My main (and truly only issue) with <a href="/tags/snac/" rel="tag">#snac</a> is it's overreliance on filesystem operations. it's very cool from a purely unix kind of standpoint where you can see the elegance of such a design, but in practice, it's just way too much overhead<br><br>Having it operate with sqlite instead, as a baseline, would already make it much more efficient than it is <br><br>I do like that people are engineering stuff like this though, having the entire program be a self contained repository of readable C, that implements the basic features of mastodon, is kind of dope!

I am really liking the responsiveness of <a href="/tags/snac/" rel="tag">#snac</a>.<br><br>Predictably the resource utilization is dramatically different than Mastodon.<br>
After a few weeks sitting on my hands watching sidekiq and mastodon chew CPU and disk I/O. Relocating to my <a href="/tags/snac/" rel="tag">#snac</a> based presence so I can shut down mastodon as soon as is practical.<br>

<p>After quite some time, I’m finally ready to share this.</p><p>MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.</p><p>It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.</p><p>What makes it different:<br>• snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"<br>• Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others<br>• EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)<br>• Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline<br>• Markdown posting for snac<br>• Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account<br>• Blocking and moderation tools<br>• Very small footprint, very low RAM usage</p><p>Alt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.</p><p>It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.</p><p>Important note:<br>MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.</p><p>The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.</p><p>TestFlight link:<br><a href="https://testflight.apple.com/join/Pkxa5R1k" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="testflight.apple.com/join/Pkxa5R1k"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">testflight.apple.com/join/Pkxa</span><span class="invisible">5R1k</span></a></p><p>Stay tuned.</p><p><a href="/tags/mastoblaster/" rel="tag">#MastoBlaster</a> <a href="/tags/ios/" rel="tag">#iOS</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/snac/" rel="tag">#snac</a> <a href="/tags/snac2/" rel="tag">#snac2</a> <a href="/tags/akkoma/" rel="tag">#Akkoma</a> <a href="/tags/gotosocial/" rel="tag">#GoToSocial</a> <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> <a href="/tags/ownyourdata/" rel="tag">#OwnYourData</a></p>
