Dianara is a a pump.io client, a desktop application for GNU/linux that will allow users to manage their Pump.io social networking accounts without the need to use a web browser. It started out as a Diaspora client, hence the name. Diaspora support might come back in the future, once their API is ready.
As of May 2013, Dianara is going through a big redesign to adapt it to the pump.io network. At this point, you can authorize the program to access your data, see the last 20 posts in your timeline, post text, and see the list of the people you follow.
Check the Dianara category on this blog, or Dianara’s identi.ca (StatusNet) group for more up to date information.
There is also basic configuration, a tray icon, and FreeDesktop.org notifications.
The code is, as usual, in Gitorious, at http://gitorious.org/dianara
On the technical side, it is, as usual with my projects, based on Qt, and as aditional dependencies, QJSON and QOAuth.
Feedback is welcome!
app works on my ubuntu natty
but doesnt receive posts – does it use system proxy settings or environment vars?
There is no specific code for proxy support, I don’t know if it’s necessary, but I think it’ll use system settings (I don’t have any such setup).
I can tell you this:
If your pod is diasp.org, you need Qt 4.8 and a recent version of OpenSSL, since they have strict security there, and I’ve seen that with older versions it just won’t connect.
If one of the last lines in the terminal says “Request finished. HTTP code: 0″, that’s probably your case.
Thanks for the feedback!
