Now I’m participating in Photo Summit Day 2024 in Wroclaw. I love photography. I love the whole process of taking photos (finding subject, taking photos and editing them) ❤️📸
Next thing that I would like to implement (after the summer) is the “Photo book” (virtual photo book). Users will have option to combine photos in one set. And the presentation of that photos will be totally different than regular timeline.
I think photographers will like that feature 🫣.
I don’t want to recreate Instagram, Stories, TikTok or another platform. I have my own vision 😉.
Small relax during #VernissageWeb development. Application badge is now supporter (when we receive any notification push counter is automatically refreshed) and I improved a little bit notifications screen. I’m super happy how notification pushes are working now 😊. This is must have feature for any social network platform. Am I right?
Web Push notifications implemented. Even on iPhone with application added on home screen (as a bookmark, PWA application) we can enjoy notifications 😎. Added push notifications for native applications should be super easy now.
@mgrzeca There is a new service VernissagePush: https://github.com/VernissageApp/VernissagePush. On GitHub there is an description how to install it. It’s a verys simple node express application with one endpoint (e.g. http://server.com/send). You have to specify there only one environment variable (for authentication purposes).
With Angular SSR (server side rendering), I was able to add Open Graph meta tags. This allows Vernissage pages to be shown more interestingly than just a link 😉.
After three days of fighting with Angular SSR, reading a million pages, I finally managed to configure it. This makes VernissageWeb more SEO-friendly. Also Mastodon is able to correctly verify the user profile 😊.
@jgg Apple is bigger in the China then TikTok in the US 😉. Apple has 15.7% of Chinese smartfonie market share, ~210mln of users. Also they earn $20bn in China. TikTok earn $11bn in the US.
@digerata hehe yeah. But they don’t ask Zuckerberg for selling it to them 😉.
The United States cannot accept that it is no longer the only entity imposing the rules of the game. Therefore, the free market will be less and less useful to them. The free market they introduced.
@digerata But that's the point. All the time the US was talking about the open market, free trade, etc. They talked about the superiority of their ideology, democracy, etc.
Therefore, it's probably normal that we expect higher standards from the US than from (communist) China.
But this is of course my point of view, far from the US 😉.
New feature in Vernissage Web 😊. It will be possible to use AI to help generate photo descriptions. This makes it very easy and faster to add such a description. Sometimes we need to clarify or simplify the description, but in most cases it is very good.
@Ninerjoshua short answer is: no. That feature requires some backend support (to enable for specific user) or require the introduction of a paid version of the app.
I kindly inform you that Etsy has blocked my account for reasons unknown to me because there are no details in the information I got from them! I appealed but they have 2 (two) weeks to reply!
I find this approach outrageous because the first step should be to contact the seller to clarify the problem!
We are totally dependent on coprorations and their heartless approach to people. Bots, mindless bots are everywhere.
@TomaszSusul Incredible 🤯. I hope it unlocks faster. It's always safest to be the website owner. It's a pity that sometimes it is very difficult or even impossible.
Okay, so, remember how I had some big news? Well, I didn't get to announce it yesterday as I was unwell (I've been unwell most of the month and could really do with extra financial support right now!)
The big news is that my FIRES project has been granted funding by NLNet (@NGIZero) Entrust fund.
What is FIRES? It's a project I've been slowly working since September last year, and provides a server for maintaining and distributing moderation advisories and recommendations.
Today I improved the user profile in #Vernissage (web) a bit. I added latest followers section, buttons for bookmarked and liked lists with photos. And other small changes and fixes.
@oliver Thank you 😊. I would like to add migration of account (with images/statuses) in the near future. First I want to test as much as possible ActivityPub integration, UI/UX etc.
