Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
This ticket is a feature request to let users use brutaldon without having to login.
Why?
Mastodon requires JavaScript. Some users have requested mastodon to remove this requirement, but mastodon's response was "won't fix". Moreover, they said that a third-party could implement a javascript-free alternative frontend for JavaScript.
As far as I know, brutaldon is the only mastodon frontend that doesn't require JavaScript
The problem
I just want to be able to view someone's profile on mastodon in a browser without JavaScript -- something like nitter for twitter.
Currently, I have to login to use brutaldon? That's too much, man.
The solution
It would be great if the main page of brutaldon had two sections
For example, consider the UX of nitter:
It would be wonderful if brutaldon could be used like this for mastodon
I will look into this when I have some free time - I've got work, and kids, and other hobby projects, but this has been requested before.
My biggest concern is that with Authorized Fetch, it may be necessary to have a bot user just for the purpose of read-only use. Not every brutaldon installation will want to do this, and it's also a bigger change than just going through and adding a read-only flag. Still, I'll let it percolate and see if I get an itch to work on it.
