@jeroenpraat Thanks! I'm close to pushing the MVP to github, still need to finish ActivityPub support and some other small things. I have picked a name, will be announcing that soon!
@dansup @jeroenpraat you mean it won’t be #pixelfed?
@El_django LOL. You replied on a post from April.
@El_django @jeroenpraat It is pixelfed, I announced the name a month after the first post.
@dansup @jeroenpraat lol, I missed the dates on this ‘ol thread
@dansup Hype!
@dansup be careful how you brand this, so you don't get sued! But I'm so happy that someone is putting in effort to something like this!
@maloki I appreciate the concern, the name doesnt have "insta" or "gram" in it and I will differentiate the UI so its not an exact copy.
@dansup cool! Still fantastic though!
@einebiene I have seen that, its a good project.
I know its an old thread, but as other people might come her due to @dansup featuring it lately:
quit.im seems to be rather dead, even back in April when this was tooted: https://github.com/hannesmannerheim/quitim
@dansup
Great thing!
@pea I'll be pushing the code soon if you want to work together. I'm using laravel, its like rails but faster.
@pea No worries, if you are using activitpub our instances should have no problem interop wise. If not, I'm willing to support whatever federated protocol you are using.
@pea No, I was not planning on consuming activitystream objects without an image, anyone can subscribe but this is an image first service.
@pea Thats a good point, but consider how popular instagram is. I'm sure people would subscribe to a major brand on a federated instance just like they would on instagram. Now the brands can control and own their own instance. I think the problems we solve will help pave the way for this.
@pea @dansup I don't think it's in poor taste. I think that's how it's supposed to work. It's much better to filter out 95% of posts than to create special properties on top of the standard... Also people on your platform will likely not follow people who post 95% text content, they will most likely either naturally follow other users of your platform, or those from Mastodon/Pleroma who post a lot of pictures that fit with your platform, so don't worry too much about that imo
@pea We should defs continue this discussion. Are you on freenode?
@pea Awesome, maybe we can discuss this further sometime on irc.
@dansup quit.im is something similar, based on #gnusocial
@dansup 😂
@dansup
What will be the name of this project ?
@dansup What will it be called? #curious #interested
@dansup Bring it on!
@dansup where can we see?
@dansup looking good! 👍
@dansup That's your #ActivityPub project. Well that looks suburb! How far are you? And do you have a name?
