A lightweight but modern Mastodon client for the desktop

Telephant

A lightweight but modern Mastodon client for the desktop, written in Go & QML.

Features

• Live feed via Mastodon's Streaming API
• Multi pane support
• Linux/macOS/Windows (Android & iOS should be working, but aren't tested yet)
• Media previews
• Shortened URL resolving
• System notifications
• Direct messages
• Multiple accounts (work-in-progress)
• Support for more networks

Installation

Packages & Binaries

• Arch Linux: telephant-git
• Ubuntu 64bit Binary
• Linux Static 64bit Binary
• Windows 64bit Binary

Ubuntu

Note that Telephant requires Qt >=5.12 installed. This means it currently doesn't support Ubuntu <19.04 or Linux Mint.

You need to install the following dependencies to run the Ubuntu binary:

apt install libqt5gui5 libqt5qml5 libqt5quickcontrols2-5 libqt5multimedia5-plugins \
            qml-module-qtquick2 qml-module-qtmultimedia qml-module-qtquick-layouts \
            qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-controls2 \
            qml-module-qtquick-window2 qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects \
            qml-module-qtquick-dialogs qml-module-qt-labs-folderlistmodel \
            qml-module-qt-labs-settings

From Source

Make sure you have a working Go environment (Go 1.9 or higher is required). See the install instructions.

You will also need Qt5 >=5.12 and its development headers installed.

Dependencies (Ubuntu example)

apt-get --no-install-recommends install build-essential git libglib2.0-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libpulse-dev
apt-get --no-install-recommends install libqt*5-dev qt*5-dev qt*5-doc-html qml-module-qtquick*
apt-get install qml-module-qtmultimedia qml-module-qt-labs-folderlistmodel qml-module-qt-labs-settings

Building Telephant

export QT_PKG_CONFIG=true
go get -u -v -tags=no_env github.com/therecipe/qt/cmd/...
go get -d -u -v github.com/muesli/telephant
cd $(go env GOPATH)/src/github.com/muesli/telephant
$(go env GOPATH)/bin/qtdeploy build desktop .

Within a Docker Container

Follow the build instructions above, but instead of the last command, run:

$(go env GOPATH)/bin/qtdeploy -docker build linux

Run it

./deploy/linux/telephant

telephant's Issues

macOS: support retina display

When I am using the highDPI display setting on my Macbook, Icons and Profile pictures look blurry compared to the text and menus.

Scrolling problem

When scrolling through the columns and then letting go the pointer (I use a TrackPoint on a ThinkPad), probably more than half the time the view "bounces" back, like I have reached the bottom of the column, even though i have not. This is regardless of Media Content within the columns

Replies don't load when opening posts

Title explains it all. Only the post being opened is loaded. No replies, nor the posts above it in the case of opening a reply to another post, ever get shown.

Tested using the prebuilt binary on Xubuntu 18.04.

Edit: Specifically, this seems to happen with posts from instances other than the one the account is on. Loading up my own thread works fine, as does other same-instance communication.

Toots not posting with privacy "unlisted" and hashtags

Ok, so the combination of hashtag + unlisted privacy makes no sense, but I stumbled across this behavior accidentally.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Hit New Post button.
2. Enter "#test"
3. Click Post.

If privacy is set to "unlisted" by default, the toot will not post. Bringing up the New Post window again shows the same contents as before ("#test").

Empty timeline

And now after fixing #42 (which does work, btw, so thank you), I've run into another issue. The window is now being created, but nothing is showing in the timeline. (See attached screenshot.)

It's clear by the terminal output that it's fetching the individual statuses, but for whatever reason, it's not making it to the GUI.

Edit: I should add that there are no error messages in the terminal output this time.

Add installing + configuring pkg-config to README instructions

When following the README compilation instructions without having Go or anything related already installed before, the last step (build) will fail because of a missing "pkg-config" installation, at least on Windows 10.

Error:

cmd="pkg-config --modversion Qt5Core" dir= env= error="exec: \"pkg-config\": executable file not found in %PATH%" name=cgo.LinuxPkgConfig_modVersion

Once downloaded and added to path it seems to complain about not finding the Qt5Core package here as well, not sure if that is just me doing something wrong (e.g. faulty Qt installation).

Error:

cmd="pkg-config --modversion Qt5Core" dir= env= error="exit status 1" name=cgo.LinuxPkgConfig_modVersion
Package Qt5Core was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing 'Qt5Core.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'Qt5Core' found`

If this is not actually a user error made by me, then I recommend adding notes on how to avoid this to the readme.

macOS: Quitting/Closing the app does not work properly

When I want to close telephant on macOS, the window disappears but the App still exists in the dock. Relaunching it does not work because it is in an "Not responding" state. (see Screenshot)

Here are the logs I am getting in the terminal:

Support for emojis

We should at least add a set of standard emojis. Some instances even support custom emojis.

