Say hello to `threadcat`!

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!
Today's post is about DIY soft drinks! It's from when I started making my own cola and orange soda, and invented an "almond soda" that tastes like marzipan!
Still thinking about what ingredients would go in a DIY Mountain Dew, or a DIY Fassbrause…

@blinry I've been looking at a couple of soda and sirup recipes that call for essential oils. Anything to look out for when ordering them (in Europe)?

Say hello to `threadcat`! 🧶
It's a little Rust tool which takes the URL to a Mastodon thread, and converts it to a Markdown file. It also downloads all attached media files (and their alt texts)!
That way, it's really easy to get a "first draft" for a blog post from a thread you wrote!
Installation: `cargo install threadcat`
@blinry Now that sounds like something that could help me make some sense of my incoherent fedi ramblings

someone reverse engineered the coca cola recipe a few months ago, his recipe might interest you.

@trrektor Oh, why?

@trrektor Ohhh :'D That makes sense! Take care!

@hmnd @blinry @Westfuchs Not sure what you use for the carbonation, but I make fizzy water with baking soda and citric acid (available in the US in the home canning section of stores).

@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!

@trrektor it's not the weirdest thing in rust syntax anyway
My personal favourite is:
if (return) {
return return return;
}(yes, this is valid rust code: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2024&gist=96e712dcff64081c3b48e411b82bf22d )

@blinry you seem to have good hu-man hands, their output looks very hu-man indeed

️@nicksilkey Mainly wanting to quickly put together a blogpost version of the random threads I wrote!
It's fun: "Microblogging" an event for example, comes easy to me. And then, when you're ready, you can pull that content together and publish it on the blog.

@blinry I love how wonderfully specific this tool is!

@blinry Nice
️But till now I got a thread containing just one toot, and this output:
"Note: Thread might be cut off due to Mastodon's API limits. Provide an ACCESS_TOKEN via environment variable to make authenticated requests."How to solve this?

@c_merriweather @hmnd @blinry For carbonated water I usually go for a SodaStream machine (or similar non-branded device).
Du you put the baking soda & citric acid in the bottle and seal it?

@harbeider I wrote a section about that in the README: https://codeberg.org/blinry/threadcat
Please check if that explanation helps – if not, feel free to ask again, and maybe I can improve the description!
