Amidon is a Mastodon native client for computers

(or emulators) running AmigaOS 3.x. It allows the user

to connect and authenticate with a Mastodon server instance,

post new toots and interact with the various aspects of

Mastodon (replies, favourites, bookmarks, etc.).

Amidon is open-source and licensed under GPL-3.0

Requirements

AmigaOS 3.x
AmiSSL 5.x
MUI 3.9 or newer (but see known issues for newer versions)

The following MUI classes:

TextEditor.mcc
BetterString.mcc (required by TextEditor)
HTMLview.mcc
codesets.library
guigfx.library
render.library (required by guigfx.library)

68020+ CPU
8MB of RAM
An internet connection and a TCP/IP stack running

(cURL will check for bsdsocket.library on startup).

AmiTCP 4, Roadshow or emulators with the bsdsocket.library

option enabled will work.

A web browser will be needed once, for the first

time you authenticate your account

Known issues

It's slow to start-up on a real Amiga. I counted about

13 seconds on an 060/50 MHz from the moment you

double-click on the icon. However, it's rather usable

afterwards, so please be patient!

HTMLview, the MUI class used to display HTML content

in Amidon, has issues with some versions of MUI on

AmigaOS 3.x. It will not show any content on MUI 4 or 5,

so it only works properly on MUI 3.9 currently.

If you don't care about that functionality, you can

of course use MUI 4 or 5 normally otherwise.

HTMLview seems to have issues showing images.
MUI 3.8 also works, but it has several rendering

issues with the content in the listviews, so it's

not recommended.

Due to Hollywood issues, it requires RTG or you

may run into a bug, where the window is shown but

does not respond.
