Elk
A nimble Mastodon web client
Elk is in early alpha ⚠️
It is already quite usable, but it isn't ready for wide adoption yet. We recommend you to use if if you would like to help us building it. We appreciate your feedback and contributions. Check out the Open Issues and jump in the action. Join the Elk discord server to chat with us and learn more about the project.
The client is deployed to elk.zone, you can share screenshots on social media but we prefer you avoid sharing this URL directly until the app is more polished. Feel free to share the URL with your friedns and invite others you think could be interested in helping to improve Elk.
Sponsors
We want to thanks the generous sponsoring and help of:
And all the companies and individuals sponsoring Elk Team members. If you're enjoying the app, consider sponsoring our team:
We would also appreciate sponsoring other contributors to the Elk project. If someone helps you solve an issue or implement a feature you wanted, supporting them would help make this project and OS more sustainable.
Contributing
We're really excited that you're interested in contributing to Elk! Before submitting your contribution, please read through the following guide.
Online
You can use StackBlitz CodeFlow to fix bugs or implement features. You'll also see a CodeFlow button on PRs to review them without a local setup. Once the elk repo has been cloned in CodeFlow, the dev server will start automatically and print the URL to open the App. You should receive a prompt in the bottom-right suggesting to open it in the Editor or in another Tab. To learn more, check out the CodeFlow docs.
Local Setup
Clone the repository and run on the root folder:
pnpm i
pnpm run dev
Warning: you will need corepack enabled, check out the Elk Contributing Guide for a detailed guide on how to set up the project locally.
We recommend installing ni, that will use the right package manager in each of your projects. If ni is installed, you can instead run:
ni
nr dev
Testing
Elk uses Vitest. You can run the test suite with:
