Key UI/UX highlights:
Unified Search & Discovery: Allows querying across instances, profiles, posts, and tags.

Accessibility: Designed for ease of use, especially for those new to the Fediverse.
Project Vision

By combining a powerful, ethical crawler with a user-centered mobile interface, Bronto offers a compelling way to navigate the decentralized social landscape, additionally showcasing Rust's potential for high-performance services for the data-intensive backend services.
