Trumpet

What is Trumpet?

Trumpet is a new WIP client for Mastodon. Right now it is CLI-only, but a GTK+ gui using gtk-rs is planned.

Why Trumpet?

When getting started with Mastodon, I found that the only useable application for Linux was an electron app using an indicator. Given that GNOME is phasing out appindicators and I personally resent running more than one electron app at once, I decided to make one myself. Since a Rust API wrapper already existed, I decided to take the opportunity to learn the language while I worked.

What can it do?

Right now the features Trumpet supports are:

Multiple instances
Multiple accounts per instance
Text-only statuses
Public timeline viewing
Viewing instance information

What's next?

Features I am working on now:

Home timeline viewing (Issues to work out on the Mammut end)
Emoji support
GTK GUI
