@dansup I like what you are doing though it doesn't benefit me as a WordPress user that I can tell.

Another use case would be having a link to an onboarding tool on profile pages, which could be tailorable for instances.

It could see someone not logged in, and given them the option of creating an account on the instance, or another instance.

This might even help with distributing new users to other instances.

It's a thought.

@knowprose@mastodon.social I'm pretty sure this is what @dansup@mastodon.social was trying to make with this but maybe I'm wrong.

@dansup Hello, I didn't quite understand the use case but on the web site I see accessibility and universal. I didn't see anything about language. Something monolingual is neither accessible nor universal =/ Maybe it's coming soon

@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.

@moshimotsu But it's fun! And in open source, you're never alone. Worried about Daniel's time and energy? You can always lend a hand! @dansup

@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.
