Wildbill@mastodon.social@DaNanner Hope you get that chill time. Everything’s been a heck of a lot lately all the way ‘round.

Wildbill@mastodon.social@DaNanner Stupid busy, but the good kind and it’s almost all work. Finally an empty nester - both kids are off at college - dropped the boy off last week. How’re y’all doing?

Wildbill@mastodon.social@DaNanner Whoa. So fast. My daughter got married last May, and I’m still reeling at that one.

@DaNanner Sorry to hear about being overwrought. Hope things get better for you on that front …
Regarding a Mastodon client, Tusker and IceCubes both look great and have different features that I’d want. Plus, they’re both open source (as is MetaText if I’m not mistaken) …
Laurie is looking at Tusker and IceCubes to see which one she likes and then I’m hoping to start adding to the one she likes to create the perfect Mastodon client for our own needs since the code is available. Would be happy to share whatever we end up with if you’d like to try …

@DaNanner Well, Laurie’s currently QA but I’m sure we can expand the QA department 😛
I like that Tusker supports Akkoma out of the box (I had to add that to IceCubes but I’d been working with IceCubes code for a while to get it working on Akkoma and so that wasn’t a huge issue) but Tusker lacks edit functionality while IceCubes has it now …
Tusker has lists and hashtags support but doesn’t seem to pull any hashtags you follow now from anywhere (I haven’t looked at Akkoma API to see if this is possible though ..) while IceCubes has no support for those or even for filtering.
Tusker also has this nifty feature which combines all the boosts for a post in one notification that I haven’t seen anywhere else, but their CW feature seems a bit weird 😛
Source code for either is easy to work with and so I’ve punted the decision as to which one to go with to Laurie and am waiting …
