Like Brutaldon, but for Gemini > instead of Lynx. Hi, I'm the author of brutaldon :) I've thought about writing a Gemini Mastodon/Pleroma client, like brutaldon for Gemini. It would be extremely straightforward to do read-only, public-timelines-only. Slightly less straightforward to do read-only, personal timelines (need to handle Mastodon login process, generate a client key, and link it to Mastodon auth token). Once you've got that done, text-only posting with your default privacy level is easy, but adding images, polls, and privacy settings becomes difficult because of the intentional limitations of Gemini input fields. IMO you're really better off using either Toot (TUI) or Tootstream (CLI), though. I don't really love the idea of Gemini being used intensively for applications, because it's intentionally not designed for it. I feel like the 'Gemini way' for doing network application development is to design an open, application-specific protocol, and write native servers and clients for it. NNTP is the example I always keep coming back to. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Jason F.
