’m excited for the ability to browse other instances 💙

Chris

@ivory Could a link to this be added to the Support page in app so this is easier to find?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@lindhartsen We might forget to update the roadmap if it's there. 😅 But we pinned it to our profile as well.

CallMeMrH_

@ivory can’t wait for the edit post to go live and thanks for keeping people in the loop

Keith Hepler

@ivory I just use a diff app for the things I’m not able to do on here yet…can’t wait to have everything on here so I don’t have to swap back and forth! 🍻

mapu

@ivory thank you for all your hard work.

Mark Bober

@ivory Love you guys. Would definitely love more discovery features. Not sure who to follow or what’s “trending”!

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@markbober Yup we have a lot of that mapped out and designed already. 🙂

David Senate

@ivory Just what I was looking for. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Lady Di

@ivory @mark @paul @todd ☕️ Good morning guys! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. #Ivory 😊🐘💕

Jared

@ivory You’re doing great! Absolutely love v1.0 and can’t wait to see where it goes in the future!

ProgGrrl

@ivory

🍾 on the release!

Very sympathetic to your situation… When the place I work for put out its app in beta and invited just the other departments staff to comment, it took them months to integrate all the notes and fixes.

Just so glad you guys are in the IndieWeb frey over here with us.

Adam Chamberlin

@ivory thank you for all the work so far and all the best for future development 👌

' Suppress duplicate boosted posts' 🥳

Pavel Repin

@ivory I’m not sure yet if I’ll use Mastodon as frequently as I used Twitter, but I’m really thankful to Tapbots for all that years with Tweetbot. So I took a yearly Ivory subscription. Hope, you guys will be able to stay in business 🙏

TransitBiker

@ivory Then I won’t be here when that is added. Can’t tell you how many times abusive people have used quote tweets to target me. I’m not going to stick around for it here. Good luck on all the rest though. 👍

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@TransitBiker But people can do that (and do) already even without it being an official feature. You just copy a link to a post, create a new post, paste and add commentary. Anyone with ill-intentions will take the effort regardless of tools available.

Jesse Sadler

@ivory Thanks for this. The last couple of weeks must have been crazy. I hope you all get a chance to breath and relax a bit.

udondan

@ivory Haven't you already completed the "edit post" feature? Agreed, it's a bit hidden behind the delete option, but afaik that's what it is. Delete and replace with a new post.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@udondan The mastodon api provides a way to truly edit where your post doesn't actually get deleted and you can see a history of changes. We will implement that soon.

𝕍ιηⓄ𝐝 𝕍. :verified:

@ivory thanks for letting us know this!

Hope to get a TestFlight invite for the next updates?

Nate Sullivan

@ivory So glad Ivory exists — can’t believe it’s as far along as it already is. Hang in there and keep at it.

Zacky Ma :favicon:

@ivory Thanks for sharing! Any planned accessibility improvements? I’ve been hearing folks saying there are many issues right now.

Jae Bloom

@ivory I appreciate the honesty. And also I think if people have been following the ordeal about Tweetbot many of us will be so understanding at missing features. Ivory has become my daily driver app and a proud Premier sub!

乌有猫乌诺

@ivory Will the private message function be added?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@Chernobyl It already exists. But we won't treat them like a messaging system like other apps because that's not what they are. They are just posts that only the mentioned users can see. They aren't truly private as your server admin can read them and it's way too easy to add anyone into the conversation.

Alex Hung

@ivory I’m surprise support for server side filters and hiding filtered posts are not in this list, while others that I don’t consider table stakes are 😢

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@alexhung Right now Ivory doesn't use the web option "Hide with a warning". It is on our list of things to build. But if your web filter uses the “Hide Completely" option, you won't see them in Ivory.

Alex Hung

@ivory I don’t want to hide them completely though. That’s not useful because I don’t know what’s being filtered.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@alexhung yes, it's on our list to mask filters. Just haven't gotten to it yet.

Just Me (she/her)

@ivory Thanks for letting us know. Despite your app isn’t finish yet, I like 👍 it.

David K

@ivory looks great! Looking forward to seeing some of these features making an appearance.

Philip Mees

@ivory more color themes support coming? Mis my “Future dark”!

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@philipmees Not for awhile as we have so much other work to do, but we have some ideas to add a bit more color to the bg later. 🙂

Chris

@ivory Adding other servers is an absolute must. Ice Cubs and Mammoth already do this.

PhilipKing

@ivory I’m just happy to support you. Ivory is already my favourite Mastodon client. Please don’t put too much pressure on yourselves to hurry.

dre k

@ivory You folks are doing a fantastic job. Thank you. 👏🏽

Simon Hiscocks

@ivory Fab. it’s a brilliant app (as was Tweetbot 😢). You’re doing a brilliant job. So many app developers could learn from you guys.

