🗂️ User guide

Just copy both files (mastodon-timeline.css and mastodon-timeline.js) in your project folder.

Now call each one in your page using the <link> and <script> tag:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="mastodon-timeline.css">

<script src='mastodon-timeline.js'></script>

Then copy the following html structure:

<div id="mt-timeline" class="mt-timeline">
    <div id="mt-body" class="mt-body">
        <div class="loading-spinner"></div>
    </div>
</div>

Great, you have a Mastodon timeline running in your page.

The next step will be to setup the timeline with your account info. For that, edit the the JS file mastodon-timeline.js and at the beginning replace the following values:

    instance_uri:   'Your Mastodon instance',
    user_id:        'Your user ID on Mastodon instance',
    profile_name:   'Your user name on Mastodon instance',

If you don't find your user_id, just copy your @profile_name and @instance_uri here:
