I want this app to run on non-Windows platforms too (you can see some #defines hinting at that in the code), but at this moment I see no easy solution for that. Any suggestions are, of course, welcome.
The core is crossplatform and runs just fine under mono, but there are two aspects that are more problematic:
to authorize and pass the initial DDoS guard checks an embedded browser is used (Right now it's an embedded IE, with two oblivious paths to upgrade being Edge's WebView2 (Chromium) and CefSharp (also Chromium) - and all three of these are Windows-only);
graphical interface is built with Windows Forms, whose future on non-Windows platforms is unclear (mono has an ugly but sufficiently working implementation, but the newer official dotnet may not have any).
As for the reasons why I've chosen to use a fully-featured embedded browser: FA is popular target for attacks so they employ a very aggressive DDoS protection; any custom solution to bypass these checks will require continuous maintenance, and there should still be a way to pass captchas both for these checks and for regular sign in process.
I can also suggest you have a look at gallery-dl - it does have an extractor for furaffinity, and, whilst it is missing a few features furdown has (most notably it lacks an efficient detection of sneakily updated content), it should at least run on Linux without an overhead of a complete Windows VM.
Would it be possible to get a Linux build that could run on my Ubuntu 20.04 installation?
How difficult would that be?
