Brutaldon

Note: If you are seeing this on Github, this repo is a mirror that may not be up-to-date. Please go to https://gitlab.com/brutaldon/brutaldon for the latest code.

Brutaldon is a brutalist, Web 1.0 web interface for Mastodon and Pleroma. It is not a Mastodon-compatible social networking server; rather, it is just a client, like the Android or iOS client for Mastodon you may already be using, but it runs in a web server, and is accessed through a web browser. It works great in text-mode browsers such as Lynx, w3m, or elinks, and also in more heavy-weight graphical browsers, such as Firefox. It works completely without JavaScript, but if JavaScript is available and enabled, it will be used to unobtrusively enhance the user experience.

There is a hosted instance at brutaldon.org which you can use to log in to any instance. However, you are also encouraged to run your own, either locally or on a public server.

Brutaldon is ready for day to day use. It is still missing some features you might want, like lists, filters, and editing your own profile. Please see the issues tracker.

People love screenshots, whatever the project, so here we are. These screenshots are relatively old.

Roadmap

  • Single user read-only access; log in and read home timeline
  • Fix edge cases of toot display (CW, media, boosts)
  • Multi-user, multi-instance support
  • Add support for reading local and federated timelines, notifications, favorites, threads
  • Add support for tag timelines
  • Add support for viewing profiles
  • Add support for posting.
  • Add support for posting media.
  • Add support for favoriting and boosting toots.
  • Add support for following, blocking, and muting users.

Aesthetic

Brutaldon seeks to be a minimalist activity-pub client, taking visual and functional inspiration from the web of the 90s. HTML only websites are quite usable actually. Very little CSS and javascript should be used to polish the edges of a powerful and robust tool.

  • Brutaldon will function without javascript.
  • Brutaldon will function without css.
  • No automatic page updates.
  • UTF8 clean.
