Congrats to the whole Friendica team for a huge release! Why? It brings Friendica over to the #ActivityPub world, bringing compatibility with tens of additional projects not reachable via #OStatus, #Diaspora or #DFRN protocols. 🎉
I would like to congratulate and welcome @Philipp Holzer to the #Friendica Core Development Team!
Philip has single-handedly sparked the much needed unit testing project on the Friendica codebase. Those unit tests run on every GitHub pull request by a Travis CI hook and have already been catching quite a number of bugs before they made it to the develop branch. At the moment these tests are mostly covering the API used by mobile apps, but the long-term goal is to be able to cover the whole codebase.
Philip has also been creating the official Friendica Docker image https://github.com/friendica/docker for easier deployment and is dutifully maintaining it with each new Friendica release.
Since he made himself indispensable to the project over the last several months, we had no other choice than add him to the Friendica Core Development Team.
Here's to a well-deserved promotion and to a lasting impact on the Friendica project!
A somewhat older (2016) but still interesting article about the history of #Hubzilla. Also contains a biography of Mike Macgirvin the developer that started #Friendica, Hubzilla and #Osada. It's interesting to learn that Mike launched Mistpark, the predecessor of Friendica, before #Diaspora*.
♲ @wakest@libranet.de: I like that you can rename people you follow here on #Friendica. There are some people who like to have ridiculous display names. Looking at you @Leo Brown
Another bunch of users to interact with... a more viable alternative to FB and #Diaspora, because #activitypub (and #zot) is the future of decentralised social net.
Dies alles ist von Anfang September bis heute geschehen. D.h. pro Tag haben wir ein Issue bearbeitet und 2-3 Pull Requests erstellt. Ich finde das super! Vielen Dank an alle Beteiligten, egal ob ihr programmiert, getestet oder "einfach nur" eure Wünsche geäußert habt!
Hm. Das habe ich mir dann ein wenig anders vorgestellt. Ich habe aus f-droid die App #friendiqa installiert. Im Grunde zeigt das Ding die wichtigsten Sachen an, aber die Möglichkeiten Einstellungen vorzunehmen sieht mir extrem schlicht aus. So schreibt das Teil permanent mit einer kranken Klein-/Grosschrift Wechsele und ich kann das NIRGENDS ändern.
Gibt es hier Menschen die einen Tipp für mich haben?
♲ @dica@MELD.de: DiCa - v0.1.6 release - feature: hashtag linkable - feature: hashtag search page - feature: login page can quick select Friendi.ca server list; new registration link ( create account API later) - feature: multiple photos upload support (maximum 3 photos) - filter pod_feeder link - better UI/UX for compose dialog and show posting progress - when publish status, even compose dialog close, still work (no recommend to do so) - when not publish yet, dialog close; open compose dialog again, will keep last state which you selected photos. - change temp file directory from sdcard to app cache folder; and delete on exit
