<b>Raccoon</b> is a free and open source mobile-first client for Friendica and Mastodon.

</p>

<p>

Friendica is an outstanding social plaftorm, featuring powerful characteristics which make

it unique in the federated world:

</p>

<ul>

<li>

rich text editing, long posts, support for titles and spoilers;

</li>

<li>

native support for ActivityPub <b>groups</b>;

</li>

<li>

<b>direct messages</b>;

</li>

<li>

<b>media gallery</b> where you can manage photos and albums;

</li>

<li>

possibility to organize your contacts in <b>circles</b>;

</li>

<li>

ability to quote (cross-post) other people's posts;

</li>

<li>

RSS feed import;

</li>

<li>

integrated <b>event calendar</b>;

</li>

<li>

of course, much more (see the official documentation)…

</li>

</ul>

<p>

The web interface is great to access all of these features but on a mobile device there are

different constraints for usability and readability, so it comes in handy to have an app to

use the most important functions of the platform.
