Man, Ebou is slowly getting somewhere. I’m only working on it in my spare time so progress is not as fast as I’d hoped...

On the right you can see the “Conversation” view, which makes it easy to see participants of a thread in a comment list view (like reddit or hn).

Lots of things aren’t working correctly yet, and there’re so many rough edges, improper paddings, etc that will take time to fix, but I’ve started using Ebou for my own Mastodon consumption and I love it. Progress towards beta :)

Some of my most memorable work has been around bending tech into things either at the edges of or beyond what it was envisioned to do, driven by digging into the guts of how things functioned, not constrained by what vendor docs or a robot told me is or is not possible.
