Tusks makes posting on Mastodon feel like publishing to your blog.

Tusks is a Mastodon companion app: A tool for your toots. It’s not meant to replace whatever your favourite Mastodon client is, but to augment it instead.

What makes Tusks unique is how there’s no timeline — just your posts. More specifically, it’s built around threads. ****Tusks will help you write threads, update them and be organized.

Starting a new thread is just as easy as making a single post. But that’s not what makes it special. Tusks actively discourages posting into a vacuum, therefore losing valuable context. This is achieved by making it effortless to continue threading narratives. Each post becomes an update to a bigger story.

If you post regularly, then you. If you blog, then you. If you want to write (more), then you.

Also: if you post occasionally, then Tusks could encourage you to post more.

Features

Tusks show your posts as well as any of your follow-ups to the original post (to be clear, you won’t see any users replies, or your interactions with users).

There are several features to help with organizing and publishing.

Pin threads for quick access.
Hide posts that you don’t expect to follow-up, so your list is always relevant.
You can set unique titles for each thread for faster recall.
Search ignores irrelevant posts (i.e. interactions with users).
Write as much as you want in one-go and press a button to split it up into multiple posts.

In addition, drafting is a first-class feature. You can draft new threads, and as many follow-ups to already published posts.
