I'm working on https://schizo.social again. There's still tons of basic client stuff I could work on, like logout, or rendering boosts, but my goal is to build a client for managing multiple #Fediverse accounts; things like syncing following/mutes/etc. Not really trying to build a client you'd use to read.
