How am I just now learning about steampipe and the mastodon plugin for it? 🤯

@jerry new mastodon client idea: you can only browse posts via SQL queries.

SELECT timestamp,author,content FROM public_feed

@Sidneys1 @jerry There's a Steampipe dashboard that works that way, I demoed it at the last FediForum: https://jonudell.info/video/fediforum.mp4

I wrote a whole bunch of posts about it.

It turns out not to be super-practical going against the live Mastodon API, because rate limits. So I'm working on a version that uses scheduled queries to cache data so the dashboards can run instantly.
