I created a new mastodon account today as part of theforkiverse.com (yes I'm Fediversemaxxing as Casey says) and I have to say that new user onboarding has gotten SO much better. Particularly love the welcome email. Well done @npub1xzmt...eykm and team!!
Today's Search Engine and Hard Fork podcasts were super fun to listen to!!
Excited that @npub1a24y...dkqm@npub1ln8d...l5ml and @npub1nx6c...g4w2 are building their own Mastodon instance called the Forkiverse.
And I absolutely loved the vibe coding experiments Casey and Kevin did to make their own personal web sites (cnewton.org and kevinroose.com)
Feels like we are taking some of the best aspects of the internet we loved and lost and bringing them together with new tech in ways that are incredibly promising for the internet going forward. Bravo.
Must listen.
I've never been more excited about the future of the social web than I am today.
If you're developing on ActivityPub or AT Proto I want to reassure you that your work will make a difference. Big wheels are turning.
Hello fediverse!
I'm feeling a bit guilty for not posting more recently. It's because I've been insanely heads down on product work.
It's thoroughly humbling how the last 5% of a product consumes 95% of the development time. So many edge cases to accommodate. So many performance improvements to make. So many devices and screen sizes to optimize for. Across web browsers, operating systems, email clients, protocols, phones, tablets, laptops, desktops. Plus GDPR and CCPA. OMG.
Mad respect for any software developer who is able to ship anything worthwhile these days.
