We are thrilled to welcome Echo (@chaosexanima) to the Mastodon core team as our first front-end developer! Look out for future enhancements to the web user interface and user experience as we expand the range of expertise on the team. 🥳

In today's mastodon.social update we have significantly improved the media overlay in Mastodon's web app. You can double-tap to zoom in and out instead of clicking the 1:1 button, and panning and pinch-to-zoom work a lot smoother on touch devices. You can also finally swipe up or down to close […]
