The Mammoth app for Mastodon for iOS
Towards the end of November I was trying out the Tooot app, singing its praises, and saying that it was now my main app for Mastodon. However, I've recently discovered and have been beta testing the Mammoth app, written by Shihab Mehboob, the guy who wrote the Aviary app for Twitter. If you know that app, you'll probably already be ahead of me and demanding to know where you can get Mammoth. I'll tell you that later.
Mammoth already has most of the features contained in most other apps and not only has extra ones but some of them are surprising. Such as View Post in AR. No, I can't think of a use for that, either, but it works. And Picture in Picture allows you to use PiP to view a post while doing something else on your iPhone's Homescreen or another app. And there's an iPad version, too.
Here are the features I've found so far:
So, how can you get the beta?
Go here:
Read the important bits of the page, install the TestFlight app, then install Mammoth. Enjoy! But do submit feedback.
Oh, and as some of you know, mammoths aren't at all the same thing as mastodons. Different family. Elephantidae. But I bet the programmer knows this already.

Over 50 Programmers Generate 50,000-Word Novels For 9th Annual 'Nanogenmo' Event
"Since 1999 fiction writers have tried starting and finishing the composition of 50,000-word novels in November for "National Novel Writing Month". But for the last nine years, programmers have instead tried generating 50,000 word novels — and this year's edition received more than 50 entries."
