Been working on a new project the last couple of months and it’s finally ready for beta release!
#Fedimeister is a #Java based #Mastodon client (available for #Linux, #Windows and #MacOS under the Apache #opensource license) with a focus on #writing and #journalism. Features:
* Break long texts into threads
* Scheduled posting
* Hashtag research
* #Twitter quote tweeting emulation
@raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse this looks interesting. I tried to set it up, but it seems to refuse my URL and Profile. It gives me error message that it can’t parse the URL during setup. Is there a way to report bugs?

@raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse My work computer blocked its installation so I might wait for the full version. Would love to schedule toots.
@raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse interesting and TY will check out
@raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse Do you have a link to your SCM? Would be cool to check out the source code.
@raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse Vielen Dank für die Arbeit. 😘 ich freue mich sehr.
@raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse
Interesting, I may give it a try but there is no link to the source code on the web site.
@raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse it looks like one of those corporate custom-made software for internal use only from the 00’s, awesome
@raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse All that I’m curious about now: Why is it “Microsoft Windows”, but not “‘Apple’ Mac OS”? haha 😊 😆
@gaycookie @raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse after reading the semantic debate you’re pursuing, here’s my TL;dr: ya’ll are weird. English is weird. Apparently these two flavors of weird are mutually-incompatible.
Take care.
@cascheranno @raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse
Power to the people, fuck English! 😆
@raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse All that aside. It looks amazing so far, keep up the good work!
@gaycookie @raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse MacOS only comes on Apple devices whereas Windows comes on things Microsoft doesn’t make?
@freakinbox @raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse Yes but no, it doesn’t matter what device it is on. No matter what device, it is indeed Microsoft’s Windows but MacOS can (not easy) also be installed on non-Apple devices but it will still be Apple’s MacOS.
@gaycookie @raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse “Comes on” as in out of the box.
You can buy many devices not made by Microsoft that come with Windows preinstalled, this is not the case with MacOS.
@freakinbox @raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse Yes, but you install the application on the OS, and it does not matter how the OS got there xD
And since it is STILL developed by Apple. And if you name “Microsoft”, why not mention “Apple” xD
@gaycookie @raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse Then why not have every main distro of Linux listed?
I offered you a possible reason and you seem more concerned with avoiding admitting that you misread what I said and focused more on arguing instead…
“And since it is STILL developed by Apple. And if you name “Microsoft”, why not mention “Apple” xD” - See my original toot reply to you for a possible reason why :)
Even Wikipedia seems to name them as such
@gaycookie @raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse whereas it’s Mac Operating systems regarding Mac OS
It’s an OS for a Macintosh, now just called a “Mac” 🤷

@marquiskurt @freakinbox @raccoon @fediverse But my whole point was why “Microsoft” is there, not why there is no “Apple” there xD
Since we all know MacOS is part of Apple and we all know Windows is part of Microsoft.
😊
@gaycookie @marquiskurt @raccoon @fediverse I believe the key thing to note here is that it doesn’t say “Microsoft’s” it says “Microsoft”

@marquiskurt @gaycookie @raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse at least until Vista the loading screen said “Microsoft Windows” from 3.1 to XP.
@raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse Oooh, poked the quote-posting bear. You’re going to get the mastodon version of an internet stoning, in other words, we will shake our heads and say we’re disappointed
@raccoon
I’d love to run this. How can I persuade MacOS to launch the software (‘not from a certified developer’)?@raccoon @fediversenews @fediverse the break into short chunks is a thing i’ve wanted for awhile, but want it as part of a blog app.
Then you could direct link the resulting short posts, and use replies to them like comments. It’d be great!
I’m not sure how that would work. The 500 char limit is a Mastodon, not an ActivityPub thing. So, if you federate your blog, there’s no need to break articles into chunks.
(I did plan on adding an export function, though that allows you to save the chunks as individual txt files for further processing).
@raccoon I read a lot of full length blogs (like Doctorow) in threaded form. I like the idea of being able to go in either direction.
I also like the idea of each statement being broken up into their own piece that can individually be commented on and discussed.
Hm, so what would the workflow be here? Write a blog article, then break it up with Fedimeister and republish on Mastodon? Write it in Fedimeister to begin with, then somehow export to your blog?
(do you have a sample of a Doctorow blog post, in article and thread style?)
Correct workflow:
- use an instance with enough allowed characters. (They are existing!)
@𝗝𝗮𝗸𝗼𝗯 :𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮: 🇦🇹 ✅ @Patrick, the Linux guy Better yet:
- Use something that isn’t Mastodon, and that has all the features implemented by default that #Fedimeister tries to imitate
