Honestly, using feels a lot like using the web UI if it had been in 2 years of additional development. Lots of stuff people have been asking for, beautifully implemented.

Give it a try if:

  • you've been overwhelmed by a reply thread on Mastodon because it's all just a big flat mess
  • you'd like to see quoted posts actually unwrapped
  • you'd like to see threads as threads
  • you'd like to see notifications bundled

And yeah, it's all open source.

@eloquence for the white bar, it's reported here https://github.com/cheeaun/phanpy/issues/231

It's a Firefox Android bug. A bit tricky to fix.

内蔵の翻訳機能も以前よりちょっとかしこくなった気がするんだけど気のせいかな？
サイト全体を翻訳とかは自分はほとんどしなくて、センテンスごとに翻訳かけてるからかもしれないけど。
そのものの改善が進んでるのかな？
同じ 導入してる の翻訳もそんなに極端におかしな翻訳が返ってくることはあんまりない印象

@nibushibu hi 👋 I just want to clarify that Phanpy uses Lingva Translate (https://github.com/thedaviddelta/lingva-translate), not Lingvanex 😬

@nibushibu no problem. I understand that both of them sounds almost the same 😆

At least, I have not heard about this before. Looks pretty cool! Let's give it a try!

@charis being seeing folks here in SG trying it too. Interested to know your thoughts

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@charis yeah 😢 I think there's also no strong competitor to meetup.com — still popular here, serves as one-stop site for discovering new events.

I also saw https://partiful.com/ being used (not just for parties)

Re: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/11/improving-the-quality-of-conversations-on-mastodon/

There are two "pre-reply sheets":

  1. NonMutualPreReplySheet; conditions: if post's account is not self, not followed by post's account and account has at least 1 following
  2. OldPostPreReplySheet; condition: if post is created more than 90 days ago (~3 months)

@cheeaun Hey there ! I hope you're doing well !

I just wanted to report that after the latest update (today I believe ?) it seems like boosting a post deactivates all clickable elements in the post, except the top right cross and menu. Can't click on the media, hashtags, profile, fav button, like button or reply button. The 2 top right buttons still work after a boost.

The boost button seems to be the only one causing this. Closing the post and reopening it reactivates everything o/

I use Phanpy on Firefox Windows 10

I hope that's useful :tuturu:

@Yamakyu thanks! fixing now

Downloaded + testing out some (unpaid) Mastodon iOS apps, as well as all the web-clients on my iPhone.

Using the official Mastodon site as a reference for the apps / clients available, as well as any apps I can find in my iOS app store.

Very excited. 🙂

PS: I am in no way a professional reviewer, I'm just a very curious person. 😉

@PlasticMonkey it’s currently a bug when Graze is enabled, affecting Phanpy. I’ve reported it and will be fixed soon.

Hey @cheeaun! Phanpy lover back with another thought — how difficult would it be to add a Profile filter that shows only posts "with me".

For example, if I'm on your profile, I can filter your posts to just the ones between us (and any others who may have been tagged).

I've been running searches like this but it takes a few clicks. https://phanpy.social/#/search?q=from%3A%40cheeaun%40mastodon.social%20%40jeromechoo&type=statuses

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@jeromechoo interesting idea, noted.

As of now, I try to limit features that require (advanced) search as some instances (older Mastodon or other non-Mastodon servers) might not have it yet or enable search.

For your use-case, it does sound like could be done in 2 ways:

  1. "Show posts between us" button or menu in the account page
  2. Saved searches

What do you think?

technicat, to mastodon
@technicat@universeodon.com avatar

saw someone asking for indication of followed tags in a post but it’s not as easy as it should be, tags in a post aren’t returned with follow info (I think they used to)

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@technicat if you mean followed hashtag indicator on non-following posts, perhaps useful thread: https://mastodon.social/@cheeaun/111035652725629807

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@technicat oh wait, which "following" are you referring to — the hashtag or the post account?

As for followed tags API, I read the doc says limit is only max 200 (per call), so you'll make 10 paged calls and virtually limit to 2K? (just in case if the user follows an insane amount of hashtags? 🙈)

Finally trying out the Wayback Machine Tweets archive tool https://archive.org/services/wayback-gsheets/archive-your-tweets

I thought it'll copy all posts into the "archive", but it actually generates a CSV file of links from tweets.js, to be uploaded to Google Sheets, then batch process them one-by-one.

I have 51K+ posts, but CSV shows 37K+ links. When importing file into Google Sheets, it has a limit of 40K rows.

I thought the batch process will take few hours, but… turns out it'll be roughly 16 days 🫠

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@box464 I'm kinda hoping that Internet Archive have already started scraping/caching Twitter links since last year 😬 so this exercise is just to double-confirm.

I also got my own archive, though this is more like meant to archive the URLs. If twitter is gone one day, there'll be lots of 404 links out there.

@cheeaun Custom emoji search + include normal emoji's in the compose new toot window?

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@tripplehelix hi, are you asking if the feature is available or suggesting the feature? 😬

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@tripplehelix ah ok 😃. For search, do you mean the autocomplete after typing : or some sort of find UI inside the custom emoji list dialog (on Phanpy)?

Re: normal/native emojis — they are… complicated, so for now I usually advise using the OS own system-wide emoji picker. Most modern OSes now include their own emoji picker and add new emojis every year. You probably need to research how to open them 🙏

@phanpy I guess that's not how closing toot details should work 🤣

Accidently closing toot details by selecting text in Firefox on Android

@derflocki hi, @phanpy dev here. That looks… like a weird bug 😂

Are you able to reproduce it? I've tried it on my Android phone and can't seem to reproduce it.

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@derflocki ok I managed to reproduce it 🤦‍♂️.

To be honest, this looks more like a browser bug, in a way I have no idea how to fix it too, or even report it 🫠

Kinda surprised that Container Query doesn't work for heights. The moment container-type: size; is applied, it becomes zero height. Huh? 😅

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@kizu hmm I'm doing like different layout based on the height of an element. Height of element changes based on the (dynamic) text content inside.

I think I'm mapping my expectations from using media query (viewport-based) to container query and didn't know it doesn't work in similar fashion.

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@kizu oh… that workaround is quite smart 🤔 I could probably try it out and see, thanks!

@timbray it’s sorted by time. I’ve had thoughts on sorting it based on highest/lowest boost counts etc but it’s not “fair” either way.

The additional sort that boosts carousel has now is filtered posts moved to the end (right side).

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@timbray oh! they are item numbers/indices for the list, to aid navigation inside the carousel 😬 (e.g. if there are 8 boosts, 8th item is the last item)

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@timbray you're right, they don't really add value information-wise but more navigation-wise. It should be more useful on smaller screens to give some sort of pagination aid, while on desktop, it provides a numbered list interface. This was done since the introduction of this feature, I haven't really look back and rethink.

Will be experimenting more 🙇‍♂️

@cheeaun I've noticed that Phanpy adopts the page's background color in the title bar when used with "Add to Dock" in Safari 17 on macOS. Did you do anything special to set it up that way? I've been looking to get this to work in my app as well.

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@zef if I'm not mistaken, should be theme-color https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/meta/name/theme-color

cheeaun,

@zef 🤔 it's either that, or it follows the page's background-color. There's also Settings for the PWA: "Show colour in title bar"

@sarajw I suspect it's probably this bug (an invalid notification object from your instance) https://github.com/cheeaun/phanpy/issues/288 - which is fixed on dev, and tested working from your side too.

Will be deploying the changes soon.
