# Tooters: A Rust TUI-based Mastodon App
Tooters is a Rust-based Terminal User Interface (TUI) Mastodon app that allows you to view multiple toots on the screen at once. The project was created as a means to learn Rust and scratch a personal itch - the desire to see multiple toots on the screen at once. See the awesome python based [toot](https://github.com/ihabunek/toot), for something more complete.
Visit our website at [toote.rs](https://toote.rs) (TODO) for more information and updates.
