#koype — Public Fediverse posts

Going to add more instructions but running #Koype is as simple as pulling down a Docker container now! https://hub.docker.com/r/blackaf/koype is going to be the canonical place for pulling it.

`docker pull blackaf/koype` :)

alright bet

So @zee and I are going to go live. Largely going to look into #Koype and kinda winging it (lol not really)

Pull up at 9 PM PDT to https://twitch.tv/jackyalcine

had a good sleep since being back home in #Oakland. Kept thinking a lot about how I wanted to spin up flexible instances for #Koype and immediately I locked down on the notion that I will not lock it down to one cloud provider

@kensanata For a while, I considered using diaspora* to write long-form blog posts (I didn't though), but the diaspora* instance I signed up on disappeared without notice taking my account down with it. 😥

Sticking with good old blogs for now. POSSE FTW I guess.

I should probably take a look at @jalcine 's koype project sometime.

I want to make hosting for #koype accessible for all but I also need to make sure I keep the servers running. I keep looking at Dat + Multi-writer support as a potential answer for this. But I'd also would need Dat available either in Elixir or build some kind of syndication tool between Dat and Koype.

Hey there! If you wanna keep me moving on things like #activitydesk or #koype; let @fosstodon know! https://donations.fosstodon.org/index.php/241929?lang=en

#funding #backing

That's for #activitydesk. I need to really look into stuff for #koype soon.

I still have to finish making themes for #koype

I think the "only" thing about AP so far that's been interesting for me is that it has a concept of "closed" messages (aka things that won't appear on the timeline without authentication). That's something that's been thought about in the IndieWeb world (https://indieweb.org/private_posts) and tbh if a implementation comes out before I get some basic AP support into #Koype, I might not bother with AP

working on figuring out release builds for #koype so I can make it easier to share / build / test for people

That said, I'm overdue for a blog post update about #koype and its place in the #fediverse.

I have to be honest with y'all - it's more or less a CMS that's socially inclined, lol.

Lmfao my personal server just automatically restarted just as I was attempting to federate some posts from #koype

I don't know where I should hold chat about #koype (like live chat). I think I'm going to forgo that and just make a Discourse instance somewhere

I just need to do the following now:
- get tests in order
- get user docs in shape
- get dev docs in shape
- build docker images

then I'll tag and release then do the following:
- move https://koype.net to run on #koype and be the authority of its info re: content

#koype soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon lol

yeah I might just have to work on getting native AP support into #Koype.

For those of y'all interested in #Koype, I've made a survey to get some thoughts to help rear in some product direction I have for it. https://blackaf.typeform.com/to/l7fKGo

Nah, Erlang is freaking amazing. It comes with a decompression library for tarballs and Zip files. That's making the logic for downloading new themes into #Koype SO much easier.

Now I'm wondering how many extra Hex packages I pull when I can leverage system libraries.

Hey in case you missed it, #Koype moved from my personal Git server at https://git.jacky.wt/indieweb/koype to https://gitlab.com/black.af/koype. I'm still moving the issue to Gitlab but feel free to check it out!

Took a bit of work but I’ve moved #Koype from my personal Git server over to the umbrella organization for @blackaf on Gitlab. This’ll be the more communal place for the project.

https://v2.jacky.wtf/post/4c0cc60a-179a-442e-bad3-af5511ecf49a

I finally did it. #Koype has support for custom themes.

#Koype finally has a release date.

Took me like 1hr30mins to add a bunch of tests (acceptance and unit) for TOTP secret rotation (a new feature in #Koype) - all live! Recorded here on Twitch. Maybe in the future, I’ll run it live from my own server!

(read more: https://v2.jacky.wtf/post/e0a176b2-5e40-4389-b444-5b5f32fc25f5)

ohai! I decided to live-code some stuff I'm working on for #Koype (namely cycling TOTP secrets when they've expired) http://twitch.tv/jackyalcine/

updated the INSTALL docs for #Koype over at https://docs.koype.net/dev/install/

ugh I wanna show y'all want I'm working on for #Koype but this actually has to be a 'secret' of sorts

I just became a Patreon of @jalcine . He's the first person I've ever backed on that platform.

He's generous (quickly offered to host a video on PeerTube for me, answers questions on Mastodon regularly, etc.) and I love the way he is tying together #intersectional politics with #FreeSoftware and the #IndieWeb.

He's building #Koype a personal website with IndieWeb features baked in. It's taking a user-centered approach, intending to be as easy as Wordpress.

Going to see if I can optimize #Koype for Heroku-buildpack style deploys. I use that via Dokku for my personal and work sites. Might be interesting to use that for Erlang binary deploys as well.

shit someone on here emailed me about building #Koype.

that said, if you do wanna try your hand at https://git.jacky.wtf/indieweb/koype/src/branch/develop/INSTALL.markdown

@trwnh You know, I'm actually about to start working on that for #Koype and I was just going to go the 'easy' way - drop replies if there's a flag on this post to not accept responses.

I have to take a closer look at those two options (largely LitePub - I wonder if it's been formalized).

One thing I'm eyeballing for the future with #Koype is to literally backfill _all_ of my data from silos and then doing a edit/delete of the other copies. I'm just wondering if the tool would be useful to other people. It'd be converting everything into #Microformats2 friendly information.

I'm trying to punt on looking at adding ActivityPub support into #Koype because of my eagerness to have #LitePub support.

I could see it having both (or me implementing AP to have better understanding of what LP might need)

Getting closer to having #Koype more #indieweb compliant. I'm using Indigenous (https://indigenous.adobe.pub) for Android to handle mobile posting and Quill (https://quill.p3k.io) to handle desktop posting. So far, it's a little janky.

Once I get proper JF2 storage, then I can probably have simple MF2 markup (and maybe squeeze in some other markup formats?) in there.

After that, I can either look into making it simpler to deploy/turn-key host or look into adding #litepub support.
