Hi there!
I'm on Pinafore. And the cool feature it has is that it doesn't feed directly the toots but lets you click on the toots you haven't read yet.
I find that nice so I feel i can take my time and read them at my own rhythm.
I definitely love the App!
Maybe another cool thing would be to have a window showing only those you haven't read yet...
Btw, today after about 12 hours there are no notifications mentioned. Just wondering why...
@nolan does a very great job.
Thanks also to @design_RG for all the incredible research, experiment, clear explanation and pedagogy.
There's great passion and enthusiasm here and it is quite communicative!
Hi Coralie,
I have been trying to figure out the issue you mentioned about notifications. at wellness, the setting had this function you can look see if it can help.
Yes i saw that.
And it's in the instance setting that I can choose which notification I want to have.
I'm thinking it's maybe because at this time there were simply nothing going on...

Thank you, Coralie! That was a wonderful user report, a glowing indication on how it pleases you. I concur - and am quite happy to be able to use Pinafore all the time now.
I first encountered it early in my journey into understanding the Fediverse. Although I have been in many different computer networks since the early 90's, I just joined fedi in November, 2019 -- my 8 months anniversary just passed.
Back in November I was looking for and reading Guides, so I could understand and get to know more; the day to day instance life in mastodon is only a fraction of all the is going on at anytime.
Tried different clients as well, and Pinafore was a surprise at first try -- the speed and lightness, clean design, all wonderful. I have always favoured efficient, lean software, so it is right down my alley.
Sadly, for at least two months, we suffered here at Qoto with a instance config problem; it did not communicate to any clients (other than the mastodon web client) the real maximum toot limit, which is 65 thousand characters.
All the other clients, Tusky, Pinafore, etc -- they used the default 500 chars, and that was a show stopper for me.
I was pained, loving Pina but being chained to that stupid 500 chars limit. Argh, so I had to use the web client mostly, for that reason.
Sometime in January a big bunch of updates and fixed corrected that, and we finally could enjoy it properly -- I remember taking and saving snapshots of the Toot editor showing 65,535 chars as I was ready to start.
Even after this mega reply, there's 63, 956 left now, lol.
sorry for the long post, but storytelling is good, I love it. And it is real recent history of life here.
Thanks indeed to Nolan for wonderful work. I do the best I can to spread the word. #Pinafore is for elite and power users.
Regular users too, if they bother trying and understanding what it offers.
