Wild idea I had this night including :pixelfed: @pixelfed:
What about using the wonderful work of Pixelfed to make a tweaked version of it with the https://Dribbble.com of 2012 in mind (without the "professional social networking & corpo portfolio):
> somewhere to share your art creations, designs (illustration, interfaces, animations, prints), finished or just prototypes/WIP.
That goal would be to make a place for artists, designers and not only photographers to have a place to make community, exchange on their works and search for inspiration on a place adapted to them.
That modifications would be to adjust the UI and maybe adjust some features to
Make it less photo centered
Dedicate a bigger place for research (maybe encourage posters to use hashtags and dedicate a better place for popular hashtags?)
Have a grid layout view as default feed instead of the Instagram/microbloging vertical one one medium and larger screens, to navigate more easily through creations
Other ideas are obviously welcome.
The advantage would be to not have to recreate another Fediverse thing from scratch, Pixelfed code should be able to handle all those "frontend changes".
