Quick vibe check on @elk usage.

[janekdererste@det.social]

@ayo @elk I use it Andi really like it!!

[ayo@social.ayco.io]

@sarah11918 @elk Taking a lot of notes for improvement!

[micron@mastodon.social]

@ayo @elk I tried other clients but I always come back to @elk because its graphic design wise the most beautiful browser based interface that is out there to browse the fediverse.

[amxmln@mastodon.design]

@ayo @elk Really enjoyed using it for a while, but it felt abandoned for a long time, so I switched back to the official app on the web.

[haayman@todon.nl]

@Ekyllier @katzentratschen @ayo @elk the main program is indeed very much behind the canary build

[yv_pic@hostux.social]

@ayo @elk Elk is my favorite app on desktop, good job| Moshidon & Fedilab on phone.

[auronline@nrw.social]

@ayo @elk my first question was: what is Elk?

[haayman@todon.nl]

@Ekyllier @katzentratschen @ayo @elk sometimes there's a bug on the canary branch, but usually they're quick to respond to bug messages. Haven't been able to fix anything myself unfortunately

[ronald@social.vannacht.eu]

@ayo It's really good, but I want to be able to continue where I left off and that's not possible with Elk. Unfortunately. Looks and works great, though.

[gergely@gotosocial.polonkai.eu]

@ayo @elk I used it for a while, but since I prefer native apps over Web apps, I moved to Tuba.

[grammasaurus@mastodon.social]

@ayo @elk I use it exclusively, but it’s a little glitchy. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can describe what those glitches are well enough to be useful for you.

[techassi@chaos.social]

@ayo @elk I exclusively use Elk on the desktop, but never used it on mobile. There I use the official Mastodon app.

[feudjais@eldritch.cafe]

@skaverat @ayo @elk came here to say this.

[webfussel@mastodontech.de]

@ayo @elk I've used it since I've known about it. By far the best UI for (at least) Mastodon.

[tekhne@mamot.fr]

@ayo @elk I use both @phanpy (which is much better for notifications than Elk) and Elk (where you can copy and paste while switching accounts but still stay on the previous one).
The main issue with Elk : it doesn't support quotes yet.
The main drawback of Phanpy : switching accounts isn't as convenient or quick as it is on Elk.
@cheeaun

[ayo@social.ayco.io]

@tekhne @elk @phanpy @cheeaun That’s why both clients exist and very much friends haha

[ayo@social.ayco.io]

@tekhne @elk @phanpy @cheeaun But I’m taking a lot of notes for Elk improvements, so thanks a lot for sharing!

[sharibaby@c.im]

@elk @ayo I checked it out just out of curiosity when it was announced, and I returned to it every once in a while just to see what was going on. But I still use Metatext as my main app every day.

[daj@gofer.social]

@ayo @elk “discussing the future of..." never sounds good.

[bebatjof@twoot.site]

@ayo @elk I voted "yes sometimes" because I use tusky on my phone and elk on my laptop. (So not really "*started* using something else").

I'm very happy with elk and I've recommended it. I haven't used it on my phone cause I'm happy with tusky also

Edit to add: apart from the fact that it's prettier than the regular mastodon website, the feature I like the most is very simple: the size of the text box to write a post in.

So no fireworks, I just bookmarked elk instead of mastodon web and it's nice.
