Log your Mastodon toots to DayOne

tootlogger

Journal your toots to DayOne

Take all your toots and make a DayOne journal entry.

This saves the last seen toot id so subsequent runs will only show all the toots since then. If you miss a day of running this it, it will back fill up to the pagination limit.
