- Bonfire is not Mastodon, but a new fediverse app based on ActivityPub. The documentation alone is beautiful and comprehensive and some of the concepts they have are really interesting.
Retro is new again
I’ve run across these Mastodon related apps that are super fun to just play around with or just read about. You can tell these devs really love what they’re doing. I’m not sure if these are NEW but they are being actively maintained.
| App Name | Description | Platform |
|---|---|---|
| BREXTODON | Runs in Terminal, ASCII art, etc. | MVS 3.8J |
| Macstodon | Old school Mac Classic design | Runs on Mac OS 7.1 to 9.2.2 |
| toot - Mastodon CLI client | Another terminal based client with lots of functionality |
Many linux based systems I installed with Homebrew on Mac |
| DOStodon | I REALLY want to have this running! | Hardware/VM running MS-DOS |
Bird Site
Ok, this one is not Mastodon - yet anyway. But it’s sooo coool! You have to read the docs at least. Maybe put in a request to move this to Mastodon now the other site’s API is dying.
