This is my rough roadmap for #Macstodon:
(no guarantees on ANY of it though, depends on how long I keep interest without burning out or getting bored, and what's technically possible with MacPython)
Note: development is very slow at the moment because I am doing a lot of coding at my day job and don't want to also do it in my free time.
1.3
- figure out a workaround for logging into mastodon 4.3
1.4
- text-to-speech for alt text in images/attachments
- support for voting in polls, MAYBE for creating them
- MAYBE post attachments?
2.0
- look into porting the whole thing from MacPython to REALBasic or FutureBasic?
- MAYBE multiple account support?
- MAYBE bluesky support?

Hi, 👋
I'm Scott! #Introduction
I'm a technology enthusiast from Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. By day I build software used to run #Genomics labs in #Python. I've also worked with #Lua and #PHP in the past. I've worked professionally as a web developer for fifteen years but I've been programming since I was eight (started with #HyperCard)!
I love #RetroComputing, especially old #Apple / #Mac stuff. I own a IIfx, an SE, and a IIgs which I use for #RetroProgramming and #RetroGaming. I even wrote a Mastodon app, #Macstodon, for vintage Mac OS!
I recently picked up an #Amiga #A500 as well, which I'm still learning how to use.
When I'm not #programming at work or on side projects I enjoy #gaming and watching #anime.
I also have a passion for #Travel, and have visited four continents and over twenty-six countries! My profile picture is from a visit to Cuba in 2019.
My other interests include #Camping, #Coffee, #Dogs, #Reading, and #TableTennis.
Nice to meet you all!
