An intuitive web tool to seamlessly split and format long texts into manageable chunks for Mastodon threads.
Open it in your browser, start typing. Posts will display on the right, and be automatically divided when you reach the character limit.
You can manually insert a separation between posts by inserting a line with three or more hyphens (---), underscores (___), or asterisks (***)
When you're ready to post, scroll to the top of the preview, click the copy button by the first post, post it, click the copy button by the second post, stick it in a reply to the last post, repeat. As you click copy the post's color will change to let you know you've already grabbed that one.

If you're a geek who wants to add in the functionality to let it post automatically I'll happily merge it.
Download a release, or clone the repo, & open the index.html file in your browser. That's it.
