inb4 nintendo sends cease and desist

They'd get busy: The creator of Phanphy also maintains a list of github repos named after Pokemon.

OK. There's absolutely no information about it?

E: This is the proper way to share something like this

If you have Mastodon you can just try it?

It's a Mastodon client. It has many neat features. I like it on desktop because it's easy to navigate with my keyboard. It's also great on phone. Overall pleasant, Mastodon users should try it out. But I feel like describing it at length is not really productive - it's a user interface.

I'm not giving access to my Mastodon account to some random service I've never heard of for no reason.

I don't need length. Any sort of description at all would be helpful.

I’m not giving access to my Mastodon account to some random service I’ve never heard of for no reason.

If it makes you feel better, it's all client-side: there's nothing executing on the server (I'm running a copy of it on a server that just... can't execute anything) so it's not doing any data stealing.

Buuut, since it's trivial to host, you could grab a copy of the code and host it yourself as well.

LOL people around here truly do be delusional.

It's fairly literally just a download-and-run kind of deal it seems. Does seem pretty trivial.

This person couldn't be bothered to search "Phanpy Mastodon" to learn more, literally everything is non-trivial to them. They probably have to remember to breathe.

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 1 points 1 week ago

I can absolutely Google. But I choose not to. Because fuck Google.

When I did a web search it just directed me back to this same page.

It's a nice user interface, made by @cheeaun@mastodon.social, and loved by a lot of people.

If you don't want to trust people with your account details that's fine - then using a third party app is probably not for you, unless you're willing to either trust people or dig into the source code.

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ive tried many different third-party apps. Because they give me a reason to.

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago

That's great!

[–] dameoutlaw@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

It’s not just for mastodon users, that’s selling it short
