Tinmop is an opinionated client for
Pleroma (using the mastodon API) and
gemini protocol. It offer a
distraction free terminal interface.
The name is a recursive acronym: “Tinmop Is Not Mutt or Pine”. The
older of us can remember that, in turn, Pine is sometimes considered
an acronym as well: “Pine Is Not Elm” and, finally, Elm means
(according to Wikipedia): “Electronic Mail”.
no mentions notification, no knowledge of when or who favourited
your status;
No blocking or muting, the client can be configured to ignore
a list of accounts.
Important note
This is alpha quality software, many things are broken, some
feature are missing some works with unintended/unexpected side
effects; this software is for testing only and remember that there
is NO WARRANTY.
Dependency
Programs
for running the program:
SBCL compiler;
xdg-open;
your favourite editor (default: nano).
to install the package, including running the script to install
lisp libraries (quick_quicklisp.sh):
GNU AWK (Gawk);
BASH shell.

Install
optional step needed only if you have not already the configure script,
you will need autotools for that.
$ autoreconf -fiv
run configure and resolve the missing dependencies (if any)
$ ./configure
the script quick-quicklisp.sh will download and install the library manager and the
library on your home dir.
$ ./quick_quicklisp.sh
This step is optional if you have already installed quicklisp, in
this case just load the dependencies
using the client installed on your computer.
clone in $HOME/quicklisp/local-projects/ the latest version of
tooter, a library to access mastodon API.
This step is temporary as this version will get into quicklisp eventually.
This program is released under GNU General Public license version 3
or later (see COPYING file).
The program use data and code from other sources, please see
LICENSES.org for credits.
Although any efforts has been put to make the list of credits
exhaustive, errors are always possible. Please send correction to
cage-dev at twistfold dot it.
Privacy
The author of this software collects no user data information with
this software.
But this software is a client to connect and interact to one or more
remote computer. So potentially it could share a lot of information
with other actors but just after the user allowed it to do so.
It is the user responsibility to checks the privacy conditions of the
instance this software connect to.
Unfortunately no, the way some API endpoint provide the toots is
not suitable for this client, for more information please go
here.
I hope this will change in the future but this depends entirely
from the people are developing the server.
I just tried to start the program for the first time but it give
me a weird error, what’s wrong?
Did you wrote a configuration file before starting?
Tinmop expects a configuration file in your config directory
(usually $HOME/.config/tinmop/). This file must contains at
least the username and the name of the instance you want to
connect. If this file does not exists or is invalid tinmop will
refuse to start.
Please check the man page (tinmop(1)) for more information.
OK the program is running but how can i use it?
Press the key ? to get a list of the available keys available.
Please also, if possible, send the backtrace of the process. To
print a backtrace just write backtrace when the debugger has
been invoked.
Important note
The backtrace can contains sensitive and personal information,
please always carefully checks the backtrace contents before
making this information public!
Are the encrypted messages secure?
No. First only a symmetric encryption scheme is implemented (so
there is a problem of secure key exchanging). Moreover i am not a
crypto expert and probably i made something wrong. Note that i am
not claiming that the algorithm (AES256) or the implementation of
such encrypting algorithm is flawed but that, likely, is flawed
the code i wrote to use the crypto library in this software.
So, please do not consider the encrypted message secure at all.

Acknowledgment
My deep thanks to the folks that provided us with wonderful SBCL and
Common lisp libraries.
In particular i want to thanks the authors of the libraries Croatoan
and Tooter for their help when I started to develop this program.
There are more people i borrowed code and data from, they are
mentioned in the file LINCENSES.org
This program is was born also with the help of CCCP: “Collettivo
Computer Club Palermo”.
Also thanks to “barbar” for testing of the installation scripts.
