Halcyon for Mastodon

A Mastodon web client that looks like Twitter

The original author of this genius piece of software was inactive for a while and then shut down his demo instance and deleted this repository. I love Halcyon, it's the thing which makes Mastodon the best social network in the world. I took the Code from the Halcyon fork of cybre.space which still works but doesn't seem to get updates, too. I uploaded it here to make the original link work again and don't link into the big nothing. I'm working on much other stuff, too, what is why I won't use my whole free time to work on Halcyon but I try to do as much as possible here.

Stay tuned
