Sequel App is based on Pinafore, an awesome alternative client for Mastodon, developed by Nolan Lawson.
Even though Sequel and Mastodon are very different platforms, the team decided to use Pinafore's backbone framework for building modern web apps, because:
- it's based on Svelte, the framework that we wanted to use,
- we share similar views on application design principles, and
- simply because Pinafore is a great piece of engineering, written with love
- Upgraded from Svelte 2 to Svelte 3
- Borrowed Pinafore code on as-needed basis, but ended up with 80-90% of supporting libraries
- Tried switching to Rollup, but ended up with reverting to Webpack. Simply because Flow libraries back then weren't compatible with Rollup
- Switched from Mastodon domain model to Sequel
- Reworked all platform specific screens
- Added Sequel specific features
- Haven't yet moved any tests over (WIP)
