Short: A Mastodon client for Amiga Author: midwan@gmail.com (Dimitris Panokostas) Uploader: polluks+aminet sdf org (Stefan Haubenthal) Type: comm/net Version: 1.3 Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 3.0.0 Distribution: Aminet URL: https://mastodon.social/@midwan Amidon is a Mastodon native client for computers (or emulators) running AmigaOS 3.x. It allows the user to connect and authenticate with a Mastodon server instance, post new toots and interact with the various aspects of Mastodon (replies, favourites, bookmarks, etc.). Amidon is open-source and licensed under GPL-3.0 Requirements * AmigaOS 3.x * AmiSSL 5.x * MUI 3.9 or newer (but see known issues for newer versions) The following MUI classes: * TextEditor.mcc * BetterString.mcc (required by TextEditor) * HTMLview.mcc * codesets.library * guigfx.library * render.library (required by guigfx.library) * 68020+ CPU * 8MB of RAM * An internet connection and a TCP/IP stack running (cURL will check for bsdsocket.library on startup). AmiTCP 4, Roadshow or emulators with the bsdsocket.library option enabled will work. * A web browser will be needed once, for the first time you authenticate your account The sources of Amidon are available on Github: https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amidon If you have any requests, would like to report any issues or help make Amidon better by contributing, visit: https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amidon/issues Known issues * It's slow to start-up on a real Amiga. I counted about 13 seconds on an 060/50 MHz from the moment you double-click on the icon. However, it's rather usable afterwards, so please be patient! * HTMLview, the MUI class used to display HTML content in Amidon, has issues with some versions of MUI on AmigaOS 3.x. It will not show any content on MUI 4 or 5, so it only works properly on MUI 3.9 currently. If you don't care about that functionality, you can of course use MUI 4 or 5 normally otherwise. * HTMLview seems to have issues showing images. * MUI 3.8 also works, but it has several rendering issues with the content in the listviews, so it's not recommended. * Due to Hollywood issues, it requires RTG or you may run into a bug, where the window is shown but does not respond.
