Pterodactyl

Warning: THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. It does not have all the features. Use it at your own risk.

Pterodactyl is a client app for Mastodon¹ on android. Heavly inspired by Mastodon-android, and its forks Megalodon and Moshidon, the main goal of this project is to have a Material You (a.k.a. Material 3) design.

Why not a fork? Why not to contribute?

I've contributed to cited projects. And will continue to do so in the future. There are a few reasons I created this project as a separate one:

1. I wanted some features that I could not add to those project because,
2. Those projects are in Java, and
3. I wanted a reason to learn Jetpack Compose, that requires Kotlin.

As the upstream developers were very clear they do not want Kotlin on their codebase, I'm creating my own.
