Phanpy is a web client for Mastodon, the federated social network. It offers a stripped-down interface for reading timelines and posting, aimed at people who want a simpler way to use their Mastodon account in the browser. It runs as an installable app in its own window and can receive content shared from other apps. The design is deliberately minimal and opinionated, so the layout and controls follow the developer's choices rather than offering extensive customization.
A minimal, opinionated web client for browsing and posting on Mastodon.
