Oh man, the new Pixelfed app keeps getting better and better!

I’m now finishing up Push Notifications support, which is the most requested feature besides share intents (which I shipped earlier tonight)

Not only is it fast, lightweight and open source, but also packed with many long overdue features like Push Notifications 😎

It’s everything you wanted, plus more ✨

dansup

I just want to educate y'all about this specific "scary" warning (that you may see in the Pixelfed app)

Apple Bonjour is a feature that enables seamless connection between your Apple devices

You can safely tap "Don't Allow" without any impact, however, that may limit Handoff support and other Apple features we're planning to implement.

Regardless, you can audit our app code yourself to verify we aren't doing anything sketchy

github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed-r

#pixelfed #iOS #mobileApp

Pixelfed app with a OS alert that says:

""pixelfed" would like to find and connect to devices on your local network
This app will be able to discover and connect to devices on the networks you use."

And two options are provided, "Don't Allow" or "Allow"

@dansup you could try to delay that message by doing the first local network request after asking the user frist explaining what it is for.

To give more context to users, so they are not confused.

AFAIK this is not a permission like the others where you can insert a reason string in the plist.

TSRBerry

@dansup Do you need to request this permission before you implement anything that uses it?

dansup

@frankmorrow love that domain! If you run into any issues with Pixelfed, let me know!

Pixelfed app share intent feature
Perma

@dansup this is great. I am not great with Ux. Why not refactor the "share" part and put it like this:
Share:
[Post]
[Collection]
[...]

Does it introduce some kind of friction or a11y issue?

@dansup I was wondering, when creating a new post on Pixelfed, could we have an option to paste an image in, please?

Tried to create a post, the other day, from a [temporary] screenshot image, only to find I couldn't paste it in.

Easily share photos and videos directly to the new Pixelfed app 😎

@dansup It would only be "easy" if you could configure the apps and their order, which Apple displays in the share dialogue.

"Social web" is a industry plant, real fediversians know

#fediverse #always

smallcircles (Humanity Now 🕊)

@dansup maybe. Yet I use it. Not to indicate the online space that fedizens span up, but the suite of protocols that allow that. I recently started to make distinction between fedi and Fediverse as well, btw.

PS. Just tooted to Evan about this: social.coop/@smallcircles/1124

@dansup for me, everything after lover has been a lot more low key and less fun than before. I don't dislike the newer stuff, still own all of it, but I find the pre-2020 content a lot more enjoyable.

dansup

If my partner joins the fediverse, whatever he says about me is completely false*

I appreciate your loyalty and that blind eye to any evidence of delays or new projects

(* = actually true, but this written in php)

Григорий Клюшников

How is he still not on the fediverse? You must be talking about it all the time, how has he not become curious about it? 🤔

dansup

@dansup Every now and then I check in on the fediverse to see "what's dansup up to?"

As most of us know by now, it's always something good, but a bit of a surprise on the specifics.

So, wow, a complete re-write of the Pixelfed app. You are a special human (or a really convincing robot, can't tell).

dansup

Updated the screenshot on the Pixelfed App README!

The app is really coming along, and your feedback is helping shape the direction, keep it coming 😎

Music is music, don’t fall for marketing gimmicks.

Drake and Kendrick on the same label, this some beyond meat type shit, don’t embarrass yourself

@dansup I take it you don't like Beyond Meat then?

@dansup I’m not sure Drake is on any label anymore 🤣🤣

dansup

I appreciate your patience regarding the @pixelfed, @loops and @supapp apps

I'm now almost finished re-writing the main Pixelfed app from scratch, using best practices, and in the open!

> git clone github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed-r

The new apps will be everything you expected, and more 😎

@dansup Sweet! Will check it out later today

@dansup @pixelfed @loops @supapp this new Pixelfed app will bring us push notifications?

dansup

I love the simplicity of the new profile layout in the new @pixelfed app!

I moved some info like how old the account is to the menu so we can focus on what matters, your posts!

@dansup @pixelfed vertical spacing between the buttons & tabs could be greater: I'm certain I'd accidentally press a button when I wanted a tab with my current long nails.

@dansup Elon saying shit about a product means either two things :
- he or someone he knows wants to buy this product's company's stock
- he or someone he knows wants to sell another similar product (or make the other product's company's stock rise)

dansup

@dansup If you're vying/backing up Signal Protocol then I am again at peace that I'm really using a good privacy-conscious messaging app. I couldn't do the audit of the protocol myself, so I am relying on individuals I put my trust with to actually verify it. Thank you very much.

dansup

I’m not an expert when it comes to encryption by any means, but from my work on Sup and my knowledge of the Signal protocol, I’m confident that the lies Elon and Telegram are spreading are unfounded.

You can review the Signal protocol to see for yourself, like they (Elon and them) would be pointing to smoking gun vulnerable code if they had any real dirt, but I’ve yet to see any 😉

@dansup Main Signal "vulnerabilities" according to Musk, Durov and Carlson:
1) The company's president is a woman
2) She's vocal about AI inherent risks and biases
3) She supports unions
4) She's not Russian
5) She's a woman.

@dansup Telegram, like, the official team behind telegram? Like they actually did that?

dansup

as a security practitioner, i can no longer legitimize telegram given their latest behavior of attacking actual legitimate secure messaging tools

i was already planning to delete my account at the end of the month over the nazi thing, but i am not going to tolerate a bunch of useless rich-ass techbros (durov and musk in this case) bullying @Mer__edith who is one of the most empathetic people in this industry and who runs an absolutely solid team who cares extensively about the safety and security of the users of their product

i don't care if "all the furries are still there" anymore. i won't be. i'm done with this.

Unbordered it is, thanks for all the feedback!

(y'all make my job so easy, our project wouldn't go far without your feedback and impact ❤️)

Do make the scrollable things extend to the edges of the screen though. That clipping looks odd. Or, if you can't, do this:

dansup

Edit: Unbordered won! mastodon.social/@dansup/112437 (I liked bordered more, but the people spoke and I listen)

I need your opinion, I can't decide between bordered or unbordered sections, which do you prefer?

Bordered vs Unbordered

@dansup I'd probably go unbordered, but with some form of horizontal rule to separate content (e.g., border between)

Tarcísio Surdi

@dansup no border and maybe add a gradient to the sides in order for it to look more scrollable, removing the need for the “swipe for more” text

dansup

Putting the final touches on the new Pixelfed app!

Might ship an early preview APK later tonight 👀
