Croissant ⇥ mastodon.social

Croissant is not just a delicious pastry; it is also a new app from Ben McCarthy and Aaron Vegh:

Social media in 2024 can be a real pain. But I’m happy to d’éclair that Croissant is here to help. It makes cross-posting to Bluesky, Mastodon and Threads feel buttery smooth.

I have been testing this for a couple of weeks and it is as described: a lovely, polished way to post across platforms. Okay, it is described with a few more baked good puns in McCarthy’s thread. There is full support for platform-specific features like audience limiting, and probably the nicest alt text entry for images I have seen yet.

It is available from the App Store on the iPhone.

Also, I feel compelled to mention Croissant uses showManageSubscriptions to display your in-app purchase. This is a nice touch. Except Apple takes the opportunity to pollute the screen with an ad for Apple One in a third-party app. Gross.
