✨ Refined Registrations

I put a fresh coat of paint on the registration/onboarding process in the @pixelfed app

From 13 screens to 3, the new sign-up experience is much simpler! Can't wait to roll this out

@dansup @pixelfed why does it ask for birthday? that shouldn't be required...

@dansup @pixelfed it's very sleek and pretty -- two thumbs up

Started watching #shameless a few days ago, now on season 2

I'm hooked, what an iconic show

Edit: It's the US version

Moritz

@dansup Which one? There's two versions of the show (UK and US – a little bit like The Office)

Jørgen fra Europa

@dansup British or American version? I've only watched the US version and thought it was entertaining, but English humour is usually more up my alley

Myphatself

@dansup so many good scenes. Love to hate Frank.

On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was.

The most challenging aspect of developing the @pixelfed app is the landing/onboarding screen

The first impression and onboarding flow can make or break it

I've studied a few prominent apps, implemented a few improvements, and look forward to shipping our new onboarding experience!

@dansup a while back I did a case study on dating app UX, where I tried out nearly every popular app on the app store.

Not a single one was without sin in the onboarding. The most common flaw was using the wrong input type for a lot of data (eg, dropdowns for date fields, text fields for numbers, generic input for email, etc)

Theres a balance between taking too much information and too little, and very few walked the line.

@dansup @pixelfed just implement face recognition and a lookup in the government database and the user is automatically identified haha 🙏🤣🎂

Ello

@dansup @pixelfed this is fine if you only want users who already use Pixelfed.

If I download an unfamiliar app, I want to explore a bit before I sign up.

If it insists that I sign up before I can do anything at all, then I’m deleting it and never thinking about it again

dansup

I should probably put out a call for react native developers who want to help with #Sup

If you’re interested, join our discord (link in @pixelfed bio)

I’ll need a few trusted contributors to help maintain the project while I focus on other things, I will establish a solid foundation first of course 😎

#reactNative #fediverse #im

التنينوكس

@dansup @pixelfed you already have a matrix room why promote the discord one? I want to lurk in.

DELETED

@dansup @pixelfed Hi. If I want ot donate to the development of Sup, should I donate to you directly?

"what does pixelfed do that Mastodon doesn't already?"

I might be biased, but I think this is an interesting question

Mastodon does provide many photo sharing features, and so does Pixelfed

The real difference is in how Pixelfed limits feeds to photo/videos compared to Mastodon's microblogging

It's a different experience, but that doesn't mean you have to limit yourself to one or the other!

@dansup

The user-experience is different.

A lot different.

And that isn't a minor thing.

From the user's point-of-view, that is all they know of an application. (Things like the back-end are almost completely invisible to them.)

Oblomov

@dansup BTW I was wondering: how does Pixelfed handle image uploads? I assume it doesn't butcher them the way Mastodon does, but does it let them through unaltered or does it do some cleaning up or whatever?

dansup

I'm doing some pretty significant refactoring to the @pixelfed app

- Replacing AsyncStorage with MMKV

- Re-wrote the navigation stack

- Refactoring components to use native RN as the UI library we're using is being deprecated

These aren't as pretty or exciting as most updates are, but these foundational updates are necessary for the public release 😅

bilbo_le_hobbit :bzh:

@dansup @pixelfed Hi, I noticed that it wasn't possible to display collections from the Pixelfed app. Is this planned in the near future?

Moto :rainbowinfinity:

@dansup @pixelfed The rate at which you keep pushing out features, you’ve more than earned yourself a “pay down tech debt” release.

Enjoy your less-smelly codebase!

dansup

✨ Simpler & Speedier

I'm refactoring the @pixelfed mobile app to improve onboarding and loading time in anticipation for the public release!

Some highlights:
- App opens much faster
- Easier sign-ups
- Deep linking
- Share target support
- Push Notifications

Shipping soon! 🚀

@dansup @pixelfed Are the improvements coming to Android as well as fruity-phones?

Marco Maas

@dansup @pixelfed Aaaah....that's virtually my complete wishlist for #pixelfedapp 🤩
Only misses ability to edit posts 😉

Push notifications: Please say we're talking #UnifiedPush a la #Fedilab / #Element, rather than just "route all your notifications through #Google / #Apple"-push...

Went to Saw X last night, it was better than expected! #sawX

Arch :arch:

@dansup Thanks for reminding me it exists. I should catch up on SAW at some point, I can’t remember where I left off

dansup

Anyone else getting "Pixelfed data erasure request" from a company called Mine for user emails that don't exist? (and never signed up)

Dax

@dansup I wonder if “Mine” doesn’t understand that a lot of people signup for things with an email alias.

I bet what they really want deleted is listed under some xxxxx_xxxxx@cloud.com email.

Literally nothing you can do.

fedi lore wiki when??

so much history, I hope someone is documenting this

The 2018-2020 era especially

#Guigui

@dansup id love to check it out because i have absolutely no idea what happened during that era

Amy 🇹🇭

@dansup I am tempted to make a web comic about fedi so a lore would be cool to read through (except I am atrocious at drawing and it probably won't go anywhere)

dansup

Yikes, pixelfed.social is seeing more spam than usual

Luckily, the @pixelfed Autospam system has caught every post before any user seen it

Every positive spam detection trains Autospam to be more accurate, so like, keep trying 😉

#autospam #antispam #pixelfed

eyrea

@dansup @pixelfed I'm taking that as a positive sign it's getting more popular!

@dansup @pixelfed had a bunch yesterday at 3 of my accounts across various serves -- all the same message too

dansup

Yesterday was rough, I thought my partner had a stroke but it was diagnosed as Bell's palsy

It's such a strange disease, comes out of of nowhere. Justin Bieber had it recently too.

Anyways, looking forward to coding on @pixelfed tonight!

@dansup Been there (although mine might have been Ramsey Hunt Syndrome--hard to distinguish). Frightening as can be, but most people fully recover. And a LOT better than a stroke.

Travis J. Smith

@dansup @pixelfed Take a breather, buddy!
Things will always be there no matter what, glad everything is ok, but don’t forget to also take care of yourself and your significant other in the process!

dansup

We really appreciate all the love and support

I was so distraught and it really put things in perspective for me

I wouldn't be the man I am today if not for him, and this was a wake up call for me to love, appreciate and cherish him more, and put a ring on it 😉

@dansup might be good to transfer those last four to the CG or put them in trust of a non-profit for activitypub stewardship (cc @evan & co)

@dansup I think I found a typo, “Total Users” on a “Recent Posts” graph (but the number correctly represents the Total Posts)

@dansup I don't quite understand the status report here, at least, I don't know what each of these is.
