Gregory's Server
I tried out the new #Flipboard experience for #mastodon Here's are my quick thoughts:
- The UI was wonderful! Great job bringing the content from Mastodon into the Flipboard experience.
- The support for different streams was 💋👌🏼 mwah, chef's kiss. Home, local and federated timelines are all available through the interface.
- Performance was great! Few if any spinners or pauses. It felt like a real-time news experience.
#Flipboard impressions, continued:
- My public account at cosocial.ca didn't work for the demo. When I added it to the UI, I got a message that it wasn't valid. I think there might be a small allowlist of servers that they're using, which will need to be changed soon. The fediverse is too big for allowlists!
- THEY PROVIDE AN INSTANCE FOR FLIPBOARD USERS. This is epic. I got an account at @evanpro to try out.
I'm excited to see how this develops. I love having Flipboard on the fediverse.
