If you're wondering why I stopped working in MastoDev, and why my posts about how development already includes marginalized voices are no longer applicable, then read that essay because it gets into all of it super fucking well

@shel For what it's worth, if you know PHP, your contributions would be more than welcome in postActiv - I need all the help I can get.
@maiyannah I don't know PHP :( My experience is with jekyll, jQuery, bootstrap, UX, and copy-writing. If you need help designing a menu or or feature layout or something lmk and I can take a crack at it. But I'm not very useful for back-end type stuff.
@shel We'll be needing some experienced hands with JS and HTML once we finalize this release, I'm going to be removing the hard-coded HTML and stuff from postActiv and making a smarty-templated replacement theme that isn't something you have to rewrite half the software to change.
@maiyannah Oh! That's actually something I may be able to help out with. Keep me in the loop
