in the new QR code sharing feature, there’s a slight particle effect. we use the outer space metaphor quite a bit when talking about the fediverse, so we figured this starfield simulation would be a nice way to tie it all together.

there’s another detail i like on this screen but i’ll leave that as an exercise to the reader.

as always, @grishka did a stellar job implementing this UI

New change landing in Mastodon for Android soon! In user testing, people have expressed confusion over “why are all the handles so long?”

We're presenting handles on profile pages in a new style, with the username and server separated. Tapping the server will show you more details, along with a neat easter egg animation when you tap the rows.

@grishka did a phenomenal job on this animation 🙏
