Ok, let's try an experiment. You can use this page to sign up for Toot!:
https://toot-beta-signup.herokuapp.com
It will remain open as long as I dare, and hopefully I won't run completely out of beta tester slots!
And remember, not everything works yet! Report bugs at https://github.com/DagAgren/toot/issues, but remember to check if they are already there!
Closed it down for now since no more requests seemed to go through. Will open it again in maybe half an hour and see if it works better then.
All right, we have reached 500 testers! I'm going to close signups for now, so there are some left for later out of the 1000 available slots.
I'll post here when I re-open, so follow and stay tuned if you still want in.
I'm told the tester limit is now 10000 users rather than 1000. So signups are open again, since there is lots of space!
Just remember, this is still a beta! Not everything works. No content warnings, no federated timeline, no search, no autocompletion for user names, and so on.
@tootapp signed the heck up! Looking forward to seeing how this works.
@tootapp how do I view the federated timeline? Local is easy enough to figure out but I’m unclear about federated. Looks great so far!
@coffeentacos Not yet implemented.
@tootapp gotcha. I thought that might be the case.
@tootapp Yay! It doesn't jump to the top when refreshing the timeline. That's pretty much all I want (and haven't gotten until now) in a Mastodon client 😀
@tootapp wow, i just installed it and I really like the UI & concept. Will use it now and of course report bugs 😍✌️
@tootapp Something went wrong, please contact the application owner: Rate limit has been exceeded for: testflight|default|APPLE_CONNECT:16053263593
@tootapp already closed? I keep getting errors.
@tootapp keeping the reading position when pulling more toots is cool!
@tootapp rate limit exceeded :((
@tootapp That was fast?
@tootapp Thanks for the update! I’m eager to try this out. :)
@tootapp ah, damn! Missed my chance by a bit. Maybe I shouldn’t have recommended boarding :P
@tootapp will you have iPad support, or just iPhone?
@DialMforMara iPhone for 1.0, iPad possibly later.
@tootapp thanks for opening up again. Registration worked immediately. :-)
@tootapp Thanks. I just got in. This is a beautiful app.
@Ronnie does it give you that Felix vibe?
@arjankoole I wouldn’t go that far. Felix was the best app ever made.
@Ronnie I do agree with that. Bill Kunz is a magician.
@Ronnie toot comes close though. You can just tell a lot of attention went in.
@arjankoole So much attention. It’s a fun app.
@tootapp just got in, this is a sweet app!
@tootapp just worked for me
@tootapp works good on the old iPhone 6, I especially like the threaded conversation graphics.
@tootapp app working well for me so far. Do you have a way of reporting issues/ feature requests? Is it possible to store (even after app died ) reading position? I like to read every toot.
@bitomule See my profile for the link to the bug tracker. And timeline positions should always be stored.
@tootapp I can't see your full profile XD https://mastodon.social/media/9RmVTxCYlgEQpBUAx3A
@tootapp It looks like my instance isn't running a recent enough version of Mastodon to use my invite. If you want to revoke jemal@jemal.co and let somebody else have my spot, that's fine!
@tootapp got it and messing around with it some now. 👍🏻
@tootapp looks like your app is getting popular! Rate limit exceeded 😬
@tootapp invite exceeded apparently 😭
@tootapp ermm rate limit that is
@tootapp here's the actual error btw
@tootapp I tried to sign up and got the following error:
Something went wrong, please contact the application owner: Rate limit has been exceeded for: testflight|default|APPLE_CONNECT:16053263593
@tootapp any chance of joining the beta? getting an error when trying to submit to that page :(
@tootapp Too bad 😼i can’t sign for the beta i think the tester slots are gone 😿
@DimitryJacobs @tootapp same here 😥
@tootapp I love those thread indicator ribbons. Reminds me of the commit histogram in git. ❤️
@tootapp Looks like a lot of “rate limit exceeded” when trying to sign up. Any other way to get in on the beta?
@tootapp are there still slots available? The registration says „Rate limit has been exceeded“ ☹️
@tootapp I would pay money for a quality app like this once it gets out of beta.
@tootapp enjoying it!
@tootapp Seems I have been a couple of minutes late...
@tootapp FYI. Apple upped the limit to 10,000 testers now. So you have tonnes of room. See https://itunespartner.apple.com/en/apps/faq/TestFlight%20Beta%20Testing_Using%20TestFlight
@davewoodx @tootapp don’t you mean toottes of room... I’ll see myself out.
@davewoodx Oh ho, did not notice that!
@tootapp Goddamn it, I missed it. 😣
@tootapp I don’t think I am going to be able to dedicate the time to beta testing the app that I thought I would, if you’d like to give my position to someone else. (Just let me know what I need to do to drop out). Many apologies.
@tootapp No custom emoji! 😢 
@tootapp Still so so good, even if short a few features at the moment ❤️
Looks like Apple's servers are rate-limiting quite severely, so you may struggle to sign up. Retrying later may work.
There are still plenty of spaces left.