URLs are counted wrong for toot length

Mastodon is supposed to treat all links as 23 characters long when determining toot length, but Telephant counts each character.

multi-account support

Feature request:
Some method of switching between already authorized accounts without requesting a new auth token, or perhaps mixing feeds.

I don't know for sure if you planned this for later, but it's something I'd hope happens.

Media View Window

Currently, clicked pictures and media are opened in the browser, which might be many Spaces away. An in-app view window for pictures would be very nice.

Auto complete account names

When starting to type "@username" in a post, start auto-completing the username.

The authorisation token link doesn't seem to be going to the correct URL?

In trying to get an authorisation code, I found that instead of bringing up the authorisation request page, it was simply opening a new tab and going straight /web/getting_started. I was able to get around this by instead copying the URL generated in the console output and pasting it into Firefox and that worked A-OK.

I'm guessing the URL used in the POST request might be getting malformed or something? I'm not sure, because around that point, there wasn't any other feedback.

Async loading of accounts and tweets

Content currently freezes the UI completely (Mac OS, 10.14.4) when it's loading from the server. Not sure if it's just my garbage internet connection, but having the main content window appear with even a loading indicator might make the UX slightly more fluid.

Doesn't display a window in Ubuntu

I'm not sure what the deal is, but I haven't been able to get Telephant to work since that first day when we did all that stuff figuring out the Ubuntu dependencies to get it working. There was a couple weeks in between that day and the next time I used it, so there's a decent time window in which things could've broken.

In regards to symptoms, the background process works fine, giving me system notifications for new mentions and stuff, but there's nothing in the foreground. No window or anything ever shows up. When launched outside the terminal, I have to kill it via the task manager. Luckily I can kill it with a simple CTRL-C in the terminal, though.

As for how it's broken, I'm not entirely sure. I don't know if the app simply doesn't update properly when I re-run the instructions or if the app actually broke.

I am getting an error message in the terminal, if it helps:

QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/qml/telephant.qml:2 module "QtQuick.Controls" version 2.5 is not installed

Beyond that, I have nothing.

Conversation View

When clicking on replies, i want to see the conversation, not just in the browser, but in chirp itself.

Search Functionality is Limited

Search appears to be limited to usernames and toots that either you sent or someone sent to you.

Searching for tags (e.g. #floss, #supercollider, etc.) yield no results, even though clicking on a Tag in someone's comment brings up a bunch of toots for each one.

Similarly, if I were to look at a toot from in my home feed (one that I did not send out or one that I was addressed in) and then search for a word in that toot, that toot will not show up in the results. Again, the only toots that will come up are ones where I tooted using that word or someone addressed me and tooted that word.

I am requesting the Search Functionality be expanded accordingly.

Compiling on arm

I'm compiling telephant on arm with go version go1.8 linux/arm

when doing go get -u -v I get:

github.com/therecipe/qt/quickcontrols2
../../therecipe/qt/quickcontrols2/quickcontrols2.cpp:9:22: fatal error: QByteArray: No such file or directory
 #include <QByteArray>

 #include <QAbstractAnimation>
                              ^
compilation terminated.

Layout of error message popup is broken

Error message popup doesn't resize to fit its contents.

Hate Instance Blacklist

Given the recent discourse regarding Gab, I'm wondering about implementing a blacklist so that instances like Gab, Free Speech Extremist, etc. can't connect via your app. Their intolerance of marginalized groups should be met with equal intolerance, after all.

Add text in compose window explaining drag-and-drop media upload functionality

I was actually unaware of the ability to upload images via drag-and-drop functionality until I saw another issue report pertaining to it. Having a little bit of text below the line in the compose window explaining the feature like GitHub does in these compose windows would be extremely helpful because the feature isn't documented anywhere else, and the best way is to have it documented right there imo.

Document dependencies

I'm trying to build a Linux distribution package, and would appreciate more exact dependency information.

So far, in the binary packages, I've found:

1. Without libpulse.so.0 (from PulseAudio or apulse) the application refuses to start.
2. With a current OpenSSL (v1.1.0j), the application starts, but only text content is displayed, no icons or embedded images. Errors look like:

qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket: cannot resolve CRYPTO_num_locks
qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket: cannot resolve CRYPTO_set_id_callback
qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket: cannot resolve CRYPTO_set_locking_callback

qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSLeay
qt.network.ssl: Incompatible version of OpenSSL
qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket::connectToHostEncrypted: TLS initialization failed

When installing an old v1.0.2r OpenSSL, it works as intended. OpenSSL had a substantial API break between v1.0 and v1.1.

