## Tapir updates... Moving right along!
Tapir is coming along nicely, with continued active development and commits in just the past few days.
I never get this right, #SmallWeb, #SmolWeb, or... Let's just say it's one of the latest in single user, exceedingly simple to deploy #Fediverse servers that you can carry around in your bookbag on your laptop, or conveniently on your desktop workstations.
It's written in Deno, so, think Typescript/JavaScript/Node in a safe by default implementation.
I'm personally looking forward to Adam hopefully showcasing his work and just how simple it is to get up and running during the upcoming #ActivityConf expected to occur at the end of October.
He's got great aspirations for it and here's a bit of what the roadmap has at this time:
* broad fediverse compatibility
* install directly from a URL with one Deno command
run with limited permissions (just --allow-net and a single folder)
* sqlite and postgres backends
* multiple personas (users) with one login and one home timeline (the main account can leverage OAuth)
* personas can have different timeline styles (make it look like Pixelfed)
* build your own federated timeline from multiple servers
* post scheduling
* sophisticated filter rules and a customizable home timeline algorithm
* follow RSS feeds, Nitter feeds, maybe Nostr feeds
* personal full-text search
* a plugin system
Much like what most Fediverse platforms enjoy, like #Friendica, #Mitra, and Takahē, Tapir accounts can be connected to by following, @-mentioning, replying to, and boosting posts or Quote Posting them. There's also a link for feeds.
You too can follow along with the project by following now or asking questions of the developer at @tapir - even in this early stage of development, #Tapir supports most all of the features you've come to take for granted from a solid platform from which to engage in social communications with others in the Fediverse and beyond in much the same way as you already do from your #Pleroma, #Soapbox, and #Calckey accounts - without the hassles or uncertainty of having to depend upon someone else's infrastructure and all the baggage that comes with that.
I'm not aware of a Matrix room or IRC support channel at this moment, but all in good time.
Later I'll do a deeper drill down and publish an article, perhaps even be afforded the opportunity for an interview, and I'll be covering others in depth too, namely, #MicroblogPub and #Bovine - two other very fine and capable SmallWeb, er... SmolWeb, ummm... forget it, **single-user Fediverse servers**. 🤙
I regularly showcase existing and emerging #DeSoc development in #Fediverse-city:matrix.org and circle back around every so often with updates concerning these free and privacy respecting decentralized technologies, everyone is welcome and the best insight into these software projects trends to emanate from others who offer their input and experiences. Maybe we'll see you there too...
And remember, you can haz #Cheezburgerz! 🍔
