Pretty cool. Got the timeline working, statuses separated, avatars loading, linked images in statuses works, can also post statuses from it.
Heh. will work on the remaining things the next days.
This will replace the current gtk4 client I wrote, I like this much better.

Today I’m looking into flutter again, I’ve been wanting to test that out for a while.
I started adding functionality from the ‘yarn desktop client’ ( https://github.com/stig-atle/YarnDesktopClient ) I’ve been working on - and now I see if I can get the same functionality up and running with flutter.
Currently I’m able to log in and fetch the logged in user’s username at least (the text :username: is fetched after logging in), so it’s a good start.
That means I have the things I need to fetch the timeline and present that next.
@bender@twtxt.net Yeah, when you mention it.. Norway is a pretty clean place. That bike has gone 2200km now, and I have not washed it once :) It’s worse during spring and when snow melts etc, but this time of the year it’s pretty nice :)
