 Ivory for iOS v1.2 is now out on the App Store! - Support for “Hide with a Warning” for Mutes and Filters https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ivory-for-mastodon-by-tapbots/id6444602274 The ability to read alt/description text on an image is coming next. https://tapbots.com/ivory/#roadmap 212 comments
  @cawhitworth It works for the web filters and ours now! Also works for people you mute in ours (which I believe the web mute doesn't have). @ivory Nice! Since y’all are working on alt text, have you thought about adding an optional feature to alert users when they’re about to post a toot with an image that doesn’t have alt text? @FlatFootFox We will see what we can do. Trying not to spend time in the compose view because it needs a complete revamp anyways. But if there's something easy we can do for this, we can try. @ivory Hide with a Warning is a fantastic quality of life improvement, thanks chaps! 👏 @siod No, unfortunately no one here has an android device or has experience developing for that platform. @pfhubbard It's a toggle. Tap the icon again. Just make sure you didn't accidentally leave on a filter. @ivory is having images, videos, and web pages previews cover the width of the post something planned—even if as an option? @ivory As someone in a trilingual country, using a fourth language to write in: I hope specifying the language of a toot will be added to the roadmap as well… But loving the apps so far! ❤️ @martijnk It will come. We plan to completely redesign the compose view. @ivory The name is still embarrassingly bad and I’m looking at other apps bc I do not think the pin is funny.  Tip: If you mute someone within our app, you can choose NOT to hide their posts completely so you still see when they post and can tap to read them when you want. @spangborn We blame Mastodon for choosing to use both the term mute and filters. 🙃 @ivory So what would that look like? When I mute someone I don't want to see any posts from that person/account? @ivory Oh. I was trying to mute someone earlier and got upset becuse I could still see their posts. I think of mute as “I don’t see you but you see me” as compared to block. But I wound up blocking them because ei couldn’t figure out why mute wasn’t. Haha I’ll try again.  @ivory In other news, I see the image I. Your toot has ALT but who can I see the alt text? I’ve tapped, long pressed, swiped, called up toot details. I’m experiencing a discovery fail somewhere.  @ivory I’m not seeing that option when I go to mute someone from their profile. It just turns on or off. Is it located somewhere else? @chase By default, "hide completely" should be off. But if you go to the Filters tab, you can customize them.  @stevenfeldman Yes. They are basically the same. Mastodon uses filter for keywords and mute for people. So we've tried to follow that.  @ivory Kind of like Twitterrific’s Muffles feature. Love it! But there’s one more thing from Twitterrific that I wish you’d implement… @ivory @siracusa @paul this is why I have paid for Tweetbot for like 13 years or whatever and I am going on the record that I will stop if a “unified timeline” (some real George Lakoff shit here. Can we swap to “undifferentiated timeline”?) ships. No I of course wouldn’t really but I do enjoy this drama.  @ivory This doesn't seem to work for me (1.2/12000). Posts only disappear when I choose to hide them completely. @schalksernst with the switch off, you should see this when that user posts: @ivory where is that option. When I just now tested muting someone, no options were given. Just a notification that person was muted.  @ivory beautiful! I was just wishing we had this functionality included! You read my mind! Two questions: 1. Is there a way to differentiate between filters that are muted completely vs just hidden? (Is there a nice super fancy icon or coloring perhaps? So we don’t have to tap each filter to discover) 2. Is there a way to “name” a filter? For example if I am trying to filter out “ratherlongangryhashtagtopic” but instead it would just display “🤬” in the list or in-line with my timeline? @ivory curious about the muting filter words, since if you write fan as an example it mute every word with those 3 letters in it and not just the word “fan” alone - so it’s not that useful right for my using. Is it limited here so it can’t be the exact word you mute? So it just takes whatever word where those letters are in?? Curious, if I should stop using filters because it removes a lot more than I want to on my timeline, hmm 🤔 keep up the great work, thanks for being a part of Mastodon 🐘 @Rechain So you need to use our regex option for that. For example if you want to filter out the word "me", but not "sublime" nor "mentor”, you use “\ me\ “. There's a space after each \. You can test out regular expressions here: https://regex101.com @ivory I really want to pay for the app but I also want the iOS/Mac bundle. Do you have any idea when I'll be able to do that? @jmuscara When the Mac app is on the store. The bundle will be prorated so if you buy the iOS version now, you won't pay more to upgrade to the bundle in the future. But totally up to you. 🙂 @ivory Prorated? That’s awesome. Since I can’t fully use Ivory on my iPad right now with the best for some reason, getting it now will be worth it @finitebaffle If you follow hashtags and one appears in your timeline, the post will now have a badge (similar to the boost badge) so you know why a random post appeared in your timeline. 🙂 @ivory I really love that you’re doing this right out in the open like this. Subscriptions really are the way to go so you’re free’d up to just roll out new features when they’re ready.

 @ivory great, good luck! Btw is the.read state supposed to sync with read state in the mastodon advanced web client? Just opened the app after a few weeks and I see a „1000+“ unread badges for home and notifications whereas all are read in web @ivory I follow several hashtags but i can't see a badge next to any of them when they appear in my timeline. How is this supposed to look like? Is there something in the settings? iPad Pro, latest OS @ivory I’m really enjoying your app. Thank you for all your hard work. @ivory I’m not sure from trying it earlier — are mute filters in Ivory synced with the backend/web/other clients? I couldn’t see some of the filters I made a while back in the web client @ivory It would be great to be able to look and see what happens in other instances.

 @ivory Thanks for all your great work on Ivory! Without it I doubt I would be as comfortable with Mastodon as I am. @ivory just started using this and think the thing that’s missing is ‘extract text from image’ for alt text descriptions. This is so useful in other clients @ivory If you can implement a way to collect threaded posts and join them together so that they're all in one place and not scattered all over the timeline, I will pay you five-eleventy quintillion dollars. @ivory very cool!! By the way I can't figure out why tapping the top of the screen doesn't jump to the latest toots. It just doesn't do anything. And my Home time line hasn't been refreshed in 2 weeks on iPad. Am I doing something wrong? @ivory Is setting the toot language and the ability to only show toots of certain languages on the radar? Lack of the former is why I still need to resort to Iced Cubes for writing.  @ivory Is Hide with a Warning the same as Hide Completely? I can’t figure out what the former means after browsing the comments. @ivory So it appears that if I add a user to my filters, I can hide them from my timelines but they can still be to displayed in my lists? Seems to work, but if I switch to a different app I still see them, so assume the filter is being set in Ivory configs and not on the instance server.  @ivory Any news on the keyboard disappearing and re-appearing when sharing to Ivory? Also it now seems to happen when replying to some toots? @ivory any chance you can display everyone’s followers when you click on them (rather than just the ones from that server?). Also can we get the colored icon that is you current avatar?🙏 @ivory I follow both of these accounts but the Hiking hashtag badge is displayed. Is that expected behavior? @ivory dear ivory team, thank you so much for all your hard work on both the Mac and iOS side! I just one question: is something like „threaded replies“ (as for example woolly or Mona do them, just in the reply to a post view, not in the main timeline) planned? I know you group them at the bottom of the reply view but think the other view makes it really easy to read - would be an awesome addition as an option. Thank you again!

@ivory  The ability to read alt/description text on an image is coming next. FWIW, I'd also really like to be able to see the image while I'm writing alt-text. That's been kind of a showstopper for me using ivory |

@ivory how about TestFlight spots?
I was on it and got removed, would be nice a return to beta.
