    Imagine sharing a link to your fediverse account to someone not on the fediverse, hoping they follow you.

    Now imagine instead that the link you share takes them to a beautiful yet simple landing page that carefully guides them to the ideal platform, geographically closest, and helps them through the onboarding process, recommends the best desktop/mobile client and then follows you from their new account.

    Stop dreaming. I'm building this. Wanna help?

    @dansup You’re building way too many things at once… Loops only just hit the public, and then you were supposedly working on Sup, and now you’re doing something else? Like the passion is awesome but this feels like an infrastructural level of feature creep. Every project you (and anyone) have always has points of improvements, especially with only one primary developer, and you’re just chasing the next shiny thing. This isn’t focus or growth, this is a lack of clear goals.

        @dansup I have a similar micro-project running on https://fediverse.ooo for quick linking to objects while being software agnostic, maybe that can be incorporated somehow?

        The way I’m running it is to allow for future direct replacement of https://fediverse.ooo/example -> fediverse://example

            @rolle @dansup While true, allowing yourself to neglect projects that you’ve built in the past and are still not complete (because FOSS projects never are…) AFTER they’ve had time to become a part of users’ social infrastructure is a massive exercise in shirked responsibility. And lending a hand becomes less tenable when the maintainer who will ACCEPT those lended hands is spreading himself thin across multiple projects; one man can only approve so many PRs.

              @rolle @dansup Frankly, I have no issue with Dansup starting a lot of projects, especially when they’re thematically interrelated. I have an issue with him starting them alone. There’s been no word about organized teams and collective maintainers being deployed to any of his numerous projects, such that he could take on the role of “vision lead” while well-capable programmers support the groundwork he’s laid. Delegation needs to happen when you scale this fast.

                      it seems rather rude to me to decide to tell someone what their priorities should be. it is true he's one person and there's a lot to do. so he needs help, he doesn't need a self-appointed boss. do you pay him? no. so he does whatever he wants. that's the way it should be

                          @dansup I recall seeing similar projects to this in the past. I wonder if that's a case of those old projects not getting well known.

                              Let me know what kind of help you need and when you need it - I design and implement APIs often, and am decent with TypeScript - this seems like a good opportunity to get on-hand experience with FediDB's APIs

                                @dansup sounds like something the fediverse would really benefit from!

                                I hope you can build up a team of folks working on this together 🙂 you stay really busy, and it takes working together to build something with a big impact, especially when you're juggling lots of projects

                                I'm rooting for you!

                                  Imagine sharing a link to your fediverse account to someone not on the fediverse, hoping they follow you.

                                  Now imagine instead that the link you share takes them to a beautiful yet simple landing page that carefully guides them to the ideal platform, geographically closest, and helps them through the onboarding process, recommends the best desktop/mobile client and then follows you from their new account.

                                  Stop dreaming. I'm building this. Wanna help?

                                  @dansup I knew you could fix this Fediverse issue!

                                  Do you remember this?

                                  @dansup@mastodon.social you're a beast! It's incredible what you've been doing for the fediverse! Thank you! I love the fediverse but it still isn't very user friendly when you need to interact with other instances. For example, if I click on a link to your Mastodon profile and it is on a different instance than mine, the flow to follow you or favorite or retoot one of your posts isn't very intuitive. There is a lot of people asking for the creation of some web-based protocol handlers for ActivityPub but this proposal never gets attention... Maybe you're the man to make it real! I'll let a link with some links to this proposal on various places so you can have a better idea of what I'm talking about. https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/web-based-protocol-handlers-for-activitypub-resources/3563/3 Thanks again and sorry for the long text.

                                    it seems rather rude to me to decide to tell someone what their priorities should be. it is true he's one person and there's a lot to do. so he needs help, he doesn't need a self-appointed boss. do you pay him? no. so he does whatever he wants. that's the way it should be

                                    @benroyce @rolle @dansup Oh, I don’t mean to dictate what someone’s priorities ought or ought not to be; you’re right, that’s their prerogative. But Daniel’s established that his priority is to support the Fediverse by building strong platforms for it; vision dissonance takes time away from working on the software that thousands of Fedizens now depend on, which runs in contradiction to his OWN priorities. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

                                      @moshimotsu Anyone can start a thousand open source projects if they want, even just as experiments. That's how open source grows - by letting people try new things without judgment. You still sound too judgmental and nitpicky. My point stands. @benroyce @dansup

                                        so you were called out for being bossy

                                        and you reply to that call out with...

                                        patronizing dan and continuing to act bossy

                                        😂

                                        marcial,

                                        you're the problem with the fediverse:

                                        these fucking entitled, controlling busybodies

                                        you think you can concern troll and demand of other people's attention and time on the premise that you, who don't do shit, somehow are the boss

                                        no marcial, you aren't

                                        what you do is:

                                        you help dan

                                        or you shut the fuck up

                                        understand, asswipe?

                                          ah. ok

                                          the "polite society" song and dance routine that coddles concern trolls

                                          marcial is not contributing shit, alexandre

                                          marcial is patronizing and condescending and micromanaging someone else's concerns and priorities

                                          that is a troll angle Alexandre, nothing more

                                          why do you defend that?

                                          *that* is what is uncalled for
