@a1batross @grishka I started with the client API first because I am building for users first. If I have to adjust it, I will.

I hope I can communicate with grishka some way. Maybe we can work together.

@alex I've seen projects where people started from building from frontend, users get interested but nothing happens due to different reasons.

That's why I got disappointed with Pixelfed for example. While it looked nice on frontend, it federated poorly which made first impression worse. Maybe I should try it again.

That's just my personal subjective observations with different projects, open source or not. So no offense please.

also retranslating parent post for @grishka :

oh, yes, Pixelfed. It does look nice, but last time I tried it, federation felt very much like an afterthought. The UI is built as if every instance is the only one. When you want to like or comment something, it just throws a login form at you.
