I got fed up with sync and load issues in Mona and bought an Ivory sub. But turns out it has all of those issues too - it’s probably an issue with being located in mainland China. Ivory has cute animations but I really miss some of what Mona has to offer.

I guess I have a year to make up my mind now haha.

@brandonhorst “it’s probably an issue with being located in mainland China”

Do you think Ivory is a Chinese product?

@fahrni I am currently located in mainland China.

@brandonhorst I found all the Mastodon clients that I tried lacked one feature or another that I wanted. Plus, I’m on Akkoma and a lot of the clients out there don’t support it, or maybe even worse, support it badly 😛

I’ve taken the source for three different existing clients and modified it to do what I wanted. Each of the last couple of iterations, I moved on to something else since the underlying code made it necessary for me to re-write a lot of stuff to implement what I really wanted ….

Hoping that the latest iteration works since it’s the closest to “least uncomplicated” I can find in terms of code and it also is SwiftUI — the other two weren’t …

I did like Mona in terms of how they did a few things. Actually trying to re-implement a couple of them in my client now 🙂
