Flyweight

iOS client for GNU social

Status

This is very much a work in progress. The data and network layers are coming along. The UI is barely good enough for testing, showing notices from a public timeline. I will need to finish basic features to put it on the App Store for general usage.

Goals for initial release

  • Ability to send and receive notices including image attachments
  • Ability to repeat and favourite notices
  • Ability to reply to notices and view the conversation chain as known by your server
  • View home, notifications, public, TWKN and own timelines (tags, groups, other users to come later)
  • Cache aggressively and use embedded database to quickly recall notices and image assets for display
  • Carefully managed network operations with rock-solid error handling
  • Clean touch interface that is functional on all iPhone and iPad sizes
  • UI for single account only, but backend support for multiple
  • Lean on server to linkify groups, tags, mentions initially

Build instructions
