Phanpy is an in-browser application designed for interacting with the Fediverse, a network of decentralized social platforms. It allows users to access and engage with Mastodon and other compatible services directly from their web browser. This approach provides a convenient and accessible way to manage social media interactions without the need for a dedicated mobile app.

Key features of Phanpy include its ability to handle multiple accounts and provide a user-friendly interface for posting, reading, and interacting with content across the Fediverse. It offers a streamlined experience for those who prefer browser-based interactions over mobile apps. Phanpy is noted for its performance and ease of use, making it a viable option for users looking for a straightforward way to engage with decentralized social media platforms.

A minimalistic opinionated Mastodon web client. Features * Multiple accounts * Compose window pop-out/in * Light/dark/auto theme * Grouped notifications * Nested comments thread * Unsent draft recovery * Boosts Carousel™? * Shortcuts with view modes like multi-column or tab bar * Multi-hashtag timeline Design decisions * Status actions (reply, boost, favourite, bookmark, etc) are hidden by default. * They only appear in individual status page. This is to reduce clutter and distraction. It may result in lower engagement, but we're not chasing numbers here. * Boost is represented with the rocket icon. * The green double arrow icon (retweet for Twitter) doesn't look right for the term "boost". Green rocket looks weird, so I use purple. * Short usernames (@username) are displayed in timelines, instead of the full account username (@username@instance). * Despite the guideline mentioned that "Decentralization must be transparent to the user", I don't think we should shove it to the face every single time. There are also some screen-reader-related accessibility concerns with the full username, though this web app is unfortunately not accessible yet. * No autoplay for video/GIF/whatever in timeline. The timeline is already a huge mess with lots of people, brands, news and media trying to grab your attention. Let's not make it worse. (Current exception now would be animated emojis.) * Hash-based URLs. * This web app is not meant to be a full-fledged replacement to Mastodon's existing front-end. There's no SEO, database, serverless or any long-running servers. I could be wrong one day.
