Continuing my dive into Calckey's Plugins with a "Share to Mastodon" action item. Using the plugin framework, I can add new menu items to various parts of the Calckey UI. And then open a new window to my generated url.

An interesting aspect is that the framework allows access to the Calckey API. Check the end of the post for the developer details if you're so inclined.

Pre-coffee trivia: If you wake up early enough, you get to watch shows like “help my house is haunted” and apparently more than 50% of people believe in spirits, ghosts and similar.

Wow, @stefan has done an amazing job pulling together a somehow concise yet detailed reference for any developer looking to start coding in the fediverse. Bookmark!

One thing it demonstrates is that while these apps are based on ActivityPub, making them all accessible in a single front end is still complicated. Each has their own separate authentication and API, many with a bridge to the Mastodon API for compatibility.

So what #lemmy instance is everyone joining? I primarily use Reddit for #Swift and #StarWars stuff.

How can @phanpy still not be listed on the Join Mastodon website? @Mastodon

@radiant shines through in the growing collection of Mastodon apps with the multi-tag timeline feature. It's a breeze to create and view them, and you can pin them right alongside your other timelines for easy access. 🔥

I've enjoyed working on little bits of code for #Calckey (or, "The Platform Formerly Known As Calckey"). The community is pleasant, understanding and fun. It's growing quickly.

I hope the rest of the fediverse, large and small, will support them as they grow in the coming years.

After 5(?) months of weekend development, the day has come! 🙌

Tonight, I'm introducing a new Calckey Plugin (my first release)!

The Highlighter Plugin will take a specific word or short phrase and highlight it throughout your timelines. You can customize the colors and turn a sparkle effect off or on.

When I'm happy to commit something to GitHub, I often forget that ending your commit message with an exclamation point isn't allowed. Gives me a chuckle. GitHub is saying "jeez, calm down". 😆

git commit -m "Registration Bug fixed...finally!"  

But #til you can do use single quotes and it works fine.

git commit -m 'Registration Bug fixed...finally!'  

I guess I should stick to formal boring commits, but this is just for private hobby repos so let me have some fun.

Calckey Plugins are an overlooked component of the platform. Mostly because documentation is scarce about what they are and how to use them. No more!

Here's my first post in a series on plugins, introducing the concept and providing a guide to ensure users can make informed decisions about installing plugins they find in the community.

So I purchased a new desktop PC for my parents and have been setting it up for them. I've been a Mac household for at least 10 years, but fully windows at work.

I...I think...I...like...no!

Quick, tell me about a Linux distro or how much better Macs are before I say something I'll regret! I think they are tricking me with the iMac like exterior.

Here's an #ArcBrowser boost I made in about 5 minutes. It affects the official Mastodon site, changing the theme to a purple pastel. It also hides all post interaction counts.

#ArcBrowser has a feature that makes the chrome developer console end user friendly to alter the style of any site (and add javascript too), then share those collections of edits to others.

More and more sites are allowing customizations like this (dark mode, font sizes, themes). And the share feature makes it fun.

Calckey / Misskey kind of have this already.

But I can see this ruffling some front-end feathers, right? birdsite 🪶 🪶

#TIL you can save your Calckey website preferences by visiting Settings > Preference backups.

This backup includes not only your configured preferences, but also your plugins, widgets, custom css, and themes you've installed.

You can save more than one configuration ("Mobile Mode", "Minimal Mode", "Halloween Theme", "Serious Mode") and load them as desired. Nice!

Finally getting stuck into that code review (meant to start last night, but... well you all heard about that already 🤪).

Also, I seem to have completely forgotten when I should put in a Javadoc comment for a class 😅
