Jason McBrayer 2e7fc810ac Add support for basic threading.
It works the same as the Mastodon web UI for now - active toot is highlighted,
ancestors displayed in order above, descendants in order below. I hope to
add actual full threading one day.

Brutaldon

Brutaldon is a brutalist, Web 1.0 web interface for Mastodon. It is not a Mastodon-compatible social networking server; rather, it is just a client, like the Android or iOS client for Mastodon you may already be using, but it runs in a web server, and is accessed through a web browser. The web browser that brutaldon targets is Lynx. Of course, you can use it in a more heavy-weight graphical browser, as well as other text browsers such as w3m or elinks.

Brutaldon is not ready for use yet.

Roadmap

  • Single user read-only access; log in and read home timeline
  • Fix edge cases of toot display (CW, media, boosts)
  • Multi-user, multi-instance support
  • Add support for reading local and federated timelines, notifications, favorites, threads
  • Add support for tag timelines
  • Add support for viewing profiles
  • Add support for posting.
  • Add support for posting media.
  • Add support for favoriting and boosting toots.
  • Add support for following, blocking, and muting users.

Aesthetic

No automatic page updates: refresh the page to see new toots. No endless scroll: there's a "next page" link. No autocompletion of anything: use another lynx process in another screen window to look things up. UTF8 clean.
