a mastodon client for palmOS

recipe introduction (skip this) Compared to today’s beautifully packaged and highly sanitized offerings, the pre-iPhone handheld market was the wild west. Huge varieties of form factors were being explored, and the devices which could potentially be replaced by a PDA ranged from MP3 or MiniDisc players, a pad of paper, a GameBoy, an IR TV remote, a cell phone, a gps unit, or even a projector controller. Sadly, the coherent packaging of all of these features in a stylus-free and easy to use device with a centralized app store proved to be the magic bullet Palm was searching for. Apple beat them to the punch, and the rest is history. Working with the palmOS dinosaurs is still enjoyable though; they’re a fascinating window into a past that had a very different idea of the future.
