  1. @reiver @weirdwriter @mathew

    I composed this for flamewar.socia thread on "What is #postfreely for?" but I've gotten impatient and posted here first :-) indieweb.social/@maphew/111835

    It's probably good posted as a general call out anyway, as the thinking is not app or platform specific. Anyway, some of my 2c.

  2. @kalisz79 Z zb3.org będzie jakiś czas spokój, ale ja się i tak migruję z niego.
    Przynajmniej z 2 powodów:
    1. Utrudniony kontakt z załogą zb3.
    2. #WriteFreely jednak mocno ogranicza np. komentarze i interakcje. Jego fork #PostFreely daje jakąś nadzieję na szybszy rozwój, ale to jeszcze plany/wczesna implementacja.

    Choć na magazyn.social oparty o /kbin. W tym tygodniu odpalamy. Oprócz tego, że można tam pisać Artykuły w markdown jak na WriteFreely, to oprócz swojego profilu można też zakładać Magazyny, które mają własny adres na web, taki blog, i da się je fajnie dostosować. Przykład ciekawego magazynu na bin.pol.social pokazał Kuba @kubaurbanowicz tutaj -> bin.pol.social/m/MiddleEast a tutaj przykład artykułu -> bin.pol.social/m/MiddleEast/t/

    Zwróć uwagę na adresy w sieci. A jak wrzucisz w szukajkę na masto, to widać go w prostszej formie, normalnie lata po fedi.

    /kbin ma jeszcze kilka innych zalet: fajne komentarze ładnie powątkowane jak na forum, normalnie odpowiadasz ze swojego profilu kbin, bo do tego ma Notki, czyli jak tootki na #mastodon. WriteFreely jest nieme. I kilka innych jeszcze ale to nie elaborat o kib ;)

    Acha, widzisz też, ile było odsłon artykułu (z web). Masz moderację własną itd.
    Bo on jest nie tylko pod fedi robiony, ale też by dobrze wyglądał normalnie jako strona.

    Zachęcam do rozważenia ;)

    #PostFreely is coming along.

    Mathew and I are mostly doing low-level stuff still. Stuff that is important to do, but aren't necessarily user-facing features.

    Although I started working on password-reset. Which will have parts that are user-facing.

    I'm planning on doing it in a way that is similar to the Mastodon API — since the Mastodon API seems to have become the (defacto) standard Fediverse client-server API.

  5. @Coolmccool for long form it’d probably be #WriteFreely or it’s more recent fork #PostFreely (looks like the former hasn’t had any updates in quite some time - no idea whether it was abandoned?).

    I don’t know about migration options though.

  7. Assume that people have good intentions. Err on the side of being more transparent.

Just wanted to let you know that in my initial post, I made it clear that #PostFreely is actually a fork of #WriteFreely. And as you mentioned, none of this would've been possible without the amazing work of @[email protected].

    Just to make sure he gets credit, too —

    I am not the only one working on #PostFreely

    @mathew and I are working on #PostFreely together.

    We were both there from the beginning. And currently #PostFreely is an effort by the two of us.

    Although @whylamb should also get some credit. As he was the one that encouraged us to create the fork.

  13. Just wanted to share some exciting news with you all.

    My colleague, the talented
    @[email protected], is currently hard at work on an awesome project called #PostFreely. It's actually a fork of the popular #WriteFreely blogging platform.

    Together with other brilliant developers, they're brainstorming a bunch of potential new features for PostFreely. I don't know about you, but I'm really looking forward to seeing how our beloved Fediverse blogging platforms keep evolving. Pretty awesome, right?

  15. Do you have a WordPress blog?

    Would you be willing to share an export of your blog with me?

    wordpress.com/support/export/

    ...

    I want to create an importer from WordPress into PostFreely.

    So that people can bring their WordPress content with them to PostFreely.

    To do this, I need some example WordPress exports.

    ...

    If you are willing to share your WordPress export, please let me know.

  17. CW: programming

    I started working with SQLite recently —

    (SQLite is one of the databases that PostFreely supports. This support was inherited from WF)

    So far I like SQLite

    There is no database-server. And the database seems to just be a single file

    (Might make for easy backups)

    There is even a command-line tool, that lets you inspect and work with a SQLite data file

    I am assuming that SQLite has a much lower "footprint" than MySQL, Postgres, and others

  19. @weirdwriter

    Myself & @mathew are still mostly cleaning up the #PostFreely code right now — before we start adding new features.

    And we are still working on the roadmap, but —

    A lot of the early features are probably going to be things people have been asking for for years.

    • image uploads,
    • password-resets,
    • more smallnet / smallweb support
    • better Fediverse integration,
    • commenting,
    • ability to see Fediverse notifications,
    • improved customization abilities,
    • post previews,
    • etc.

  21. I am investigating improving password resetting in the PostFreely applications.

    PostFreely inherited limited password reset abilities. I am now looking at improving this. And making it so that PostFreely has a more comprehensive set of methods for resetting passwords.

  23. @SrRochardBunson @mathew @whylamb

    Regarding:
    "Ooh, over the #Fediverse please!
    🙏"

    I have a Lemmy server.

    We could create a PostFreely community there.

    It would give us a discussion forum UX, while also keeping the discussion on the Fediverse.

    We should discuss it first though.

    ...

    We could discuss this over the Fediverse.

    Or discuss it over GitHub.

    Or do a video chat to discuss.

    Or something else.

    ...

    What would each of your preferences be?

  27. @mathew @whylamb

    I think it would be a good idea to create a roadmap of what we intend to do.

    As an open-source project — it would help communicate with the world what our plans are.

    (I've already been contacted over DMs about it.)

    ...

    Although before doing that, you usually need to decide WHO you are creating the software for?

    I.e,. what types of people?

    As it is usually their problems you are trying to solve, and their wants that you are trying to address.
