An alternative web client for [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org]), focused on speed and simplicity.
Pinafore is available at [pinafore.social](https://pinafore.social). Bleeding-edge releases are at [dev.pinafore.social](https://dev.pinafore.social).

## Browser support
Pinafore supports the latest versions of the following browsers:
- Chrome
- Edge
- Firefox
- Safari
Compatible versions of each (Opera, Brave, Samsung, etc.) should be fine.
## Goals and non-goals
### Goals

- Fast even on low-end phones
- Works offline in read-only mode
- Progressive Web App features
- Multi-instance support
- Support latest versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari
- a11y (keyboard navigation, screen readers)
### Possible future goals
- Works as an alternative frontend self-hosted by instances
- Android/iOS apps (using Cordova or similar)
- Support Pleroma/non-Mastodon backends
- i18n
- Offline search
- Full emoji keyboard
- Keyboard shortcuts
### Non-goals

- React Native / NativeScript / hybrid-native version
- Full functionality with JavaScript disabled
- Emoji support beyond the built-in system emoji
- Multi-column support
- Admin/moderation panel
