It does look nice.

I can't seem to figure out how to open posts and profiles though. Neither single nor double-clicking does anything. Sometimes double-clicking a post that contains a link would open the link in the web browser. The only thing that works is right click -> open in new window. MacOS 14.7.5 (23H527)

Alas, fell at the first hurdle by saying my Akkoma and GotoSocial instances aren't valid.

Could you please give me some instance URLs so that I can check?

You can find out about different servers on https://fedidb.com

FediDB doesn't track GoToSocial servers, because of a dispute about scraping/crawling.

Thanks!

Yes, that’s intentional — to view a thread or profile, use the contextual menu (right-click or control-click). Clicking is reserved for posts that contain a link or preview card, which will open in the browser.

Is there a better source that tracks a broader range of Fediverse servers? At the moment, my app officially supports Mastodon, though I’m aware there are derivative forks and other compatible implementations.

Why is a separate process necessary here?

You don’t want login settings, cursor blink rate settings and random app settings running in the same process

Why? Is there a mechanism by which one of those would be able to interfere with another?

Added a couple of mine to the issue I filed earlier.

Yes, the mechanism of “memory access”.
