Post Description

Web only at the moment. Very opinionated and geared toward what I was looking for in a client. But, who knows, maybe there is one other person out there?

TerminalRant – Mastodon for developers who live in the terminal

The app nails a terminal-native workflow: vim-style navigation, composer backed by $EDITOR, optimistic posting, and per-post media metadata with planned ANSI image thumbnails. The feature list (tabs for hashtag/home/trending, inline moderation, persistent UI state) shows careful UX thinking for keyboard-first use, but this is an evolution of an existing idea rather than a new category — streaming, customizable keymaps, or richer media handling would make it stand out more.
