Honest question - I've been using Ivory for the past week but it doesn't seem to do anything that Metatext or the Mastodon app didn't already do. What's so fantastic about Ivory? I feel like I'm missing something because everyone speaks so highly of Ivory.

Thanks!

In my case, I've got years worth of Tweetbot muscle memory. Using different clients is... a little rough right now.
I haven’t used those apps, but I figure it doesn’t do anything those apps don’t do.

I just prefer Ivory’s UI. For me, it’s a nicer app to use.

> Metatext

I do like Metatext but development is paused (repo is archived) - and notifications appear to have stopped working. I'll probably end up back on Toot! at some point.

(Tried building my own version from the repo but it breaks for some reason and I'm not an iOS dev who can figure out why.)

I'll have a go at building it and if I'm successful I'll let you know. I honestly thought a proper fork would have started by now but that is not the case.
I think posting an "Unlisted" toot was one of them, though I could be wrong. I don't have the official app nor Ivory to check this.
