| Elk: A Nimble Client for Mastodon - FOSDEM 2025 | /:title/ | elk-fosdem2025-sm | Jeremiah Lee | https://alpaca.gold/@Jeremiah/113929298154246055 | Presenting Elk project in FOSDEM 2025 | A presentation about Elk at FOSDEM 2025 Social Web | talks |
On the 1st of February 2025, I presented a project at FOSDEM 2025 Social Web track. I am very glad I got to participate in this one, as I have been passionately involved in the fediverse since I have joined in 2022.
I talked about Elk, which is is a nimble Mastodon client with great attention to user experience, boasting features such as being a Progressive Web App (PWA), support for code blocks with syntax highlighting, chronological threading, and markdown formatting.
Started by core maintainers behind popular developer tooling in the Vue/Vite/Nuxt ecosystem in 2022, it attracted hundreds of contributors and resulted to the creation of new libraries now widely used in other projects.
In this talk, I gave a brief history of Elk development from the perspective of a contributor who has never written a Vue component (before Elk), some key features of the web application, and a look forward to the future of the project.
