#Calckey announcement

boost_requested

So, drumroll please...

🥁🥁🥁

Here's what's coming up!

Yes, Calckey is undergoing a full rebranding!! But it's more than that. We've worked for MONTHS on this, and there's going to be a lot of changes and exciting things coming up. This includes:

- A new name and logo
- Press releases?!?!
- A super sick trailer video
- A full roadmap for the next couple YEARS
- A new flagship server that will be AUTOMATICALLY MIGRATED TO from calckey.social (a Fediverse first!)
- A cute new mascot

<(I'm not cute?!)
- A new code hosting service with better CI/CD
- The stable release you've all been waiting for, but not as v14.0.0... as v1!!

And this is all coming on

July 19th.

Save the date.

@kainoa the countdown begins!

@kainoa WOW!! Make sure to find time to take care of yourself too, though!! Chris was right to call your work "herculean!"

Siavash Jul 9, 2023

@kainoa Will [mastodon] posts import be in the roadmap? That is what I'm missing right now, I'm currently linking to my old account.

Kainoa Jul 9, 2023

@CIAvash Post imports are already there!

Siavash Jul 9, 2023

@kainoa hmm, is it enabled on calckey.social server? 'cause I tried a few times and it didn't work.

brunospy Jul 9, 2023

@kainoa That's really big !
Now I have no more excuses to buy a new DN and launch a new instance this summer :)

kind of really excited

@kainoa HYPE!!! 🎉 😍 🥳

We can't wait, we are huge fans ❤️

Kainoa Jul 9, 2023

@pixelfed Us to y'all too!!

❤️

Darnell Clayton

@kainoa I can hardly wait! I am rooting for…um…what should I call it since #Calckey’s name is changing‽ 😂 Maybe #AppFormalyKnownAsCalkey or #AFKAC for short. 😃

Ozzy🕯Jul 17, 2023

@darnell @kainoa @damon I wonder if Kainoa would accept a bribe (donation) for secrets 😇

I think he should start a countdown clock anyway, would give me something to stare at

Darnell Clayton

@ozzy @kainoa @damon You could offer him a $1,000 & he would still not tell you! 😂🤣😂

Also all donations are non-refundable! 😁

Kainoa Jul 17, 2023

@darnell @ozzy @[email protected] I will spill the beans for $1001 🤭

@kainoa YOOOOOOOOOO
a lot of changes huh?! scary, but exciting!!! looking forward to the 19th

@kainoa would love an app!

@kainoa Congrats. Looking forward to seeing what's next for Calckey!

Jon Jul 9, 2023

@kainoa exciting! And good call on retarting the release numbering 🎉

@kainoa
cacley 2 remastered!!!!

Mitex Leo Jul 9, 2023

@kainoa I thought it's gonna be released today .. I was soooo excited 😃 ...

PikaDude Jul 9, 2023

@kainoa will the name Calckey remain?

Kainoa Jul 9, 2023

@pikadude Nope! Something entirely new!!

PikaDude Jul 9, 2023

@kainoa ooh, interesting. good luck with the launch! I'm excited to see what it will be

Mr. Completely Jul 15, 2023

@kainoa @pikadude this is a really good decision from an outreach standpoint. I know all about "internal throwaway project name becomes public facing confusion generator" thing and it's way better to go ahead and change it

Murm is gone.Jul 9, 2023

@kainoa I assume y'all are gonna make it easy to move from one repo to the other once the full release happens?

Kainoa Jul 12, 2023

@kainoa @murm the auto updater/installer will hopefully be kept?

Kainoa Jul 17, 2023

@octofloofy @murm ofc

Matias Jul 9, 2023

@kainoa I'm really hyped for this!

Thanks for the amazing work you are doing! Calckey is exactly want i want from a social media platform 😁

Gabbo the wafrn dev guy Jul 9, 2023

@[email protected] i need to implement the migrate account before that damn

@kainoa I hope we'll get a centralized instance AND moderation handled by some rich asshole with a very short character limit and also some system of bluemark.

If not, I'm gonna be REALLY disappointed

Deividas Paukštė Jul 9, 2023

@kainoa I've been loving calckey ever since I moved from Mastodon. Great work! I was wondering, are there any plans for an app, because kaiteki has not been working fully for me (replies beneath posts never show). Thank you!

Laurens Hof Jul 9, 2023

@kainoa hype!

migrating an entire server is really impressive, very interested in how thatll work!

@kainoa
> a fediverse first
SPC did that first actually

Kainoa Jul 9, 2023

@[email protected] oh they did? What domain did they migrate from?

vaartis of the ratular bells Jul 9, 2023

@kainoa they migrated from gnu social to pleroma at the same domain, I assumed this is what "automatically migrated" meant in the post above

vaartis of the ratular bells Jul 9, 2023

@kainoa I guess if it's a software name change then the domain changes to the new name and the instance sends out the account migration notification to all followers, since I have no idea how else it could be possible to change the actor id

LibertyBeta Jul 9, 2023

@kainoa If we had an app.... I would leave mastodon.

@kainoa They're good, but I've been spoiled by the official Mastodon app. Kiatek looks close.... But won't start.

@LibertyBeta @kainoa +1, none of the current apps (on Android) feel good to use imo

Marcos Jul 9, 2023

@kib48 @LibertyBeta @[email protected] Have you tried the PWA?

Henrick Jul 9, 2023

@m4rc0s__m4rt3s90s @kib48 @LibertyBeta @[email protected] PWA is so baddddddd. T.T

moved back to @[email protected]Jul 9, 2023

@m4rc0s__m4rt3s90s @LibertyBeta @kainoa I'm on the PWA right now, yeah, not to be rude but it kinda sucks

much better on desktop but it just doesn't feel like a good mobile app

Kainoa Jul 9, 2023

@kib48 @[email protected] @LibertyBeta I daily drive it alongside milktea and it's pretty good, at least on Android + Chromium. I wouldn't recommend Firefox.

@kainoa

@m4rc0s__m4rt3s90s
@LibertyBeta i think we need something like kimis for misskey for android, it looks amazing

@kainoa @m4rc0s__m4rt3s90s @LibertyBeta I'm on chrome, it just feels janky

@kainoa @kib48 @m4rc0s__m4rt3s90s @LibertyBeta

The only thing that kills my experience is that clackey resets the timeline soo often

I click a users profile, then return -> resettet
I scroll down, but it recognises a swipe left gesture, visiting the local timeline -> resettet

Otherwise, it's pretty good

💀andrzej💀Jul 9, 2023

@kainoa legit excited about this

blobcatwhatsthis

@kainoa what does this mean for existing instances? Will it just be an update or will i need a new instance?

Kainoa Jul 9, 2023

@octofloofy it'll be a new update.

@kainoa ok thanks for the answer, looking forward to the reveal!

Elena.Jul 9, 2023

@kainoa I am looking forward to it! :calcpicodance:

@kainoa a little odd to change branding when the brand recognition is just starting to hit its stride, but good luck

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] yep. Calckey started as a personal fork, I never thought it could be this popular lmao. So naming wasn't initially a massive consideration
