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.
Updated by ani almost 6 years ago
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
