Figured I'd open source the little preact+signals mastodon client I wrote a few years ago, in case the code is useful to folks. It's called Mastodawn.com - a streaming, offline-first installable Mastodon web app that weighs under 100kb. github.com/developit/mastodawn

Mastro.{js,ts}

Cool! What exactly is the “streaming” part? For the infinite scroll functionality in the main thread, you add like one post to the DOM at a time? Or is it related to the Service Workers?

It uses the streaming APIs from mastodon to show updates in realtime (notifications, feeds). The infinite scroll is done in Preact using chunks of posts and JSX equality - it's actually pretty clever.
