I've been hacking on it a lot this week, with my silly human hands, and it's been a lot of fun! Right now, it can only read threads from Mastodon, and only output Markdown, but both directions could be extended. To try it out, I've been using it to publish one blog post each day this week – you might have noticed! :D

@blinry Now that sounds like something that could help me make some sense of my incoherent fedi ramblings :neobot_giggle:

@blinry thanks for building this! 💙 Can I ask what prompted this tool? Did you want local copies of "all things about a mast post and replies", so as to allow for an offline thought curation? Or other goals? 👀 Asking as I had similar thoughts of need - and saw this on fedi! Thanks again! 🙇♀️

@blinry If you use the #FediDev hash-tag, you'll reach other Fediverse developers.

@blinry Instead of splitting writings, I suggest increasing the #MAX_CHARS setting of your #mastodon instance.

@khzimmer2@literatur.social 2026-04-12 18:16
@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?

@waffles@masto.yttrx.com 2026-04-12 18:17
@blinry any consideration to making this a tool to archive your feed? I’ve been thinking it would be nice to have a static website of my toots for if/when it stops making sense to maintain a dynamic mastodon server to serve this content.

@blinry@chaos.social is it fedi standard or mastodon exclusive?

@pierstoval@mastodon.social 2026-04-12 18:56
@blinry Does it mean that it's time for me to say that I've created a small CLI tool in PHP to list your threads in HTML files? https://codeberg.org/pierstoval/mastothreads I mean, it's still a prototype, but it's definitely worth having IMO.

@blinry@chaos.social Thanks for this app. I thought there was a web-based version somewhere. I used it sometime ago. Do you want to make it a plugin/extension/webapp/Mastodon feature?

@blinry grand little tool, and just what I need to help in copy/pasting text from toots! Could do with a Usage message, if I may say so. 🙂 $ ~/.cargo/bin/threadcat thread 'main' (89252287) panicked at
