Compatibility

Supported operating systems

1. Kaiteki has no support for Apple platforms (macOS, iOS, etc.) since there are no developers being able to maintain it. If you would like to take over, contact us.
2. Most instances have by default HTTP headers which make the browser prevent sending requests within other domains like web.kaiteki.app because of CORS. This makes effectively those backends unusable on web.
3. Kaiteki does not support deep links for authentication yet. This means that websites that only support an OAuth2 login flow, are not usable with the web version. This might change in the future.

Supported backends

Currently the following backends are going to be supported by Kaiteki:

• Mastodon
• Pleroma
• Misskey
• Twitter

This table shows unique features from the supported backends and if they're implemented yet.
