  • There were 15 stakeholders, 1 full time developer and 20 overseas contracted developers with a 12 hour time zone difference from the full time dev. All designs were done in PowerPoint by one of the stakeholders. The single full time developer was only ever able to talk to the PowerPoint design stakeholder, and the other 14 stakeholders communicated through the single PowerPoint stakeholder. Now that I think about it, the 15 stakeholders may have actually just been the 1 stakeholder pretending to be multiple people.

    I once had a job that worked like that lol





  • Interesting. I run a Threadiverse client on iOS and Android. I haven’t run into any issues with Google, yet.

    Apple has this rule I had to comply with:

    • You must be able to delete your account from the app
    • Lemmy delete account via the API requires password entry, even if you’re already logged in
    • Apple however, claims password entry is too much friction for the user to delete their account
    • A workaround is to link out to Lemmy website to delete your account. Even if you have to enter your password on the website, in Apple’s mind, this is somehow allowed despite being more friction?

    I get the sense Apple wrote these rules to improve user experience, and they’re applied without anyone really considering what effect they’re having on the UX.





  • Lol. Idk I like my iPhone. Absolutely not the labor practices of Apple, I’ve thought about a fairphone. But Apple is privacy focused enough, and I love their design language, both hardware and software. I love Linux, but mostly for SSH not my laptop.

    Firefox is fine, but as a professional frontend developer, I need to test things on a Chromium based browser. I prefer the ethics and privacy of Mozilla, but Chrome is technically a great browser imo.

    But vim, omg. I don’t think there’s a more beautifully designed piece of software. I want to reach wizard level. I want to navigate text like it’s magic with perfect fluidity. Vim is perfect.

    I wonder if anyone else on Lemmy is like me lol.

    I know this isn’t gonna be super popular with the lemmy crowd, but if you’re looking for something really robust, customizable, but also pretty easy to use, Ubiquiti has been great. The cloud gateway max specifically. I think it’s $200 with no storage, but they have other slightly stripped down models for less. But you also need an access point. That’s kinda the benefit though is you can upgrade the access point independently of the router.

    They also have the dream machine if you want a more traditional all in one router + wifi solution.


  • That you! Idk how to explain the fediverse to my mainstream social media friends, but I think a good step 1 is giving them an intuitive front end.

    I would love to eventually onboard people to Lemmy and PieFed through Blorp, but that’s a whole other challenge. Idk how to explain the fediverse to people. In a perfect world, I think people who stumbled across Blorp would figure it out with no prior Fediverse knowledge. Idk how to get there.



  • Idk. There’s a lot of Lemmy clients and many of them are really good. When I started, Voyager didn’t have good support for larger screens, but I think that has changed. I do think I have the best account switching. Voyager will reset the current navigation when you change accounts. Any pages you have open will be cleared. Blorp does not do that. Blorp is also cross platform like Voyager.

    But honestly if you prefer another app, you should use it! All the frontend devs are super cool!


  • Yes! I think I might need Mbin to implement the resolve_object endpoint first. I don’t think they have that currently. Basically I need some way to look up posts by activity pub id. There’s also a strong possibility I won’t implement all of Mbin’s functionality. I might just implement the parts that are most similar to Lemmy. But if you’re looking for one app to login to Lemmy, PieFed, and Mbin, I would like to be that app.
