#fedireader — Public Fediverse posts

Private mentions are starting to look really good in #FediReader

Hoping to add a few more tweaks before the next release

#Mastodon #SocialWeb #BuildInPublic #IndieApps

I actually do use the tab bar reordering in #FediReader

I like to reverse my tab bar for reachability

Build 157 of #FediReader is available now!

What’s New
- Reorganize your tab bar to have the tabs you find most important
- Have lists live in their own tab instead of swiping between them
- Bookmarks and Followed Hashtags now available within the app
- Option to swap between FediReader, Safari, and External Browser for article reading

Bug Fixes
- Updating theme color works on the whole settings page now

My current battle is trying to get the ability to reorder tabs any way you want in #FediReader

Totally underestimated how frustrating it would be

Currently trying to implement a custom 'More' tab for when there are more than 5 tabs in the tab bar

Working on getting some of the first user requested features added to #FediReader

Going to be mostly focused around list management and web viewer options

Things will be a little slower while I'm on a work trip this week, but keep an eye out for the next build!

Finally caught back up on triaging issues for #FediReader

I'm now up to 52 open issues

So I should probably get working on those

Thanks to everyone who's submitted TestFlight feedback, mentioned me here, or directly submitted GitHub issues!

#Developer #BuildInPublic #SocialWeb #Mastodon

#Flipboard and #Lemmy are the main interaction points for a lot of my use in #FediReader

I do hope to build other adapters too

Like potentially making services like #Pixelfed and #Loops more enjoyable to consume via a #Mastodon account

I'm not entirely sure if these apps will feasibly expand past the Mastodon API, but, as a consumer and a creator of the #SocialWeb, I really like the concept of having one account

I've slowly been shifting from "if you don't have an RSS feed, I'm not going to see it" to "if you don't have an ActivityPub feed, I'm not going to see it"

Which is why #FediReader exists at all

And Build 92 of #FediReader is out featuring a major overhaul to the #iPadOS app as well as some updates to the list picker

Working on the iPadOS version of #FediReader tonight, coming soon to an iPad near you

I really need to make FediReader for the web, don’t I?

#Developer #FediReader #SocialWeb #Mastodon

Next steps are protections against accidentally adding new users, hiding all of the unnecessary @ mentions in the message content, and a bit of a design improvement

#FediReader

Private messaging that feels like real DMing in #FediReader

Build 89 of #FediReader adds a ton of fixes for private mentions, including a revamped user search, reply fetching, and more

Fixes
- Tags maintain their original case
- Bug where tags would show twice in different cases

Super interested in these Social Web “adapter” apps where you can log in with a single #SocialMedia account and have different experiences across them

To me, it feels like a simpler option than constantly making new accounts across the #SocialWeb

One identity, one social graph, one presence

Anyway, while I’ve got #FediReader, #BestOMasto from @matt_birchler is another great example of this concept

@countablenewt

Wonderful. I have added #FediReader to the delightful #fediverse clients curated list. It will be available after the next site generation takes place at..

https://delightful.coding.social/delightful-fediverse-clients/

RE: https://mastodon.social/@countablenewt/116033103469375924

Not every client for every #ActivityPub service needs to show all content

Take #FediReader, for example

Most of the content on #Mastodon isn't immediately visible in the UI

Posts without links don't show up at all, quote boosts don't show up at all, and any text content shared with the post is hidden in the post detail view

The fun thing about the #SocialWeb is that we can make highly opinionated clients like this for the people who want it

For those that don't, they don't have to use it

#DemocracyOfReach project ideas:

#FediFBNextDoor - comfy communities for normies

#FediOGTwitter - it's not microblogging, it's a news feed

#FediPodcasts - AP instead of RSS would make them social

#FediReader - articles and text to speech

#FediYouTube - places for all peertube + owncast content

#FediSpotify - separate artist sites w unified streaming

#FediRadio - indy w chat

#WebMonetization - fiat protocol

#PublicPatron - pay what you can afford based on time spent with their work
