- Wallflower is an opinionated Mastodon client designed for readers.
- Mastodon is a decentralized social network with no algorithmic feed, ads, or engagement bait.
- Wallflower offers calm typography, considered defaults, and intentional reading/writing experiences.
- It uses serif typography, italic for emphasis, no bold, and avoids spinners, skeletons, and notification badges.
- Numbers are displayed fully (e.g., 1,234), and hashtags/profiles open within the app.
- Users control when to see new posts via a quiet banner, and dark mode has a warm palette.
- New users can join Bluesky at bsky.app or Mastodon by choosing a server like mastodon.social.
- Both networks allow adding the other later in settings.
