Fortransky: A Terminal-Only Bluesky Client Written in Fortran with Rust/ASM Firehose Decoder

Summary

Fortransky is a terminal-only Bluesky/AT Protocol client written in Fortran, featuring a unique architecture that includes an asm/Rust native firehose decoder for relay-raw streams. The project enables users to access Bluesky's social media platform entirely through terminal interfaces, supporting posts, timelines, notifications, dithered image posting, direct messages, and terminal image rendering. The software requires specific build dependencies including system packages for different Linux distributions and Rust toolchain, with session state saved locally. The project represents a technical novelty by implementing modern social media protocols in the legacy Fortran programming language.
