Pinafore

An alternative web client for Mastodon, focused on speed and simplicity.

Pinafore is available at pinafore.social. Bleeding-edge releases are at dev.pinafore.social.

See the user guide for basic usage. See the admin guide to troubleshoot instance compatibility issues.

For updates and support, follow us at @pinafore@mastodon.technology.

Browser support

Pinafore supports the latest versions of the following browsers:

Compatible versions of each (Opera, Brave, Samsung, etc.) should be fine.

Building

Pinafore requires Node.js v8+ and npm.

To build Pinafore for production:

npm install
npm run build
PORT=4002 npm start

Docker

To build a docker image for production:

docker build .
docker run -d -p 4002:4002 [your-image]

Now Pinafore is running at localhost:4002.

Updating

To keep your version of Pinafore up to date, you can use git to check out the latest tag:

git checkout $(git tag -l | sort -Vr | head -n 1)

Exporting

You can export Pinafore as a static site. Run:

npm run export

Static files will be written to __sapper__/export. Be sure to add the CSP header printed out in the console to your server config!

Developing and testing

See CONTRIBUTING.md for how to run Pinafore in dev mode and run tests.
