e621 desktop client? (yiffit.net)

For browsing e621 on my phone I've been using e1547. I do not have anything against just browsing e621 directly on my browser, but a native app make it more... pleasant? I don't know.

So I was thinking, is there any e621 client for desktop? Preferably a Linux desktop. I've made some Google searches, and I just found some dead projects on GitHub.

It can be made easily via their API, but depends on what features you're looking for. What is it that you miss from the web version?

It's possible that all the features I use in e1547 are directly available in e621, but I'm too lazy to look into it, that said, I love the 'Subscriptions' feature because I have a Mastodon-style feed with a constant stream of new drawings from my favorite artists (of whom there are probably hundreds). Also, I really like that because if I find an artist I like on e621 I can 'follow' them, whereas on e621 (which as far as I know, this feature doesn't exist) I can just favorite them and if I want to look for them again I need to go through my favorites.

Another thing I like about e1547 is that I have 3 tabs, a "Home" tab where my default filters are applied, for example, at this moment my filters are ~digimon_(species), ~pokemon_(species), every time I open the app I will see the equivalent images that would appear if I search that manually, it's not a big deal but it's more comfortable. Then there is the "Hot" tab that uses the order:rank filter, great for finding new artists in my opinion, and finally there is the "Search" tab, where I can search for tags and they are not applied permanently unlike the "Home" tab.
