TheDesk Mastodon client

sremick · Jan 30, 2023

Since Mastodon is all the rage right now... anyone up for porting the TheDesk Mastodon client?

TheDesk - Mastodon Client for PC

Light, simple, multi-column, multi-account client for all OS.

thedesk.top

GitHub - cutls/TheDesk: Mastodon Client for PC.

Yes, I know there's the web interface... but I do like my native clients for performance.

Long-live FreeBSD on the desktop!

Did you try to run it under the Linuxulator yet?

looks like a proton app
probably not any better than the web

Some typescript *#@€':$π . Didn't notice that this isn't real. ?

There's /usr/ports/net-p2p/tooth, btw...

net-p2p/tooth seems to work reasonably well. Took me a minute of looking at a startup error to realize I had to install security/gnome-keyring first. I still like the web version better but kudos to those responsible for keeping this fork alive!

was looking for a client and found this discussion...
- will try https://github.com/ihabunek/toot in the coming weeks. we'll see if that works, as a huge tui user i obviously went that road first. (using tusky on my android phone...)
- also https://github.com/RasmusLindroth/tut
- and https://github.com/mrusme/gomphotherium

haven't found anything written in rust (i'm currently learning rust so i like to peruse that as well...)
anyone found something of interest that i missed?

cheers!

Unfortunately, it's abandoned upstream, deprecated and deleted on ports tree as you can see.
The successor seems to be Tuba, but as far as I know no one is porting it to FreeBSD.

Instead, there is net-im/tokodon, but it's a KDE app (much more dependencies than deleted tooth) and I'm not using it so often (mainly using web interface).
