About Ebou
Ebou is an open-source desktop client for Mastodon, written in Rust using Dioxus. It groups new posts by author in a messenger-style layout and shows replies in a nested conversation tree. It supports timelines, lists, posting with drag-and-drop image and video attachments, boost, favorite, reply, bookmark, profiles, and follower lists.
Ebou is described as an experiment in beta, with bugs and missing features. macOS is stable, Windows is beta, and Linux is untested; Pleroma compatibility is also untested, notifications cover only mentions without remembering seen items, and search is minimal.
