**Lynnear Edition**
|
|
|
|
This version makes quite a few changes from [the original](https://github.com/Jess3Jane/mastodon-ebooks), such as:
|
|
- Unicode support
|
|
- Non-Markov stuff
|
|
- Stores toots in a sqlite database rather than a text file
|
|
- Doesn't unecessarily redownload all toots every time
|
|
|
|
## Install/usage guide
|
|
An installation and usage guide is available [here](https://cloud.lynnesbian.space/s/jozbRi69t4TpD95). It's primarily targeted at Linux, but it should be possible on BSD, macOS, etc. I've also put some effort into providing steps for Windows, but I can't make any guarantees as to its effectiveness.
