So nervous to read that Wired article, I'm lowkey at a loss for words

Edit: OMG, so many feelings ❤️

@dansup great story! makes me want to migrate ❤️

Dr Pen

@dansup the bulk upload works well but I'd advise a couple more user messages to inform them what's happening. I found it fine but average users may get confused a bit. Also hoping Facebook Linter gets fixed on pixelfed.social so I can share more content over there. Ppl don't realise how good Fediverse apps and clients are. They need to see it. Repeatedly. Pixelfed is the best for this.

omg wired wrote about @pixelfed

I grew up OBSESSED with Wired, my brothers had Nintendo Power subs and me, you guessed it

Lil dansup would be so proud 😭

Matrix wasn't working for the media interview I just did (unable to decrypt message), so I tried a @firefish chat and WOW!

We chatted for over an hour, and even shared images and videos, I'm mind blown!

Jacob Michalskie

@dansup @firefish That's not that impressive, is it? That sounds like bare minimum

@firefish

Does that imply that Firefish chat also has E2EE?

Darnell Clayton :verified:

@dansup @firefish I have also seen weird “unable to decrypt” messages on #Matrix too.

The FAQ on #Element does not provide a solution either: element.io/help#encryption9

I wonder if the @element & @matrix teams can investigate this issue‽

My theory: people are using different versions of Matrix & the older version is having issues decrypting or being decrypted by the newer versions.

#PubKit consumes a #FediDB API to seed software projects

Did you know that FediDB has a few open APIs (no signup req)?

💡

Anyways, I'll get back to coding!

Currently implementing the Library tool, it takes AP objects and parses/contextualizes each field so devs can browse not only Activities but also each field, and this enables so many cool things like comparing object field schemas between projects!

This isn't a full blown test suite, but eventually we can wire up these tools to do that, but I don't want to get ahead of myself so less talk more code...

Sorry just really excited about this 😄

Tane Piper ⁂

@dansup So basically could use it for sending diffs across system to system pipeline? 🤔

dansup

Ngl, I'm really proud of the #PubKit tool names! I love geeking out on stuff like this 🤓

Bouncer pays homage to the pub in ActivityPub

Radar sounds cool and is a clever name for a request bin

Mimic clearly describes the ability to spin up mock Mastodon/Pixelfed/Firefish/GotoSocial "servers"

Library is the boring one, but will likely be the most important!

Simon

@dansup would 'archive' be a better name? What about 'the sacred texts' :blobcatgiggle:

dansup

I'm having fun with the #PubKit copy, debating if I should keep the last two tool links 😁

Ralph Wiggum is the perfect representation of the mimic feature tho 😅

ICYMI: Apple fixed our TestFlight situation, and you can re-join it to get access to the iOS beta!

Those who updated, have you noticed smoother timelines? I still have some work to do to improve it more, but it’s less janky on iOS now!

@dansup timeline is smooth like butter. But can’t say the same when loading the camera roll. But you’re on a roll!

James J Malcolm

@dansup no.

The whole app is a million times faster and smoother, not just the timeline. Great job!

dansup

mesmerized doesn't begin to describe the fedi for me, and the fact I can contribute to it in some way is like a dream

I'm a self-taught hs dropout and I was lost for a few years until I learned webdev, it helped me grow and I still struggle with imposter syndrome but I wouldn't trade this for the world

Thanks for putting up with me ❤️

@dansup I don’t know shit about programming but your app is pretty sweet. I’m assuming that the server side of things is also good for the app to work like it does.

Brian

@dansup Your work is just amazing! Pixelfed was something really needed and it's incredible that there's now a fully functional and open source alternative to instagram (and federated, of course!). Thanks a lot for it and for your many other projects! 🙂

FLOX Advocate

@dansup you seem to have had quite a capable teacher :)

Thanks for all you do for the Fediverse!

dansup

Going to try and ship the PubKit beta tonight and wrap it up this weekend!

Mini-projects like these are really fun and I find myself really productive, esp if I can start on a Friday and work on it over the weekend.

dansup

Bouncer + Library + Mimic + Radar = PubKit

A suite of ActivityPub dev tools, open source and easily self-host your own instance!

Shipping Soon 🚀 #activityPub #fediverse

PubKit features
dansup

I must say that Vue3 is really nice, PubKit is the 4th project that I'm using it on (besides work), and it's growing on me

Pēteris Krišjānis

@dansup I always have found Vue one of best JS frameworks I really tolerate because of entry level friendliness.

dansup

A new project appears, PubKit is a suite of tools for ActivityPub devs that will be shipping very soon.

I know I've teased FediDB dev tools before, so this is my only post about this until I shut up and ship it 😅

PubKit Tools

Developing an ActivityPub app should be easier, let us help you through it!
We're behind the popular Pixelfed platform, and transformed some of our internal ActivityPub development tools into a public service that other developers and projects can use.

If you find this service useful, consider donating to support our work!

Taking a break from the app to work on some AP dev tools, I missed the meeting this morning but I promise I’ll make it up to y’all 😎💅

@dansup

awesome!

I will say, something that popped out to me right away - I personally liked how previously on discover I could see different hashtags to explore posts in.

The newer layout feels more sleek but I miss that a bit. Where would I be able to see trending or interesting hashtags now? Is that still possible?

Maybe a separate tab next to posts and people could be nice? 🤔

James J Malcolm

@dansup hallelujah!

Btw I thought you added log in with Mastodon to the app?
The add account screen doesn’t have it

Groosha

@dansup in this version I also don’t see a button to post stories. Is it there?

It's that time of year that falling leaves and wind start triggering my cameras, winter is coming ❄️

Jason Cosper

@dansup I installed a motion triggered spotlight to help scare off a skunk and burnt through 15% of the battery one very windy evening. 😅

DELETED

@dansup
Where are you? I thought you were in So Cal?

dansup

Oooof, I forgot to finish checking out and now the mug and one of the pins are sold out 😔

dansup

At least I was able to get a pack of stickers and the logo pin, THOSE STICKERS ARE ADORABLE!!!
