I am working on a new project, called minimitra.

It's a FEP-ae97 client that implements Mastodon API. Minimitra is similar to Mitra, but it is designed to run as a desktop application and supports portable accounts. That means: offline-first, full identity/data ownership, Tor/I2P friendly.

Currently minimitra can only send and receive public messages, but I expect that porting features will not be difficult because most of the code will be shared.

Other limitations / downsides:

- Requires postgresql server.
- Can't post to multiple gateways.
- No cross-client portability.

Fortunately, all of that can be fixed!

@lain We need to figure out what to do when one of the peers is offline. Other than that, the protocol is ready for p2p.

In my current setup activities are stored and distributed by server(s), similar to Nostr.

@silverpill isn’t it just doing retries until things go through?

@lain This is not ideal. Some people (including myself) may need or want to be offline most of the time.
