  • https://cal.com/ is an #opensource (and self-hostable) "#Calendly Alternative". I've already setup a test account on their site and it's pretty nice so far. https://github.com/calcom/cal.com #TypeScript #JavaScript

  • @ivory is getting a lot of attention right now (and rightfully so) but we are still living in an age similar to early days of #Twitter – apps and browser extensions doing a whole bunch of cool things with #Mastodon. I'm keeping and still using the following iOS apps: "Ice Cubes" (it's open source) from…

    Trying out a “quote” feature from the newly installed Roam 3.0.0. Might be the best method of doing it currently #Mastodon (i'll find out after I post this). From @assaf https://mas.to/users/assaf/statuses/109745225512552289

    Client: “Over the years I've been blindly throwing plugins and third-party scripts into my codebase.” Me: 🤔

  • What i'm liking about @ivory vs. advanced view with #Mastodon is that Ivory shows me the actual reply count to a post ("5") vs the web view "1+". Helpful for me to know how many reply a post is getting.

    Like late 90s Internet history? Then this is gold. #Mozilla celebrates 25th anniversary of mozilla.org and putting out a notice making it’s web browser #opensource. An interesting tour down memory lane here (EARLY stuff older than the Wayback Machine) from @jwz. https://www.jwz.org/blog/2023/01/mozilla-orgs-25th-anniversary/ (Site might be temp down maybe because it's been a little viral recently?)

    https://davidbisset.social update: success… I almost think i've gone as far as I can go with archiving tweets. Thanks to Puppeteer and Browsershot I automatically take a screenshot of my tweet in case Twitter blocks embeds or goes down completely. My own personal Wayback Machine, kinda (don't know yet how to visit each tweet page automatically…

    @mastodeck looks like an almost drop-in replacement for Tweetdeck (but of course for #Mastodon). A little rough around the edges but this a def. shot in replacing the "advanced view" i'm using now in my browser for Mastodon. https://mastodeck.com/

    Client: "I want this website to go to the moon…" Me: "Ok…" Client: "But I don't want to pay a lot…" Me: 🤔

  • I know there isn't a "good" NATIVE #Mastodon app for the Mac, but is there at least a recommendation of something to post to M without the delay and studdering of the web client? 🤔

  • i don't think i've ever yearned to listen to @gruber Talk Show more than this one, reminiscing w/ @chockenberry about early days of iPhone and #Twitter. Almost 3 hours long! https://daringfireball.net/thetalkshow/2023/01/19/ep-367

  • In reply to @davidbisset. Granted this $0.02 comes with very little time in M compared with most. But i've seen this play out in a number of different communities and evidence, like in the case with Toot, is apparent. BTW: I'm 50/50 on quote posts or I don't care that much.

  • My $0.02 on MOST feature requests I've seen on #Mastodon: allow a (smart as possible) way to make it "official" or a "setting" because devs and apps will find a way (which might not be the best way or respecting something that should be respected). On the other hand, how apps tackle "unofficial" features might…

  • Dear #Mastodon: That thread should also be a blog post. Share the url of at the start of the thread. 🧵 I don't care where the post lives. I don't care if it's "a good thread trust me". If it was that good you should take the extra few minutes to make it a single…

  • With WordCamp Asia coming up I would like to do some old fashion quick live posting but the web interface of #Mastodon can't keep up based on previous experience. Tweetdeck on #Twitter can. A shame. Maybe an interface that posts to both. There used to be a live blog plugin for #WordPress (then in theory…

  • Reading more on search with #Mastodon. After reading about #Searchtodon and @anildash lastest piece I then read this one from @ben on his $0.02 and efforts to build a bot to detect scrapers. I'm still forming my opinions (maybe more on that later) but Ben covers a few corners of the discussion I haven't seen…

  • I used #WordPress to upload my #Mastodon posts (and my https://davidbisset.social site syncs with it fine). I cache 50k posts and works great. If you aren't a WP user (and want to go static 100%) then @richard@richard.social post might be of interest. "Creating a static Mastodon user’s archive" https://ricard.dev/creating-a-static-mastodon-users-archive/

  • I know #WordPress has a site for it's 20th anniversary already. https://wp20.wordpress.net When I did the only site for the 19th anniversary: https://wp19.day I bought the next year domain: https://wp20.day I will GUESS what the WP folks will do so I don't want to step on any toes – but any ideas what to do…

  • "Big Picture Goals 2023" for #WordPress from the project's Executive Director @josephahaden. What’s nice to see this on the list: 👉🏻 #PHP 8.2👉🏻 Media management (🤔)👉🏻 #WordPress playground (demo already cool)👉🏻 Community (should tie in nicely with the Community Summit at #WCUS later this year). https://make.wordpress.org/project/2023/01/18/big-picture-goals-2023/

  • My gut feelings so far range to "it's worth a try!' and 'better than nothing' on this but read @anildash proposal for a #Fediverse search (with a focus on "consent") yourself as I think it's worth a read: https://anildash.com/2023/01/16/a-fediverse-search/ #Mastosearch #Searchtodon

  • I'm a advanced column layout user of #Mastodon but I do like and @elk "feels" a bit better if you want to stick with one column. Doesn't help with some of my cons of Mastodon but thinking this and @ivory might help really help those migrating from the T site to help more at home.…

  • As one who dipped their toes into #Mastodon in 2018 and got "into the pool" more in Oct I seem to see an increase in endless arguments and claims just difference of opinion as "hostile" (correct and not). Longer time M users telling newer people to effectively "get off their lawn". Same happens in #opensource.…

  • TIL about #Searchtodon experiment & (with it's closing) @janl excellent retrospective on it: https://searchtodon.social/Adventures-in-Mastoland.html I guess count me in regarding (1) ability to search my timeline for things I missed (I already save/sync my personal #Mastodon posts on https://davidbisset.social) and (2) Jan's last points – #Fediverse will only get bigger and for it's protection and…

    Nice to be featured in Tweets on @Techmeme a few times in the past week..not my best tweet work but it's a highlight for me anyways.

  • Links for someone who doesn't understand terminals, shells and SSH but wants to learn more. 👍🏻 (via @jan) https://j11g.com/2023/01/14/i-dont-understand-terminals-shells-and-ssh/

  • What a day to get into the @ivory beta. I'm in, and it's so far is spectacular.

  • It's been a little while but i'm back on a #podcast! And perfect timing considering the Twitter news today.. @BobWP and I talk if/how on social (do you use LinkedIn and Tumblr like us?). Also what if big #WordPress companies started Mastodon instances? 🤔 Also an Applebee’s mention! That's a way to kick off 2023!…

    Got my first #Nintendo Switch. I don't understand what the hype was about.

  • "I'm PRETTY sure I tested my code before we released it. Why do you ask?" Me: 🤔

    That's a love for 🍕. Starting in 2014, this person logged every slice of #pizza he ate in New York City including location/price. $2.52 to $3.00 for a slice over a period of 8 years isn't bad (it's no Costo hot dog though). https://elkue.com/nyc-slice/
