As many of you know, the third party iPhone/iPad app Metatext is no longer being maintained as the lead developer had health issues.

However, there is now a community-maintained version of the app called Feditext. You can follow the latest news about it at:

➡️ @Feditext

It's not yet in the Apple app store, but it is currently being tested through Test Flight.

Techy people can see the source code of the project at github.com/feditext/feditext

@feditips @Feditext Potentially very good news as #Metatext was my favorite #Mastodon #app.

I hope #Feditext keeps all of the best features and the look and feel of Metatext, and adds what, to me, was missing, like #QT, that I now have in #IceCubes, and threading, like in #Toot! 🤞🏿

@feditips@mstdn.social thank you for the shout out! we're excited to keep the Metatext project going forward.

and we support more than just Mastodon: Feditext also works with extended Mastodon APIs in forks like Glitch, and Mastodon-compatible APIs in GotoSocial, Firefish, and Akkoma, including features such as emoji reactions. in the future, we plan to support rich text post authoring, local-only posts, and native quote posts whenever the user's instance does.

@feditips @Feditext this is really good to hear!! I keep using Metatext despite it not being updated any more, I really hoped it would take some time until it’s unuseable, it’s really nice to hear that this is a thing and it’ll be maintained again!!
