sup is like Facebook Messenger, but for the fediverse.

Connect all of your fediverse accounts on one app, and connect with people on other platforms or protocols, like IRC.

It's also going to be fully open source, and modular with a simple plugin system to add support for other fediverse platforms and more.

A universal, open, federated messenger.

@dansup @[email protected] Nice so sup will work with my Sharkey servers?
@sam @dansup @[email protected]

If its anything like
it might not support the Misskey API (for sharkey) but may support a mastodon login.

(Mastodon API not currently functional on Sharkey though)
@dalekcoffee @dansup @[email protected] The Mastodon API sort of works for some programs on Sharkey, but it would be good to have support for things like Misskey and it's forks as they are very popular software.
@sam @dansup @[email protected] For sure agree!

I wish more things had native misskey API support!
@dansup if this exists, I would like to try and test this for accessibility. I have mastodon for now, is this what you had in mind, assuming of corse you are the developer. Hehaha. happy wednesday in either case.
@dansup @pixelfed if this is sup, then what is dan?
Ahhhhh whatsupdoc
@a1ba
@dansup @PixelFed @tinker
Why wait to make it open source?
@dansup @PixelFed Is that a teaser? I guess there so nothing to check out yet?
@glukozavr @dansup @pixelfed first mentioned in 2023. I think it is another teaser. Nothing to check out yet.
@dansup https://pixelfed.social/pixelfed So this is a beeper alternative?

@dansup 😂 the name is such a good play on words

@dansup
Dan, when is the release planned?

@pixelfed

@dansup @PixelFed I can't wait, this will be amazing! Are there still plans for encrypted messages? If you're looking for a solution, please consider integrating #xmpp or the ability to connect to an external account maybe?

@dansup @PixelFed @tinker So you're saying it's not "Yo"? 😂 Because the logo and name reminds me of "Yo".

"Yo" was hilarious for me for a couple of days. 😉

But, seriously, this sounds pretty cool.

@elight @dansup @pixelfed @tinker

Yo should be the encryption layer.

That way, if you use both...

@dansup @PixelFed elder here….so sup would be like fb messenger while not being owned by a corporation or intrusive , censorship and advertising as well as being in the fediverse. You could say , link a Bluesky account with your mastodon?
Standards

xkcd
@remidu @dansup feels like you need to use one of the 14 standards and make it compliant with the other 13
@dansup @PixelFed These projects are look pretty cool and I know I can use a web UI for some of them, but are you considering putting the apps into FDroid, I haven't seen them there. Cheers
@z3r0fox @dansup @PixelFed - there are 3rd party Pixelfed clients on F-droid though, e.g. PixelDroid and Pixelix
@dansup @PixelFed - Matrix and XMPP support in this would be great to see as well.
@dansup @PixelFed how does it compare to Matrix? The description is almost identical. Bridging them will probably be easy.
@dansup @pixelfed Having difficulty grokking this. Is sup supposed to be a multi-protocol chat program? Basically @pidgin but a web-app? 
@dansup @PixelFed assume this isn’t out yet. How can I find out more information?

@dansup @PixelFed

I no longer want anything universal.

Never understood the attractiveness of having a whole bunch of "fediverse accounts." Seems like a bug not a feature.

Plus, I don't install apps anymore if I can help it.

Finally, whenever I see the word "fedi" I pronounce it as "Fido" (as in FidoNet 2.0).

Good luck. 🤷‍♂️

@dansup @PixelFed cool! Keep up the good work. Don’t foget to enjoy life.

If there any work being done to bridge all the chat apps? Like something where I can send a Signal message to whatsapp, or wire to delta, etc?

This is not my domain of expertise. Mostly because the user acceptance to use the apps is low if the rest of your friends are not using the same app.

Thank you for creating this amazing app - pixelfed. It feels like a breath of fresh air! 😊😃 .. also, quick Q, when is loop releasing on Playstore?
@dansup @pixelfed "going to be open source" so it's not already? how does that?
