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

Correct me if I am wrong:

You wrote a tool that enables people to download complete Mastodon threads from other participants / on other instances?

So that's NOT made for collecting OWN content, but for other people's content?

One question:

Isn't that called STEALING?

@khzimmer2 Yeah it is and I'm stealing your reply with my eye-tools as we speak!
