What's a good #WebClient for Mastodon? I've been using #Soapbox. I love that the layout is similar to Twitter, which made it familiar and easy to use. But it's not really working anymore. Every time I go to the home page, it tells me I'm not following anyone.

My browser is Safari on Mac.

I have found that I can add or remove or re-order sidebar #widgets in the #WebClient on Calckey and I TOTALLY LOVE THIS because I can control my viewing/posting environment more. Want to add a clock, a posting form, and photos? Need it ruthlessly clean? Make it so!

Will probably spend the weekend fiddling around, adding and removing widgets (instead of, y'know, doing housework or researching.)

Just realised that the problem with the @elk web client (currently in Alpha, but it's great - such elegant design) is the lack of *affordance* when comments are displayed.

I *thought* that only 3 comments were ever available *because there were no visible hints or clues to tell me that other comments would be displayed if I scrolled down*. All I saw was white space.

I only discovered this functionality by accident. A classic usability issue. Such important functionality needs to be explicit, not hidden.

Easy to fix by providing some affordance - show your users what they can do.

Despite this, I'm lovin' Elk. It's great. 😀

I'm a "let's push this button and see what happens" person, so I've tried most #web-based and #iOS #MastodonClients.

I found the #Elk (@elk) #alpha #WebClient yesterday, and thus far, I love it. It has a twitter-like feel, and I can hover over a name, view their bio and follow with ease.

It's a neat, clean, bright, comfortable #interface.

I can't wait to see what features appear next!