Peter Hosey

@ivory Does “Quote Posts” mean better embedding of linked toots, a two-tap method of quote-tooting, or both?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@boredzo Most likely both. It's coming to the official API from Mastodon as well so we will be keeping an eye on that and will use the official system when ready.

Igor Ferreira

@ivory Thanks for the great app, and I hope your team manages to move the app forward with time for quality and good development pace.

As a feature request (if it is not already in the plans): I would love to see the possibility of setting the post language on this list.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@igorcferreira It's not on the public list, but it is on our list. We will be redesigning the whole compose view with lots of improvements for a lot of highly requested features.

Sunny 🟦

@ivory Now just can the subscription pricing scheme. I will never make monthly payments for social media.

Stefan Csoka

@ivory You are doing a great job, guys! Looking forward to the next update.

Sven

@ivory Great job so far. Love your App! 👍

Andy

@ivory Thank‘s for the update. Ivory is already now the best app for Mastodon. Keep up the good work. 👍

Jayenkai [ J-N-K ]

@ivory
I think I speak for most when I say that we REALLY appreciate the mountains of work you've all done in these crazy-fast moving, but short few weeks.
Thanks to all involved.

Mikałaj Vałasataŭ 🥤

@ivory can't wait "browse other instances"! (as a single user instance owner)
You're the best! ⚡️

winfreak

@ivory glad to see you so responsive and honest about it :-)
Any very rough ideas when we'll see a Mac version? Will it only happen after the iOS app has all Features ticked off?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@winfreak Mac public alpha is around the corner. We are just trying to fix some of the bigger issues before doing that.

winfreak

@ivory can't wait to get my hands on it! Thanks for the statement.

stux⚡

@ivory No worries at all! :cat_hug_triangle: keep up the good work!

k23ymst

@ivory
いつも応援しています!
頑張ってください😃

Callalily

@ivory
Are you going to have an android app??

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@Callalily Unfortunately not. We only make Mac and iOS apps. We don't have any experience with Android.

Anthony :fatpikachu:

@ivory Appreciate the transparency. Ever thought of hiring someone to help with the customer-facing side of the business, even just a few hours/week? Might ease some of the load off everyone else and allow them to actually work on making the app the best it can be.

Ron Jeffries

@ivory I like it already, and wish you great success.

Alwin Schoemaker

@ivory thank you for a great app so far! Looking forward to future updates.

Solinvictus :vm:

@ivory wow! Being aboe to edit posts would actually raise my interest a lot 😄

Romolo Sorrentino

@ivory further ahead on your roadmap, maybe the alt for image descriptions could use AI (Vision + Core ML)

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@rosorrentino We will look into our options when we redesign the compose view.

Ro’

@ivory and yet Mr Musk had to ban a 3 ppl company…

Mark Paterson

@ivory great job on the app. The only thing I would say is that Search is kind of broken right now. Many queries for posts return a “No posts found” response, but do return results in the official app. Is this a known issue?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@markpaterson We don't make use of the hashtag search api yet which is where most results come from. Try going to your instance website, do a simple search, then click on the "posts" tab and see if the results are different from Ivory?

Mark Paterson

@ivory I take it back. Seems like searching for words is very limited on Mastodon in general. On my instance website I searched "Apple" and all that showed up in Posts was your post about the Ivory app.

Coming from Twitter, my expectations are that a search query returns results whether or not they are a hashtag.

Feels like hashtags are therefor more important on Mastodon, because all other words seem to be ignored, which makes Mastodon seem a lot quieter than it really is. I'm still learning!

Searching for "Apple" posts returns only a single result
Searching for #Apple hashtag returns many results
Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@markpaterson yes, I believe part of it is the decentralized nature of the service. But another part is the creators of Mastodon didn't want a global search to make it easier for people find general discussions and reply with negativity.

Steven Van Elk

@ivory hope the filter options for notifications means the ability to exclude mentions from notifications, since mentions are a fixed part of nav bar.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@stevenvanelk The mentions tab is going to be removed once we improve the notifications tab. Huge improvements to the notifications tab are coming.

bobrk

@ivory 100% bought and subscribed to your app. I started a toot and after saving it as a draft, I couldn't find the draft anywhere in the app. Is that another feature still to come, or did I not know where to find it?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@bobrk Drafts are currently in the gear icon of the compose view. It will be easier to find in the future.

marca56

@ivory can’t wait until you have a MacOS version. I use the iOS version now, but Ice Cube on the Mac.

