Gregory's Server@Gargron out of curiosity why did you focus development on iOS and not Android? Are there more Mastodon users on Apple's ecosystem or was it because Apple has a richer demographic?

@Acaii Another angle is similar to what you mentioned, Apple traditionally caters to creatives (artists, designers, musicians and so on) and that's the demographic I believe we need to attract to make the platform more worthwhile for everyone else. |
@Acaii It's quite simple, I use an iPhone, so I am more familiar with this ecosystem (although I used to publish my own apps on the Google Play Store many years back when I had an Android phone). I thought the selection of iOS apps for Mastodon was quite poor, with the best choices being behind a paywall (which is not very conductive to attracting new people). In contrast, I know that Android has Tusky (which I contributed the design to a few years back).
