Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I would like to introduce you to Pipilo, a unique Fediverse/Mastodon iOS app with a twist—you browse posts in a horizontally scrolling timeline. Pipilo is a hobby project that I’ve been working on in my free time. I recently launched version 1.2, which I believe now includes all the essential features you’d expect from a Fediverse app, and I’m thrilled to share it with you all now. So, what makes Pipilo different? Instead of the usual wall of posts, Pipilo presents you with a single post from your timeline (sometimes with replies from people you follow). You can swipe to see the next post, and the app always remembers your position. You can leave and come back right where you left off. It’s a fresh way to browse the Fediverse that might not be for everyone, but it offers a different experience that some may prefer over the traditional approach. Pricing model is similar to the one used in other applications in this category. You can use the app for free in a read-only mode, which includes reading all supported timelines, notifications, filters and search. A premium unlock is required to interact with posts, unlock push notifications and add multiple accounts. It is either a subscription or one-time purchase, whichever you prefer. I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback! You can follow the app on Mastodon here: https://indieapps.space/@pipilo
