Say hello to `threadcat`! 🧶🐱
It's a little Rust tool which takes the URL to a Mastodon thread, and converts it to a Markdown file. It also downloads all attached media files (and their alt texts)!
That way, it's really easy to get a "first draft" for a blog post from a thread you wrote!
Installation: `cargo install threadcat`
I've been hacking on it a lot this week, with my silly human hands, and it's been a lot of fun!
Right now, it can only read threads from Mastodon, and only output Markdown, but both directions could be extended.
To try it out, I've been using it to publish one blog post each day this week – you might have noticed! :D
Today's post is about DIY soft drinks! It's from when I started making my own cola and orange soda, and invented an "almond soda" that tastes like marzipan! :)
Still thinking about what ingredients would go in a DIY Mountain Dew, or a DIY Fassbrause…
