| 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 an installable 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.
