@ivory sucks to not be in your time zone 🤣 best if luck with this.

@ivory I came across this toot 15h too late. the Beta is full. But I am glad that there is so much interest. Hope that means that premium apps for Mastodon on the Mac will be a sustainable business.

Matt

@ivory did all 10k slots go or are there more that will be opened up before App Store release? Thx as always.

Michał Bartos

@ivory Please be extremely careful not to kill Ivory with excessive pricing model. Tweetbot yearly subscription was 28,99 PLN in Poland and it covered all devices (Mac/iPhone/iPad). Ivory for iPhone/iPad costs 79,99 PLN yearly which is already ~2,8x more. If you add extra fee for Ivory for Mac it may kill it.

Scott

@ivory N-o-o-o-o not only is the beta now “full”, but I’ve been removed from the iOS beta too! :(

ryan

Bummed I missed the window. Really looking forward to a native app for Mastodon!

James Jefferies

@tristanpye I have Ivory on my phone and it is amaaaazing - can’t wait for the Mac app, but guess I’d better have for now!

marvinjoa

@ivory I was enrolled in the TestFlight, but now the app disappeared from the TestFlight app and this links says it’s full.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@marvinjoa Yea we had to end iOS testflight for multiple reasons.

Rich Aesthetic

@ivory wait, so the macapp may not be bundled with the 25$ I just paid for the start of an annual subscription for ivory on my phone? talk about steep

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@richaesthetic We haven't given any information about pricing yet. You just have to wait.

Talal :mastodon:

@ivory is there still available slots? or thats it?

Dave DeLong

@ivory Any ideas on when more slots might open up?

Mike

@ivory Another reason to upgrade my aging 2015 MacBook Pro.

(I’m stuck on Big Sur)

Lofirst

@ivory sympa mais trop cher pour moi. Tweetbot n’était pas si cher si ?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

Sorry about the short Mac alpha window yesterday. We ran into a TestFlight issue and are trying to get it resolved. We definitely want to allow more of you access to the Ivory for Mac alpha. Will hopefully have more info in a couple days. Thanks for your patience! 🙏

Joseph Curran

@ivory Does this mean there is still hope? 🥹

George Hammerton :verified:

@ivory Out of interest, ow many testers managed to get a slot yesterday?

Chase :ani_clubtwit:

@ivory Whew. So glad you’re not actually all out of test slots. Will keep a very close eye out!!

Eudes Corrêa :verified_rj:🇧🇷

@ivory there’s any chance of ivory for Mac works on previous macOS version?

Crying in 11.7.2 (ಥ﹏ಥ)

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@eudes We tried, but there were just too many catalyst issues in 11. 😢

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@rob We would love to go lower, but we are kind of forced to start at Ventura because of all the issues with the earlier versions.

Rob

@ivory I will install Ventura in a Parallells VM, just to run Ivory (if I’m lucky enough to get a TestFlight slot next time).

“The things we do for love”… (but hey, it’s Vallentine’s Day 😉)

Sean C.

@ivory no worries — it took me 5 tries to get into the iOS alpha. FWIW i used to use Tweetbot for Mac nearly as much as on iOS so i am sure Ivory will be the same once i can. just glad it is coming.

Simon Whitaker

@ivory I think we literally all just thought “yep, expected it to be this popular”! Excited to know I might get a second bite at the cherry. 😀🍒

Simon Harper

@ivory ooooh! Maybe a 10 minute warning at a time UK folks can get a chance of grabbing the beta please 🙏🏼

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@simonharper We planned to split the release into opposite times of the day. But right now we just have to wait until this issue gets resolved.

Brian

@ivory No worries. Take your time, do your thing. Get it right. Just let me know when it’s time to give you money

Swarming

@ivory Thanks for keeping us up to date. Hope you take this as an indication that many of us are very excited for what your skills and talents can do for the Mastodon platform! 🙏🏻

:wordpress: Jack

@ivory Is there a way I can install the iOS app on my M1 Mac? Or is that not allowed at the code level because you’re releasing a Mac app?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@jackmcconnell Correct. We aren't allowing that because we have a real Mac app.

:wordpress: Jack

@ivory that’s a shame. I’d love to have the choice depending on my preference.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@jackmcconnell iOS apps on the Mac are generally terrible. Would make sense if we weren't making a Mac app, but we are.

:wordpress: Jack

@ivory that would be true but my personal experience has been excellent. E.g. for now, I’m using the official Mastodon iOS app on my Mac and it’s been really good. Keyboard shortcuts and everything. But it’s not a Ivory.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@jackmcconnell We used Ivory for iOS on our Macs internally when our Mac app was still too early. It wasn’t good for us. 🙂

Rt (ir)Rev Hendel 🤦‍♂️

@ivory I'm the only one leaving that URL open in a window and tapping refresh several times a day just in case, right? 😏

Wes Chamness

@ivory I’m very torn about boosting this because I don’t want the testing spots filled before I can get in. So only tell me when it reopens. Then I’ll share the news after I’ve confirmed I’m in

Gerard Koomen

@ivory
Ik kijk er echt naar uit. Het ziet er weer zo netjes uit.

Attila Györffy 🦜

@ivory I keep typing Ivory in Spotlight to realise it “doesn’t yet exist” and it’s iOS only atm. Hope to see this change soon.

Bill Taroli :neurodiversity:

@ivory No worries. I’ll eventually want app on #macOS, but 99.9% of the time I’ll use it only on #iOS. So the best opportunity for me to #test or offer #feedback is really there anyway.

Jon Schwenn

@ivory can premier subscribers of the iOS app get easy access to the max beta without having to fight others to get into the queue?

AFC Paul :verified:

@ivory nice work the missing piece of my puzzle so far.

Joseph Holsten

@ivory I’m happy to be the odd early adopter who can wait for a gold master release. Keep up the good works!

Eric Dannewitz

@ivory Seems odd that all the "tech writers" seem to get access to the testflights, but as soon as everyone else knows about it, it is full.

Really odd.

Stephen Mott

@ivory I had Tweetbot on everything, but then I got bored of Twitter, then Elon fucked it & I got interested because the wife was, now she’s not.. at least the code is mobile, I’m not your target audience am I.. 🥰

Corentin Cras-Méneur

@ivory do you want bug reports through Testflight directly? (I just sent one, but I two some devs. are not fans on how they get those and would rather have testers use other means)

André Claaßen

@ivory Beta Test is full. What is the anticipated release date for the MacOS Version?
