We plan to open up 2000 more TestFlight spots Tomorrow, Thursday, January 5th. The time with the most votes will be the time we open up access to them. The times are based on CST (GMT-6). We will post the TestFlight link before the winning time. [ ] 9am (09:00) CST [ ] 2pm (14:00) CST [ ] 9pm...tapbots.social

Do you happen to know if the TestFlight link always remains the same I suppose? Not that there are different TestFlight URLs per group of slots.

Nice! They've already added a lot since I got in just before Christmas.I managed to get a beta!
Nice! They've already added a lot since I got in just before Christmas.
If you look in the support section there's mention of Tweets and Twitter.Some parts are very thought out, probably because they could use a lot of code from Tweetbot.
I also got in yesterday (finally) to Ivory and immediately added it to the comparison sheet. It has a slick UI. I hope they do add some features I often use in an update soon: save hashtags, see saved hashtags and click them to see timelines with these hashtags. edit post. Also some other features (see (verified) links in profile, edit profile, see edit post history) other apps have I'm not yet seeing in Ivory. I also tried to set a filter / to not see books and replies to posts in my timeline (as in e.g. Tooot) but I wasn't able to do that or am I missing something.I only played with it for a short while, but it already looks quite complete. And the nice thing is it is very similar to Tweetbot.
Some parts are very thought out, probably because they could use a lot of code from Tweetbot. For example images: most of the apps I tried handle these half-hearted: not sharp when in a timeline (getting sharp when image is selected), when you tab on an image it does not fit nicely on the screen etc... Ivory already does this much better.
And it has time-line sync
You can follow hashtags so that's been sufficient for me. I wish that you could configure it to show you local timelines from other instances that you specify.I also got in yesterday (finally) to Ivory and immediately added it to the comparison sheet.

I'm lately using Tooot as my daily driver but in the rate IceCubes app is adding features (reading other instances, push notifications) I might switch to that soon since it has a really great implementation of lists, saved hashtags. It just needs some fixes in the search and iPad login that I can get working. Both I've already shared with the developer. It could also need some further nice features (audio and video support) and things like polls, GIF to post, thread support but overall pretty great.You can follow hashtags so that's been sufficient for me.

Agreed.

I noticed btw that the search feature in quite a few TestFlight apps is still terrible. No results whatsover (Ivory, Woolly, Tootoise) while in fact there are (recent) posts with this hashtag. Mammoth only find other tags.Agreed. The iPad support has been holding me back from using IceCubes.
Have had the same experience. I've been doing my searches from the web version because doing it from apps gets a whole lot of nothing.I noticed btw that the search feature in quite a few TestFlight apps is still terrible. No results whatsover (Ivory, IceCubes, Woolly, Tootoise) while in fact there are (recent) posts with this hashtag. Mammoth only find other tags.
When apps find results I also find the behavior odd with a quite a few (Tooot, Mastoot, Toot!, Metatext, Mastodon official app, Mercury, Twidere X).
To name an example:
I search for #iOS or #ios for that matter
It returns everything which includes #iOS in a list so also #iOS16 #iOSMastodon and such. Is this a Mastodon behavior?
Luckily IceCubes has a great option to quickly access one hashtag so no longer have to use the search (which doesn't work in that app).
I noticed the news and read it and have it installed and love the UI, however feature wise it's still lacking a lot. I've switched from Tooot to my new daily driver: Ice Cubes (see account on Mastodon) since a week or so and loving it. Some reasons why:TapBots published a web page with a short roadmap for Ivory:
So is this a web app only via https://elk.zone/ right? So not available in TestFlight or App Store. Any idea if they are planning that? Not a big fan of web apps that aren't in the App Store or TestFlight.Agreed Ice Cubes is looking great.
Another contender to also watch is Elk.

Looks like the Tweetbot guys are fast tracking the Ivory release date because of it.I've officially joined Mastodon. The Twitter 3rd party API is broken, and Tweetbot hasn't been working for 24 hours. There's been no communication from Twitter about what the hell is going on. This is the last straw.
And now, news is coming out that the third party suspensions were intentional. Twitter is dead to me. In a way, I'm thankful. I've wanted to leave Twitter for the longest time, and this is just the push I've needed.Looks like the Tweetbot guys are fast tracking the Ivory release date because of it.
