I don't know much about this mastodon api client yet, but it sure looks cute. Lots of fun, exaggerated animations.
Not many app developers use the Mastodon Sign Up API, but note if you do, there is a breaking change coming you need to be aware of - optional age verification.
Now I’m kinda curious which apps DO use this!
Here's another mastodon fever dream that is sitting in my projects pile. A mastodon bookmark browser. It extracts the authors and hashtags, and allows you to browse through them based on those filters (plus timeframes).
The problem I have right now is...for a bookmark junkie like me, once you go to "all bookmarks" the list of authors and hashtags gets unwieldy..how do I visualize the options at that point? I guess a series of dropdowns, which isn't visually appealing.
I have several little sites that use the Mastodon API just sitting unfinished. Here's one that attempts to put a user friendly UI on the advanced search (elasticsearch) options if your server supports it.
"If your server supports it" is where I'm stuck. There's no /api/vX/instance or nodeinfo fields that identify if the server has it enabled.
A login is required to test for it...so I have to ask the user to login, then tell them LOL NO JK your instance doesn't support this.
New API filter action in Mastodon that fedi app developers will want to know about.
Filters can now include a new filter_action of “blur”. Media attachments in posts matching the criteria should then be blurred by the client app based on the FilterResult object attached.
The code behind this would make good developers cry. But I have fun fiddling with it on the weekends, and have learned tons about Vue.js
I love this blog post about fun / silly / niche apps built on the #MastodonAPI https://halcy.de/blog/2025/03/18/silly-mastodon-apps/
I've built a thing.
Sometimes my follower count seemingly fluctuates at random. To understand why, I dug into the #MastodonAPI and created "fedi-followers":
A privacy-friendly #fediverse #followers explorer as local-only static web app, decentrally hosted on the #ipfs. See who's actually following (and unfollowing) you over time and much more.