Andrew Hutchinson

@ivory Thanks for the update! You guys always nail it. 🔥

AnzickT

@ivory @stux Please make sure to work with John Mastodon, the owner of the service, so that your app fits in with his plans to take over the internet. 😉

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@mammut546 @stux We can't reach John Mastodon. He only reaches us at his convenience.

stux⚡

@ivory @mammut546 :blobcatgiggle: yup.. that's our John! :mastodance:

02262

@ivory you guys are awesome. This app is great already and has made it easier for me to find people. This is my Twitter replacement. Thanks for continuing to make the app better.

Nick from Toronto

@ivory Bug reports still preferred via email?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@nbomb yea especially using the contact button in the settings of our app. It attaches any error logs that the app has encountered.

DELETED

@ivory Thank you! Ivory makes you feel right at home in mastodon! Thanks for the great work!

Now the mac app 😁✌️

Gustavo Saez

@ivory Listen brazilians.... think about the price... it’s so expensive. Ivory can grow faster in Brazil if you consider adjust the price. As we said: 15USD is a lunch in US, 15USD in BRL is a barbecue.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@gustavosaez We are aware. We will be looking at the pricing in some other countries soon.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@rachelmutia Yes! We've been in the business of making iOS and Mac apps since 2008. 🙂

MSTDN Alternativo

@ivory thank you sir . Always the best app. 👍🏻❤️🇧🇷

Kevin Herrera

@ivory Could you please order the checkpoints in this roadmap by which you intend to implement first? Not asking for ETAs, just what order I could expect these features to roll out.

DELETED

@ivory THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK. Used Tweetbot for years. Happy you are here.

bashfulrobot / Dustin Krysak

@ivory omg. Suppressing duplicates boosted posts. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Jeff Greco

@ivory stoked browse other networks made it 🎉

Stephen

@ivory Love the communication! great to see that browsing other instances is on the short list.

Josh Biggs

@ivory +1 to supress duplicate boosts and edit profile. Great job on the app. Appreciate it!!

Alan Ren :ablobcheer:

@ivory Just a quick question, how does badge works in ivory? Is that related to the instance I am on?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@alanvww Basically have to add one of your server's custom instance emoji's in your name or bio.

Harry le Roy

@ivory Your subscription model is unrealistic. With Twitter, you had a core group of customers who weren’t looking to switch when you changed payment methods, but starting from scratch (in terms of customers) there’s no way to pick up enough new subscriptions. Please consider a different purchase model! Companies like scrivener and sublime text have a fantastic business model (perpetual license per major upgrade)

Jer

@ivory You guys are doing great work! Thank you!

Velux ΘΔ

@ivory Any chance you’re planning to have the filters set in app match up/‘sync’/affect the filters set on server? That would be huge!

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@Velux Eventually. Our keyword filters have regex support which are much better than the web ones. But we will figure out how to make them all play nicely.

Szymon Bęczkowski

@ivory I would love to have multiple instances' local timelines in one view.

Travis

@ivory is there a way to subscribe to updates on this? (RSS please?!!!!)

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@tmcarr Unfortunately not since it's all just plain html. There's no backend behind it. 😅

Millions

@ivory I’m a former twitterific user and I’ve really loved Ivory far. Great work!

Trent Rothstein

@ivory What a beautiful 1.0 and a joy to use! Thank you for building this!

Marc

@ivory Any plans to make the iOS app run on Arm Macs?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@imarc we have a Mac app that will be out as a public alpha soon.

Ramon van Belzen

@ivory I find it a bit 🤑 compared to the earlier tweetbot pricing

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@ramoonus we intentionally had to sell Tweetbot for cheap because of how bad the api was there. Ivory is already a much better app now and will be even better as time goes on. 🙂

Citrouille

@ivory i understand you need to make a living but I'm a little bit put off by a subscription for a unfinished product

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@citrouille that’s fine. You are free to wait until it has the features you want. Software is always an unfinished product. We have things that the other apps don’t have and they have things we don’t have yet. 🙂

Serbmana

@ivory can’t wait to get Ivory. After Twitter dumped Tweetbot I’m done over there

Mr Audio

@ivory can you add an option for larger text? The current Largest text setting is still too small for some of us more seasoned users.

fragstone

@ivory when it will be available on the Mac?

Rolando

@ivory

Imagínate que el tipo que hace las animaciones de #Ivory y el UX supiera programar así de bonito como hace con las animaciones.

El roadmap estaría terminando en menos de lo que canta un gallo.

A esperar. Sentado y calladito para no interrumpir con:

— ¿Ya está? ¿Ya está? ¿Ya está?

Jan

@ivory any way to build a feature to see all accounts who “starred” a post, and not only the ones from your instance?
