For anyone who likes using new apps, give FastSM a try. It's a Mastodon and Bluesky client currently in alpha development, but it has progressed fast within the past few days.
The development of this client is a very clear demonstration of what can be achieved if someone puts their mind to it. For years there has been the need for a number of Mastodon features to be included in a specialist client such as this, but they've never really happened. This combines many of these with an excellent application design.
It includes the ability to quote posts, mute conversations, filtering, scheduling and so much more.
Moreover, the developer understands that an application does not need to be complex in its structure. For example, pressing Enter on a post allows you to read it in detail. That seems a basic feature but people unused to technology like a number of things: they like lists, to press Enter to open something and Escape to close it. It makes people feel more comfortable in their working.
As a final bonus, the app is the best I have seen working with JAWS. JAWS has some difficulty with reading the contents of edit controls in some other clients and that is not the case here.
In summary, the developer has already done a great job at this early stage.
I believe this is the latest link to it:
