Hello Lemmy! Yesterday I released the first version of an alternative frontend for Threads: Shoelace. It allows for fetching posts and profiles from Threads without the need of any browser-side JavaScript. It’s written in Rust, and powered by the spools library, which was co-developed between me and my girlfriend. Here’s a quick preview:

The official public instance (at least for now) is located at https://shoelace.mint.lgbt/, if y’all wanna try it out. There’s also instructions to deploy it inside the docs you can find in the README. Hope y’all enjoy it!
Did you use Shoelace, or is the name a coincidence?
It’s a coincidence! I named it kind of to refer to how a shoelace is composed of several strings.
