IceAge is a Mastodon client written specifically (and only) for Windows using modern user interface paradigms. IceAge is currently in the early stages of development.
IceAge aims to be a first-class Mastodon client for the Windows platform. Unfortunately, Windows has few dedicated hobbyist developers interested in creating good open source software using the latest, modern UI frameworks, this includes any fist-class Mastodon clients. IceAge aims to rectify that. IceAge is written in C# using modern .NET, and the WinUI3 framework.
