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).
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.
I’ve implemented next cool features in the #Vernissage. One of them is application’s badge indicating new unread notifications (this can be enabled in application settings). Still not push notifications, but better than nothing 😉.
It’s the last feature which I want to implement in the new Version (2.0). Now I need some time for testing and I will send new version to Apple (really soon) 😊.
Proof of concept of reblogs in #Vernissage implemented 😊. Now I have to add switch to disable/enable that feature in the application settings and few more days of tests.
It's official. AirPods Pro is a piece of crap. Six months after purchase, both headphones began to crackle when walking with the noise reduction on. Both headphones replaced under warranty. After a year and a half exactly the same thing. It is impossible to use noise reduction. Warranty expired. Never again.
I’m experimenting with grid of (square) photos on the user timeline in the #Vernissage. And I don't know. I'm not 100% sure that I want to deliver something like that. We can see part of the image, which I don't like and it's not so convenient for sensitive photos and for multiple photos (where we have a carousel) 🤔. What do you think?
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.
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?
New version of the #Vernissage has been sent to Apple. I’m really happy how reblogs (boosts) are working right now in the #Pixelfed. I hope you will be happy with the implementation in the #Vernissage 😉.
@dansup Something is wrong with unfollowing hashtags. I stopped following all of them a few hours ago, but new posts with these hashtags are still appearing on my timeline (on Pixelfed web and in the API).
Is there any list of following hashtags in the Pixelfed web?
@mgrzeca I saw that you managed to run an instance of #Vernissage. That is impressive 🤩. If you see that I can improve the documentation somehow please let me know.
A few months ago I decided to start writing my own server for Vernissage for a couple of reasons. Firstly (and most importantly) I wanted to see what ActivityPub and Fediverse were all about. It was just an experiment.
Over time, however, I found that the iOS client would never be what I wanted it to be if it depends on a platform over which I had no influence. And over which its users also have no (or minimal) influence.
I added two new features to #Vernissage. New tag with information about muted boosted statuses and new setting: “Hide statuses without ALT text”. Now few days of test and I will release a new version 😊.
Reblogs in #Vernissage tested. I’m really happy with the results. I added four new icons and probably tomorrow I will send new release to Apple for review 😉.
Test explorer in Xcode 15 is a crap. I'm so frustrated right now. During the test run the list of tests is refreshing million times. Status of test (green/red boxes) are disappearing. Finding failing tests is a nightmare. Is there any way to fix this? #XCode#Swift
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 😉.
I have to say that the depth of the new iPad Pro 11 is really impressive. It’s 0,8mm thinner than my iPad Air 4th. But it’s so noticeable. And the screen is awesome. But the lack of the charger is a failure.
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) ❤️📸
