I'm bored and want to practice my Rust skills. I am the creator of open-tv. If you have any idea for a linux desktop app, even if it seems quite complex, I will take it.
I would love a text based ActivityPub client focused on meaningful discussions: threaded view, ability to follow threads or branches, highlight posts based on keywords.
I've just tried building Thunder for desktop and it works fine so far without any tweaks nessesary. In fact I'm writing this comment using this very build.
If there's interest I might be looking into turning this into a proper flatpak.
I've seen a few people in this sub asking for a desktop client, so it seems like something (some) people would be interested in. Maybe reach out to the Thunder devs and see if you can become an official flatpak maintainer (assuming you have flatpak experience and know what you're getting into) if they don't have time to maintain it themselves. You could also maybe get the "desktop" flag added to Thunder in this list if you were to do that, which would help people find it.
Fragmentation of front-ends. If every dev works on a their own project, the community gets 0 quality ptoducts. If there are less projects but more devs working on them, the community gets multiple quality products. Now choose what is better
