“The simplicity of HTML and CSS now feels like a radical act. To build a website with just these tools is a small protest against platform capitalism: a way to assert sustainability, independence, longevity.” — Jarrett Fuller
#Frontend developers around? We'd appreciate a helping hand with improving the Codeberg dark theme (also w.r.t. colour contrast), or even more contributors to Forgejo.
Extracting a single channel from the #SVG#filter input is what made the following possible with little code, no text duplication whatsoever and no wrapping of individual letters in an element each.
✨ complex shadows
✨ wavy text
✨ randomly offset letters in paragraph
The only good stack out there (opinionated). You don’t need 40MB of memory taken just to start the Node.js runtime and seas of NPM dependencies just to get basic functionality working. I’m excited to learn this when I finish my portfolio.
Firstly, don't forget to post your #intro (with that hashtag), as many fediverse users are following/watching that hashtag. You can also check: https://fediverse.info/explore/people
Secondly, don't be shy in using hashtags in your post and on your profile description. Hashtags will help big time in content discovery.
Now, the technical terms you might encounter, and hopefully won't get confused.
There are different fediverse software available, for example #Mastodon is the one running on your instance. Each software offers a different set of features.
An instance is the same as a server. Each instance is running on one particular fediverse software.
Different instances are interoperable and interconnected. They do this through the #ActivityPub protocol, which is a #WebStandard managed by the @w3c.
There are also fediverse group services like https://chirp.social and https://a.gup.pe - Chirp Social allows for moderation but requires creating an admin account. Guppe groups doesn't offer moderation features, however, it is the easiest to create (in case you are interested in starting your own). Both are free-of-charge.
There are also custom #frontend available. Some instances offer their own custom frontend. This is different from themes/skins. For example, this post, I sent it from the https://phanpy.social frontend for Mastodon. There is also https://trunks.social frontend also for Mastodon. Think #Twitter, but you're accessing it from #TweetDeck.
There are also mobile apps available. Some can handle different fediverse software, some only made specifically for one particular fediverse software.
The fediverse was born in 2008-05-18 when Evan Prodromou sent the first message “This is my first post”.
The term “fediverse” was only coined on 2012-05-25 by Mark Eckenwiler. It was known originally as #Identiverse which was coined by Luke Slater on 2010-03-14.
The current protocol, ActivityPub, was started on 2014-09-06 and only became a web standard on 2018-01-23. The first protocol was known as #OpenMicroBlogging which later was replaced by #OStatus in 2010-03-04.
🇫🇷 Les listes de front-end alternatifs que j'ai pu trouver sur internet étant très peu à jour, j'en ai démarré une nouvelle.
N'hésitez pas à me faire des suggestions sur Codeberg ou ici.
🇬🇧 As the lists of alternative front ends I've found on the internet are not very up-to-date, I've started a new one. Feel free to make suggestions on Codeberg or here.
Someone on hacker news thought to suggest that the influx of tech bros is partly responsible for bad design in modern web dev … can you guess how calm they remained over there?
Too many #ux designers and #frontend devs focus on mobile "features" of dubious utility and neglect the core functionality of every software product: the form.
The loop of "read thing -> enter data -> click button" needs to work smoothly before anything else. Much has been written about the first and last two but @scottjenson has a valuable contribution here about the middle step: the abysmal current-state experience of text entering & editing on mobile.
