Support for features specific to Mitra, Toki, GoToSocial and Akkoma has been added, more are coming soon. -- **WYSIWYG status composer**: You can use the WYSIWYG editor for advanced text formatting on any backend with Markdown support. -- **Language detection**: When you write a post, the language gets detected automatically with great accuracy. You can always select it manually. -- **Drafts**: You can save a post you are working on and finish it later. Drafts are only stored locally and work with any backend. -- **Quote anywhere**: If your backend supports quote posts, you can now quote a post by simply putting the link in your post, so you can now quote other posts in a reply. -- **Interaction circles**: A fun feature you might know from third-party tools for Twitter. You can generate a picture that represents the accounts you interact the most with. - -There is more to mention. `pl-fe` includes various minor improvements and visual changes. +`pl-fe` is a social networking client app. It works with any Mastodon API-compatible software, but it's focused on supporting alternative backends, like Pleroma or GoToSocial. ## Try it out @@ -33,7 +22,7 @@ Code contributions are welcome.
