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

@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!

Share to Group

Share to Story

Share to Collection

@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.

@dansup so many options, how about a Google inspired "I'm feeling lucky" button 😏

Pixelfed app + Share Intents

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

Stefan Ritter :verified:

@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 😎

@dansup You wouldn't be happening to work on Push Notifications and Edit feature for the app as wel? 😉

@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 @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

Let me break it down for you.

There is a concerted misinfo campaign that now has Musk parroting that signal has security flaws.

Signal has been incredibly responsible in addressing reported bugs with alacrity.

Telegram is a steaming hot mess of bad to no encryption.

They specifically want protesters to use the bad one so that data can be more easily harvested.

Not sure who started this yet, but I have my suspicions.

@Mer__edith runs one of the best teams in the space.

Anyhow Signal is the far better solution between the two. Don’t fall in the trap.

Did someone say “Telegram”?
[Crashes into the thread like the Kool-Aid man]

Please do not use #Telegram Messenger for any message that you would not want to see on the side of a building. Don't take my word for it, listen to these folks.

Here's Dan Goodin (@dangoodin) in Ars Technica summarizing an exploit discovered by Ahmed Hassan:

"Using readily available software and a rooted Android device, he’s able to spoof the location his device reports to Telegram servers. By using just three different locations and measuring the corresponding distance reported by People Nearby, he is able to pinpoint a user’s precise location."

Independent security researcher The Grugq (@thegrugq) on Telegram's many problems:

"In summary, Telegram is error prone, has wonky homebrew encryption, leaks voluminous metadata, steals the address book, and is now known as a terrorist hangout. I couldn’t possibly think of a worse combination for a safe messenger."

"To this day, itʼs the most backdoor-looking bug Iʼve ever seen."

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 ❤️)

Григорий Клюшников

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
