Started developing a desktop Mastodon client in my free time over the holidays. It's still very much a work in progress but I've focused on some key features so far:

• Theme-able – user customizable theme inspired by #ArcBrowser
• Navigation – back, forward, history and global search bar
• Large card previews
• Quote statuses – autodetects Mastodon status links and provides inline preview
• External followers / following – view all of someones followers even if they aren't downloaded to your instance
• Offline backup – will keep a full backup of your posts, following, bookmarks, etc. that could later be used if your instance suddenly goes offline
• Follower suggestions (WIP) – provide Followgraph type functionality to suggest followers
• Offline search (WIP) – provide autocomplete fuzzy search offline for account lookup, bookmarks, etc.

Notably missing is the ability to write a post but like I said it's a work in progress. Focused my attention so far on navigation and things that the web client lacks (live search, external followers, quote statuses, etc.) #WIP

@davisml What language/frameworks are you using?
Show threadMark DavisDec 28, 2022
@essteeyou Electron + Typescript. Backend handles data storage and communicates through IPC. Frontend is react and uses react query to request data.
