Interesting, there's experimental *local* alt text generation in Firefox Nightly hacks.mozilla.org/2024/05/expe

In short: DistilGPT-2 model in Transformers.js, trained on updated Flickr30k dataset with supervised learning.

The copy used is also interesting: "Alt text (alternative text) helps when people can't see the image or when it doesn't load."

Spent too much time on this. I would call this a media-first UI experience (IG, Pixelfed). Only on my local #PhanpySocialDev

Screenshots for before and after.

@cheeaun Does the UI change based on the platform you’re connected to? Or a mode you can switch between on any type, even Mastodon.

Current progress: Pixelfed web vs Phanpy.

Most photos/images look really good on Pixelfed, so following pixelart hashtag could be an edge case, possibly unfair comparison, as some images can be smaller. The carousel UI is probably useless too since all of the images can fit in, but oh well πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

On Phanpy, some existing features are preserved for this media-first UI including followed hashtag indicator and 'ALT' badge.

Been trying this out secretly for the past few weeks β€” a "catch-up" timeline page. Did whole bunch of iterations, where I myself is the guinea pig, but this time reaching a point where I just got to share it out in the public.

- NOT final design, still very experimental, only on my local machine
- Instead of algo timeline, this is focused on data-grid-like UI for configuring exactly what I want to see.
- This honestly could be another full-fledged app/client by itself 🫠

@cheeaun I tried Phanpy- really nice interface! I like the grouped boosts. I would love to try the grid view- letting me scroll through and see more posts faster is nice for catching up on days that I don't happen to open social media

I don't believe in dogmas

@cheeaun @phanpy Well deserved recognition; it is my favorite Mastodon web client and I am super glad that more people will discover it now.

So, some folks are getting inactive on Mastodon, stayed on Twitter, hyped/saddened about popular figures migrating to BlueSky. Designers went to read.cv's Posts. Long-form content creators seem to be excited about Substack Notes.

Younger generations (in Asia?) are all over TikTok. Content creators cross-post to YouTube Shorts & Reels for reach. Older folks are passively posting on Facebook. Career-driven folks are actively self-promoting on LinkedIn.

Isn't this literally "decentralised"? πŸ€”

Hidden feature #protip !

For those banners that don't fit into the ratio, it'll have Phanpy's usual "scroll-image" effect when hovered. Press-holding it, will "unmask" the banner and even the avatar πŸ¦Έβ€β™‚οΈ

This is on Safari, so the cursor somehow tries to select the text in the image πŸ˜… I use so much CSS shadows/filters/masks that it causes rendering quirks πŸ˜‚
