I get it, but also I'm used to the hate. Let it flow through you, imma keep building 🚀

@grishka it actually is quite easier for iOS devs, even 15 years ago when Instagram shipped their first iOS only app.

On iOS you have a solid foundation, with a stable cohort of devices, a dozen or less for each platform.

That's why I respect Android devs like you much more, because it's a wild west of devices and constraints. You are much more cognizant of performance than an iOS dev would be, which often leads to better UX

I'm quite proud of the new https://fediverse.info, including the admin dashboard that I've invited a few trusted people to help oversee.

Such an important resource requires trust and integrity, and the admin audit log helps ensure we all remain accountable.

Such collaboration and unbiased stewardship is crucial for a service like this, and I'm thrilled to play a part in making fediverse onboarding easier and more accessible. ❤️

A few months ago, I was getting worried about my financial situation, and the possibility that I may have to step away from daily fediverse development.

Then, I saw the perfect job and applied, not expecting to get it, but still doing everything I could to try to sustain full time development.

I GOT THE JOB 😭

I'll share more details soon. I'm not going anywhere ❤️

DARE: kids, never do json-LD.

stay away from others who use that.

when someone asks you if you want to use it, run away and yell "THE POWER OF JSON COMPELS YOU, IN THE NAME OF DOUGLAS CROCKFORD, YOUR UNGODLY SCHEMA BEGONE!"

@cjd yeah thats a great point, but there is a network effect too, and with Loops you can already see it.

I never mentioned Loops outside of the fediverse, and it continues to grow thanks to people mentioning it on TikTok and other platforms

RE: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/116584530249703838

The open nature of fediverse platforms should be more celebrated.

Twitter, Reddit, Instagram and many more platforms closed off API access, and shut out 3rd party developers to monetize every available surface.

Meanwhile, the fediverse is thriving with app developers creating experiences outside of official apps, and everyone loves that.

That is freedom.

We can't take it for granted.

with webUSB we can build a mastodon breathalyzer

we can also make a browser extension to require you to be sober or lit before you can make a post or other things.

would you find this useful?