Add support for posting media

Should be able to add images / movies to a post.

Add notifications

Show (desktop) notifications when certain events arrive.

Delete and Redraft option

Just a nice quality-of-life feature - being able to delete a toot and preserve the content for editing :)

Use Flutter

I used to use golang with QT but changed to using Flutter with golang.
Why ?
All Desktops and Mobiles from the SAME codebase.
Much easier going forward because there are so many plugins for Flutter.
There is really NOTHING to change between Mobile and Desktop.
If the Mobile uses a plugin that relies on a swift or java lib, you can easily support the plugin for Desktop too because the API is identical, and because for Desktop you write the plugin in golang its normally easy to support.
For a Great example of this look at PDF and Printing, which is really hard normally.
Fluttter Widgets can output to PDF (https://github.com/DavBfr/dart_pdf) . SO you can print on Mobile and Desktop.
But the Printer API varies. But you can easily support this on Desktop by just writing a bit of CGO code for desktops and your done.

I would really be interested in adapting the current code for Flutter if the team want it.

The Flutter Desktop system:
https://github.com/go-flutter-desktop/go-flutter

The only change is to add a main_desktop.dart.

Attaching media via drag/drop isn't working on Windows

As reported by [email protected]:

Impossible to select text from posts.

I cant seem to be able to select text, not in pane mode nor in selected post mode. Any reason for this?

Make theme & accent configurable

Should at least support light & dark Material themes.

Support delete events

Delete messages from model when they get deleted on the server.

Impossible to open posts with images but no text

Any posts containing images, but without any text are impossible to expand into conversation view.

Mastodon's webapp has this issue too, but they have a dropdown menu with an "Expand this status" option to get around it. Meanwhile, in mobile apps such as Tusky, tapping in the empty margins (i.e. below the avatar & to the left of the picture or on the right side of the picture) opens it up, so that could be a solution here too. I find this route much more intuitive than adding a dropdown menu item anyway.

Add search

Add a global search.

Remember window position & dimensions

Save on shutdown, restore them on startup.

Provide ability to copy authorization link

I don't log in to Mastodon with the default browser on my OS. I need to be able to copy-and-paste the link to the correct browser to authorize the app.

Readme issues

The windows static build link leads to a 404 page, the linux static build doesn't seem to have a filetype in the name when downloaded, and the dependency commands are missing the sudo command

Add file chooser for media upload

This is a complement issue report to #47, but since it's technically a different feature, I'm giving it its own issue report.

Some people prefer the drag-and-drop method, but others, such as myself, are more used to clicking a button and selecting a file that way. I believe you're planning on mobile builds too, judging by the readme saying mobile builds are untested atm, so if they're to ever have media upload functions, this will be required since Android doesn't do drag-and-drop.

With run it as root, everything works.
I used the AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/telephant-git/

Minimize to system tray + Start In Tray On Boot Option

Allowing Telephant to continue running in the background via a system tray icon, as well as maybe a command line option/GUI setting to start in the tray on bootup would be a nice enhancement to have imo.

Build error with makechrootpkg

Trying to rebuild telephant-git hasn't worked out, I got some qt go bindings related error:

Telephant Trying to Read Posts Even When No Account Authorized

When I first started Telephant, it immediately showed some errors in the terminal output. I hadn't had a chance to even begin typing my instance name for the authorization process, meaning Telephant doesn't distinguish whether or not it actually has authorization or even a site to go to before it tries to fetch posts.

The errors were about a dozen of the following:
qrc:/qml/MessageView.qml:246: TypeError: Cannot read property 'x' of undefined
where 'x' is a bunch of various properties such as 'author', 'body', 'mediapreview', etc.

Clicking on a toot in a thread that you were the last toot in only mentions yourself.

Expected behavior:
Should also grab those mentioned in toot you're replying too.

Muesli:
Mentioned this already from my niu.moe account, but thought'd be better to have an issue here for tracking purposes. Also, maybe this is intended; it just isn't how the web interface or any other client's I've used behave. If so feel free to close issue

Hearts don't turn red

They should turn red when liking a tweet. Also, the retweet button should turn all colourfull when retweeting something!

Trigger internal model updates after actions

Actions like liking or sharing should trigger internal model updates and not wait for an update from the server.

Text Box Boundaries

When rezising the window too narrow horizontally, text boxes start exceeding their boundaries like seen here

Hotkey for new tweet

A hotkey for new tweets or various other functions would be great. Even configurable, best case :)

Opening a toot and closing it, breaks scrolling with scrollwheel

When I click on a toot to read the conversation, and then click beside it to close it again, I lose the ability to scroll using the mouse wheel. The scrollbars still work fine, although scrolling is a bit janky when dragging them.
