  1. #Macstodon now runs in the latest bleeding-edge build of the Snow emulator! And if you use Snow's built-in HTTPS stripping, then you don't have to configure WebOne or another proxy, just install Macstodon and start using it 😎

    Thanks @twvd for the FPU fixes and all the other hard work you put into Snow! This is the kick-in-the-pants I need to get the next version of Macstodon out the door πŸ™‚

  2. Testing ZigZagJoe's IIsi Booster 2.0 accelerator- Here are some screenshots of the gains. #Macstodon is loading up toots like a boss now πŸ˜ƒ #Mac #VintageMac #68k

  3. Updated the #Macstodon roadmap today.

    It's been a long time since I've touched it, but things slowed down a little bit at my day job this week and I'm getting the itch to do some retro programming again.

    I need to tackle the longstanding Mastodon 4.3+ auth issue and I think I'm just going to build a wizard-type interface with screenshots that show you what you need to click (on a modern machine) in order to create an auth token manually.

    Also it would be nice to support the new quote posts feature. And polls. And maybe even attachments.

    I gave up on the REALBasic/FutureBasic rewrite - it was too difficult to do that and still maintain System 7 & 68K support (and also because someone else is working on a Mac Mastodon client in REALBasic for later OS versions).

    I do still want to rewrite it in Micropython but that’ll be a LONG way away and is dependent on Micropython getting all of MacPython's features.

    Anyway, hopefully I'll have more to share in a few days/weeks.

  4. For those not following #m68kMicroPython development, a lot has been happening rather quickly in the last couple of weeks!

    There's enough support for the Toolbox now that I've been able to re-create the #Macstodon splash/loading screen with it - see below.

    Big thanks to @stylus for all his hard work developing the port and making this possible!
