And how long has it been requiring that? The #ActivityPub spec doesn't say that Digest header is mandatory. #mastodev

Small #Smithereen update: added these links to open posts and comments on their originating servers.

#Smithereen mobile layout update. I'm getting ever closer to actually pushing this. It's gonna be a huge commit. Out of things that aren't quite ready: the post page. Attaching options to things on the web is such a pain in the ass, I have no clue where to put the reply and like buttons on comments for example. And how to allow seeing who liked it. In a native app, I'd simply show an alert with options when the user taps the RecyclerView item.

It has been 0 days since I last told myself that web development is retarded.

Why do I not receive an Accept{Follow} after sending this? I'm trying to follow @256 from my instance. I didn't receive any posts either, and my account doesn't show up in @256's followers list, so this rules out Mastodon thinking that I already follow them. Might be a bug in Mastodon because the username is all numbers?

There may be something else happening but I believe Mastodon checks LD signatures if they're present and this might require having https://w3id.org/security/v1 in the @context .

Whenever I write "display: flex" I think of Riccardo Milos.

Dystopian startup idea: give away face masks that have brand logos on them.
:ggc: Niklas
@grishka Doesn't that already exist?I mean you can already have them with custom texts and producing a large number with the same logo is even cheaper so I'm sure that anyone is already doing that.

I'm not very good at designing UIs. But I've found this rather exhaustive palette for VK's old website 🤔 It's gonna be interesting to try to adapt this to green-ish color I'm going for in #Smithereen. I never quite liked what I'm getting with PostCSS color functions. As a bonus: since everything is already in variables, it'd take marginal effort to make an "exactly like VK in 2011" theme with these colors unchanged.

Why is there no open-source reimplementation of all the proprietary parts of the macOS userspace?

#Smithereen web UI is so fast that my browser doesn't have enough time to show a progress bar when you navigate between pages 🤔

One thing I find mildly annoying in #Stargate is their computer UIs. These are clearly designed with a mouse in mind. But almost none of their computers have mice. Instead, they, by the looks of it, just type random crap on the keyboard, as if they have Vim for their window manager. Their interactions with computers look VERY unnatural. And besides, I know how hard it is to make animations. Yet their very specialized software is crammed with unnecessary animations. It also beeps too much.

And, I mean, good luck clicking these buttons at the top right without the mouse. Their status bars are useless. And, no, you don't need "STATUS: ACTIVE" in every window. It's not helpful.

Of course I didn't read it correctly the first time. |
