I need a clean working Emacs state. Since I use Spacemacs, I risk some contamination from other packages. A Docker image with a clean Emacs is probably the easiest solution.

When a user has 2 Factor Auth enabled, mastodon.el is unable to authenticate and will prompt for the username and password until the user either (a) disables their 2 Factor Auth, or (b) exits emacs.

Mastodon.el should do one of the following if 2FA is turned on:

• Use OAuth to get a token
• Prompt for the 2FA auth code and submit it for the user
• Cleanly exit/error out so that the user can turn off 2FA

The asynch default of url-retrieve makes things too complicated, especially the HTTP actions taken in mastodon-auth. Look at mastodon-http--get for an example of how much url-retreive-synchronously makes life easier.

They just display as links right now.

Testing is good. I should add tests.

Timeline mentions are displayed as full URLs:

@johnson --> https://mastodon.social/@johnson

It should be @johnson.

New lines are not properly respected.

Continuous integration is good too. Once I've got some tests to run ( #5 ), I should setup CI with Travis.

mastodon--register-client-app should be mastodon-auth--register-client-app for example.

Hello,

I have configured mastodon.el as follows:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elisp/mastodon/lisp")
(require 'mastodon)
(setq mastodon-instance-url "https://mastodon.zaclys.com")

When I then try to M-x mastodon, I am asked for my e-mail and password and then get the following error:

Contacting host: mastodon.zaclys.com:443
error in process filter: url-http-parse-headers: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, nil
error in process filter: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, nil
json-read: JSON readtable error

My Emacs version is GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.14.5) of 2015-03-07 on trouble, modified by Debian.

Thank you for making this Mastodon Emacs client, I hope that I will soon be able to test it!

In mastodon-mode, non-ASCII characters in usernames or in toots are displayed by escape sequences of the UTF-8 (\303\251 instead of é).

mastodon.el just git pulled

GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.9) of 2016-04-17 on lgw01-04, modified by Debian (can display Unicode just fine)

• Submit PR to MEPLA
• Wait for PR to be merged
• Update README

If I Favourite/Boost the third toot on a timeline, my cursor will be moved to the second toot on the timeline. It should stay on the third.

We should be able to do the following from a mastodon-toot mode buffer:

• Add a content warning
• Add CW spoiler text

• Run tests
• Byte compile
• package-lint

mastodon-toot returns a 403 Forbidden error response. The error message mentions a scope issue:

{"error":"This action is outside the authorized scopes"}

Since mastodon.el registers with "read write follow" scopes, this doesn't make much sense.

I can use the same token from mastodon--api-token-string to GET posts.

curl --header "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" -sS https://mastodon.social/api/v1/statuses/1895661

This returns a 200 and the toot data.

When I use the mastodon-tl--goto-next-toot function from the last toot in my buffer, it should request toots older than toot at point and append the response data to the buffer.

This was useful before the major mode existed. Now, it is out of date and will throw an error when used.

• Remove function
• Remove references to the function from the README

For instance, is there a plan to add the ability to display toots, not just create them?

mastodon--http-post should be mastodon-http--post for example.

Attach media_ids to a toot send from the minor mode. Limit to four.

Add a notifications timeline and bind it to N.

When requesting more toots mastodon-tl--more results in the point being set to the end of the buffer rather than at the first new toot.

For debugging purposes, open the HTTP response buffer on API calls if mastodon-debug is non-nil.

Apparently, mastodon.el does not automatically refrshes the open timeline: I need to call mastodon-tl--update (which has no key binding by default). Why not a periodic automatic resfresh, with a period configured by a variable?

Look into the unwind-protect function for cleaning up buffers on TL switches, new toots, replies, etc.

• Follow/unfollow
• Block/unblock
• Mute/unmute

This is more an epic level issue that should be broken down. The major mode should provide:

• Read access to timelines:
  • Home
  • Local
  • Federated
  • Tags
  • Update to latest toots
• Interactions with toots:
  • Boost
  • Favourite
  • Reply
  • See thread
• Keybindings
  • Switch between timelines
  • Move to next/previous toot
  • Boost, Favourite, Reply to, Open thread
  • New toot

They appear empty. Pls fix.

The headings in mastodon.el state it's licensed under the GPLv3 but this repository doesn't have a copy of it

Buffers for toot-mode should count down characters from 500 as they are entered.

It would be nice if the countdown lived alongside the documentation from #14.

When you open a toot-mode buffer, there should be read-only documentation:

1. C-c C-c sends toot
2. C-c C-k cancels toot

How to reproduce:

1. open a timeline in Emacs
2. pick some existing toot from the timeline
3. open mastodon in the web browser
4. use the web interface to favourite the toot picked
5. update Emacs timeline

Expected:

1. (F) marker on a toot

Actual:

1. Replaced 0 occurrences message
2. Nothing changes

After this when favourite the toot from the emacs buffer I get:

Favourited #3825346

and I get the new buffer with

(not a good "success" callback by the way)

https://mastodon.social/web/statuses/2315937

It would be nice.

Right now, I'm developing/testing against the flagship API. It would probably be better to use a locally running Mastodon instance. Add a docker-compose file that spins up an instance. Integrates with the dev environment from #2 too?

mastodon-auth.el requires plstore which should be mentioned in the README file

The default color for toots is a very pale grey, almost unreadable. The blue for the user names is not much better.

I suggest to change the default and (probably more important) to document how the user could change it (my own preference would be to use the default font/color for everything).

Prompt for a hashtag and open a timeline.

What kind of self-respecting Emacs user...

Right now, the success callback on a new toot opens the response buffer from url-retrieve. It should just message a success, perhaps with the toot id.

• new toot
• reply
• boost
• favourite

It would be nice to have an overview of the possible keybinds+commands through a magit-like popup.

Possible options are:

• https://github.com/steckerhalter/discover-my-major
• https://github.com/mickeynp/discover.el

I'll provide a PR for both.

I want to be able to visit a user profile like a timeline in the major mode.

With discover, we auto-detect it in the user's Emacs environment and use it if it's there. This keeps the user from having to write their own hook. I'd like to do the same with emojify now that the UTF-8 encoding issue is fixed.

Basically, just turn on flycheck.

This would allow to get a permanent authorization, avoiding to type the password each time you run Emacs. The Twitter twittering-mode does it.

1. Favourite a toot
2. Favourite again

You'll get the successful feedback:

Favourited #12345

And then a buffer:

{"error":"Validation failed: Status has already been taken"}

You can't favourite an already favourited toot. You get a 422 response. We should handle this gracefully instead of popping the failed response buffer. Options:

1. Message feedback that says something like Already favourited #12345
2. Make favourite function a toggle between favourite/unfavourite

Fix should be applied to the boost function too.

Many of my keybindings are Vim inspired. This proposes a problem for evil users in normal mode. Look into what it would take to support evil users out of the box.
