TUI, Part 3

SDF has a pair of Mastodon instances. There's a nice HTML5 web app for Mastodon, but... is there a workable TUI? Turns out, the answer is a resounding "yes".

toot (local mirror)

The latest versions of toot sport a TUI subcommand, which provides a two-pane perspective.

As you'd expect, handling posts with media attachments (e.g. images, video)? Jarring. I'll update this post if I find a better way, but to view media-rich posts you must open the post in a modern browser (`v`), or one capable of displaying the post and its attached media.

Next time, I'll discuss how I handle XMPP (jabber).
