Social Status

A little python script that lives in my terminal (Its a TUI) and allows me to post to multiple social media sites at once.

Currently supports posts with or without images on:

1. Mastodon
2. Bluesky

Social Status:

• Automatically resize images if they exceed the maximum size by Mastodon or Bluesky.
• Dynamically counts and shows current characters in the status, with the limitations coded for both Mastodon and Bluesky
• Optional AI Image Tagging feature, which uses OpenAI to generate hashtags for images you are going to upload.
• Optional AI Image Description feature to draft Alt Text for accessibility.
• If images need to be resized they need to be PNG, it converts the file locally in a TMP dir and then deletes the tmp files.

I may add more sites, if I used them. You are welcome to fork it and use it for yourself.

Installation

• Download the code (clone it or download it and unzip it).
• Install python 3.12 on your system.
• Create a virtual environment using python -m venv venv in the folder/dir of the code.
• Activate the environment with venv\Scripts\activate.bat on windows or source venv/bin/activate on linux.
• Run pip install to install all the required modules pip install -r requirements.txt.

Configuration

• Copy example.env to .env and add your credential information.
• For Mastodon you will need to run py reg.py once. This will register the app and get the keys necessary to make posts.
• Thats it.
