Ellie is no longer available
Posted at
I want to thank everyone who tried out Ellie while in Early Access. Your support and interest in the project motivated me to continue pushing to deliver updates, even amidst starting a new full-time job.
It pains me to say this, but I've come to realize this project is something I do not have the required expertise or time for. In hindsight, a full Mastodon client is absolutely a poor choice as a first foray into Windows app development.
As a result, I've decided to officially discontinue support for the project and cease updates.
In case anyone wishes to use the source code for Ellie to start a client of their own, I'm publishing the source for the last release (v0.3.0) into the public domain (it's pretty hacky in places, sorry! I am absolutely not a C#/Windows dev!)
The source for v0.3.0 is below. ↓
- Client source code (the main Ellie client)
- Authentication service source code (a Go-based authentication service responsible for fetching a login URL/client key for a given Mastodon instance. prevents every login from re-generating a new client key.)
