@dansup Hello ! The app is not recognising metapixl.com as a valid server although it is version 0.11.13 @dansup super excited about Loops, best of luck! Been thinking about #MusicDiscovery on Fedi, and Loops could be a game-changer here… Like a “save music” bookmark button to revisit an artists’ music link later? TikTok has an “add to Spotify” button now but the algorithm lottery is a head-melt for artists. If we had a real alternative, it would be a life-raft for the arts rn💜 Thanks so much for your work, legend I ended up combining text and icons for the comment action buttons! Thanks for your feedback ❤️ @dansup I am not a tester, but from the screenshot, I would expect the "reply" arrow to point the other direction. Pointing to the right usually makes me think of "forward" Edit: Went with a combined text/icon! https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112180504719750104 Text vs Icon buttons, I think the icons look better, wdyt?

@dansup Both, but also please right align them so they’re consistently positioned on each comment

@dansup the server I'm on doesn't support pf, my login details I had with Web version doesn't work anymore. Pixelfed Loops and PeerTube Shorts... just imagine 😍 @Chocobozzz you down? Let's work together on federation, we could do so much together ❤️

@dansup @Chocobozzz I already have a couple short form videos uploaded to my #PeerTube instance to test compatibility with @dansup @Chocobozzz And if this could be timed with the TikTok Ban bill that'd be fantastic for the fediverse. Loops + c2s would be a perfect match, few activitypub implementations support the client to server model. 🤔 @dansup Go for it! It’s always seemed like a chicken-and-egg problem: nobody builds C2S servers because there’s no clients, and nobody builds clients because there’s no servers. If you could get even one good client off the ground, it might bootstrap the whole C2S ecosystem. And I, for one, will absolutely follow you there. I’d much rather build a solid C2S server instead of implement the Mastodon API. My plan for Loops was to use your Pixelfed account for auth, and thats all good and all but when it comes to federation, I think this warrants a separate followers collection. I'm considering either creating a new outbox like collection for Loops that are delivered to all followers, or a separate account with its own outbox and follower collections. What are your thoughts?

@dansup When I first got into Fedi, I wanted to — and was frustrated I couldn’t — post from one account to all the things, but came around to the value of having different accounts for different services for different interests. @dansup many of these different social media’s (microblogs, personal photoblogs, personal video shares) have different circle of friends, acquaintances, random people you’d want to share them with. One way to enable that is separate (external) account names, an other could be what (I think) Google+ did with its circles & what Insta kinda does with “close friends”. I don’t know the best solution, but just wanted to add my thinking on the topic. Push Notifications + Share Intents are crucial and I won't make the same mistake again. The #loops beta will ship with push notifications, and in a few weeks share intents. We will send push notifications for every like, follow, and comment (and eventually mentions, duets and reacts) and you will be able to toggle each one in the app if you prefer to limit them! The sheet on the second screenshot should probably be titled just "Options". "Share to -> Share" is confusing, "Share to -> Block" even more so. It would also work better if you make these options icon-with-label buttons like these: @dansup @pixelfed Hey, I would love to support you, but I'm unable to donate anything but crypto due to certain conditions. If you had a Bitcoin wallet or something, I could help you with the project I love so much, Pixelfed became a part of my daily life (even when Instagram couldn't) and I'm really really waiting and excited for Loops.

I'm in talks with @liaizon regarding the @loops project manager role. I'd love nothing more than a trusted, dedicated project manager to take the reigns and tell me what to do/code so I can focus on what I do best. The project manager would be responsible for gathering feedback, planning features and organizing accordingly. I can only do so much, delegating a role like this is a big deal, and I'm all for it ✨ @dansup@mastodon.social Very interesting. You may recall I said some weeks ago that you needed support to manage your project support and messaging. We said we'd chat about ideas, but it never came off. |
@loops That's better 😉
