Amidon is a Mastodon native client for computers 
(or emulators) running AmigaOS 3.x. It allows the user 
to connect and authenticate with a Mastodon server instance, 
post new toots and interact with the various aspects of 
Mastodon (replies, favourites, bookmarks, etc.).

Amidon is open-source and licensed under GPL-3.0

Requirements

* AmigaOS 3.x
* AmiSSL 5.x
* MUI 3.9 or newer (but see known issues for newer versions)

The following MUI classes:
* TextEditor.mcc
* BetterString.mcc (required by TextEditor)
* HTMLview.mcc
* codesets.library
* guigfx.library
* render.library (required by guigfx.library)

* 68020+ CPU
* 8MB of RAM
* An internet connection and a TCP/IP stack running 
  (cURL will check for bsdsocket.library on startup). 
  AmiTCP 4, Roadshow or emulators with the bsdsocket.library 
  option enabled will work.
* A web browser will be needed once, for the first 
  time you authenticate your account

Known issues

* It's slow to start-up on a real Amiga. I counted about 
  13 seconds on an 060/50 MHz from the moment you 
  double-click on the icon. However, it's rather usable 
  afterwards, so please be patient!
* HTMLview, the MUI class used to display HTML content 
  in Amidon, has issues with some versions of MUI on 
  AmigaOS 3.x. It will not show any content on MUI 4 or 5, 
  so it only works properly on MUI 3.9 currently. 
  If you don't care about that functionality, you can 
  of course use MUI 4 or 5 normally otherwise.
* HTMLview seems to have issues showing images.
* MUI 3.8 also works, but it has several rendering 
  issues with the content in the listviews, so it's 
  not recommended.
* Due to Hollywood issues, it requires RTG or you 
  may run into a bug, where the window is shown but 
  does not respond.
