If you like Rust and would like to help out, check out the repository. I haven't had time to list issues yet, but it is easy to try out the app and see which things don't work yet 😀

@terhechte I really like the idea and the app. Thank you very much for your work!
One idea: it would be great to be able to set the sort order of the second column in the app. Even if that would be different than in the iMessage UI, it makes more sense to me to see the newest messages at the top. Or maybe it would be enough to jump to the end of the second column automatically.

@terhechte @snipy this has columns but also novel traversal by contact.

@terhechte Howdy. I’m the project steward over at Firefish & Spacehost, but also developing Mastodon extensions. I really like what I’ve read about Ebou. I assume the conversation grouping works with standard ActivityPub, as is, and merely makes a more pleasant UX for those who use it as a personal timelines browser? I ask b/c some suggested that ou’re also extending the AP protocol to make this convo grouping a new feature of the masto API. I doubted that, but anything is possible :) - Matt

@terhechte might get a bit confusing is more than one friend/follow is participating in the same conversation, but I like the concept 🙂

@terhechte @glennf When people say Mastodon is a UI playground this is *exactly* what they mean.

This is actual innovation. Super cool!

@terhechte While you’re at it, try going all the way, and making those user specific timelines chronological instead of reverse chronological, so it would really work like a messaging app. Would make threads much more easier to read.
