I've been thinking for a while about writing a simple app, because I haven't done app development before. The first thing I would love to make is a social bookmarking app for posts, that lets you save stuff into different categories. Basically what Firefish had back in the day.
Hey! Are you a CEO or project lead of a decentralized, open source communication platform or protocol? Are you tired of dealing with negative responses to your misinterpreted posts? Hire me to be your comms person! I can be your community punching bag that keeps everyone happy and excited!
Two apps I'd love to see for #NextCloud: a Pinterest clone, and a MovieDB app that can keep track of things I want to watch. There's some open source, self-hostable versions of both of these things, but nothing that integrates into my existing private cloud.
Procrastinated and stayed up way too late editing our latest podcast video @decentered, but it's really good, and I think you'll enjoy it. I sat down with @Ryan Barrett and @npub1zzy7...9edy, and had a really great conversation. The unedited recording is more than two hours. 🀯 image
I procrastinated on this way too much, feel apprehensive about my ability to sum up all my thoughts and feelings on a page, but I finally wrote about #FediCon:
Hey @Surf and @Mike McCue, I'm a big fan of the concept of Surf, but still kind of frustrated at some of the limitations around feed curation. What would it take to get a proper Fediverse / ActivityPub / Social Web topic tag to filter stuff by? Having random cooking recipes in my feed's "Read" tab kind of brings down the experience a bit. image
It would be nice if there was a #PeerTube plugin to add social account fields to user profiles. Even if it were just a drop-down of various Fediverse platforms and a text field for URLs, that would be great!
Huh, I like the way #Piefed displays #PeerTube channels. Here's how the #FediCon videos look from there:
@npub1wa2m...zalq is looking so freaking good. I'm super excited about the new updates coming in. #Fediverse https://wedistribute.org/2025/08/big-updates-are-coming-to-loops/
Just an FYI: If you missed #FediCon, or just want to see the talks, they are being edited and uploaded to #PeerTube. There's only three talks up so far, but I am helping @npub16d5j...u6mu to add more of them, and ensure that there are accurate captions and nice little thumbnails. You can see a playlist of all #FediCon2025 talks, sorted in order, here:
