MarsEdit 5.1
The addition of Mastodon support is a natural extension of the new Micropost Panel which was introduced in MarsEdit 5. I’ve prioritized the feedback of many users and added the ability to resize, add images, view character count, and more.
This is a welcome addition, although I haven’t settled on exactly how I want to use it yet. I like the support for multiple Mastodon accounts, the editor, and the way it can maintain a local archive. However, I still use Mona for most of my product-related posting because it can handle boosts, which MarsEdit neither posts nor archives.

These two were affecting me a lot, and it’s great to have them fixed.
