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`
@blinry thanks for building this! 💙
Can I ask what prompted this tool? Did you want local copies of "all things about a mast post and replies", so as to allow for an offline thought curation? Or other goals? 👀
Asking as I had similar thoughts of need - and saw this on fedi! Thanks again! 🙇♀️
@nicksilkey Mainly wanting to quickly put together a blogpost version of the random threads I wrote!
It's fun: "Microblogging" an event for example, comes easy to me. And then, when you're ready, you can pull that content together and publish it on the blog. :)
