* Add support for keyboard shortcuts. This change introduces a Shortcut component for defining global keyboard shortcuts from whichever component makes more sense. This change also adds an initial set of navigation shortcuts: - Backspace to leave a modal dialog or to go back - g t to go to the federated timeline - g f to go to the favorite page - g h to go to the home page - g n to go to the notification page - g c to go to the community page - s to go to the search page These shortcuts are loaded asynchronously from _layout.html In modal dialogs, shortcuts are also modal, to avoid strange or overly complex behavior. This is implemented by grouping shortcuts into scopes, and activating a separate 'modal' scope when entering a modal dialog, so a separate set of shortcuts can be enabled in modal dialog. Modal dialogs can be exited by pressing 'Backspace'. * Navigate up/down lists using keyboard shortcuts. This change introduces keyboard shortcuts for navigating in lists and virtual lists. j or arrow up selects the next element, k or arrow down, the previous element. Selecting an element scrolls the list up and down, as necessary. This change also allows directing keyboard shortcuts to the active element and defines the following shortcuts, for the active status: - f to favorite or unfavorite it - b to boost or unboost it - r to reply to it - o to open its thread - x to toggle the display of a CW - y to toggle the display of sensitive medias This works by defining a keyboard shortcut scope for each list element. A new component, ScrollListShortcuts, keeps track of the active element, based on list or virtual list elements and redirects shortcuts to the active element's scope. ScrollListShortcuts keeps the active element in the current realm of the store, so the active element is restored when going back to the list. * Typing h or ? displays the list of available keyboard shortcuts. This change introduces a new modal dialog that documents the list of available shortcuts. |

Pinafore 
An alternative web client for Mastodon, focused on speed and simplicity.
Pinafore is available at pinafore.social. Beta releases are at dev.pinafore.social.
See the user guide for basic usage. See the admin guide if Pinafore cannot connect to your instance.
For updates and support, follow @pinafore@mastodon.technology.
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
- Support the most common use cases
- Small page weight
- Fast even on low-end devices
- Accessibility
- Offline support in read-only mode
- Progressive Web App features
- Multi-instance support
- Support latest versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari
Secondary / possible future goals
- Support for Pleroma or other non-Mastodon backends
- Serve as an alternative frontend tied to a particular instance
- Support for non-English languages (i18n)
- Offline search
- Keyboard shortcuts
Non-goals
- Supporting old browsers, proxy browsers, or text-based browsers
- React Native / NativeScript / hybrid-native version
- Android/iOS apps (using Cordova or similar)
- Full functionality with JavaScript disabled
- Emoji support beyond the built-in system emoji
- Multi-column support
- Admin/moderation panel
- Offline support in read-write mode (would require sophisticated sync logic)
Building
Pinafore requires Node.js v8+ and npm.
To build Pinafore for production:
npm install
npm run build
PORT=4002 npm start
Docker
To build a Docker image for production:
docker build .
docker run -d -p 4002:4002 [your-image]
Now Pinafore is running at localhost:4002.
Updating
To keep your version of Pinafore up to date, you can use git to check out the latest tag:
git checkout $(git tag -l | sort -Vr | head -n 1)
Exporting
You can export Pinafore as a static site. Run:
npm run export
Static files will be written to __sapper__/export.
Note that this is not the recommended method, because CSP headers are not currently supported for the exported version.
Developing and testing
See CONTRIBUTING.md for how to run Pinafore in dev mode and run tests.
Changelog
For a changelog, see the GitHub releases.
What's with the name?
Pinafore is named after the Gilbert and Sullivan play. The soundtrack is very good.
