I wanted to make a thread, where we can share which programs we use under Haiku, in case there is no native application available[1]
I’m not a fan of doing everything in a browser, and I prefer Haikus way of using dedicated tools to finish my job.
So let’s start with mastodon. There are some CLI programs out there like: GitHub - ihabunek/toot: toot - Mastodon CLI & TUI
(I didn’t find the time to test this one out yet…)
But the one I tried and I’m using is: martianh/mastodon.el: Emacs client for Mastodon - mastodon.el - Codeberg.org
It’s an extension for emacs and it works really well under Haiku!
The only downside I see so far, is that it is for the use with emacs. So if one is not familiar with this editor, it can be a bit hard to setup.
Hope this thread grows with more interesting tools which can be used as “workarounds” in case we don’t have native programs available. And I hope this makes Haiku usable for the people who say “But I cant use it without X”
Cheers!
