[REQ] Desktop version of Fritter

[wattelengineering]

Describe the problem that needs solving This project appears to be heading in a good direction but it's mobile only. I get that it may be out of scope, but a desktop version of this app would be great.

Describe the solution you'd like The ideal solution would be:

1. A desktop client in addition to the mobile app.
2. Synchronisation of follows/groups/etc between them. This part is a luxury but could be implemented relatively easily with an existing backup/sync solution (e.g. syncThing) moving the config files between devices. Config files would have to be in the exact same format for both mobile and desktop.

I don't care that much about the sync, I can easily live with a desktop version of Fritter with me having to manually adjust settings.

Fritter is amazing. I was shocked to find there is no similar desktop app. How hard is it to port it to desktop, let's say for Linux?

Particularly for linux support, it might be worth supporting projects like https://waydro.id/ (containered android linux with wayland support), fritter technically works under it:

Thank you for pointing out this option, I didn't know it existed.

No problem. Updated the screenshot as it even supports (desktop entries) for individual apps and launches them as standalone app windows. Polish/support needed at the waydroid level but the groundwork is there.

Currently the db constrcutor uses sqflite with no linux and windows support. After looking into database it seems it needs some rewites with sqflite_common_ffi library to work on linux and windows.
