# Elk
A nimble Mastodon web client made with 🧡
Elk is in early alpha, but it is already quite usable. We would love your feedback and contributions.
Check out the [Open Issues](https://github.com/elk-zone/elk/issues) and jump in the action. Join the [Elk discord server](https://chat.elk.zone) to learn more and get involved!
The client is deployed to [elk.zone](https://elk.zone), you can share screenshots on social media but avoid sharing this URL or the discord server until we open the repo.

## Local Setup
Clone the repository and run on the root folder:
```
pnpm i
pnpm run dev

We recommend installing [ni](https://github.com/antfu/ni#ni), that will use the right package manager in each of your projects. If `ni` is installed, you can instead run:
```
ni
nr dev
```
## Testing
Elk uses [Vitest](https://vitest.dev). You can run the test suite with:
