Is this ongoing?

I've been looking at that various options and It seems that all the desktop GUIs that I can find rely on Electron which leaves just a couple of CLI options or the Bitlbee-mastoson plugin. Would the OP find such useful?

I would find CLI useful. GUI is fine but not a requirement from my side.

What are the basic functions you need? Right now my client can view and send toots from the CLI.

Functions like sending messages to my stream and to individual accounts. I want to be able to view my stream, subscribe to others easily and with few steps. I would also like to personalize my program without the need of coding in a stern language. If it requires little power and is standalone that is a plus. Attachments on toots are a bonus.

i looked into this a bit today - it looks like toot and tootle are the most mature, well-maintained, and full-featured

Of the clients listed in the official mastodon website https://joinmastodon.org/apps
there are two, Whalebird and Hyperspace, based on Electron wrapper, and it's a problem that has been addressed in the Chromium platform issue.

Tootle, according to the GitHub page, is a GTK3 client
https://github.com/bleakgrey/tootle
and it lists the following dependencies:

  • meson
  • valac
  • libgtk-3-dev
  • libsoup2.4-dev
  • libgranite-dev
  • libjson-glib-dev

Of those, is there any dependency that conflicts with users freedoms?

i have had both toot and tootle installed since this issue was opened - i dont use them often; but i have had no problems using them

the deps are all in parabola; but i have not audited the code yet - i will publish the PKGBUILDs though, to get things moving - i suspect that these are both perfectly acceptable programs

there are no apparent licensing problems with either of 'toot' and 'tootle' - the licensing of the images for 'tootle' was not clear though so i replaced them
