Loops Roadmap Updated.

We're doing pretty well as a beta platform released last fall with full federation support, mobile apps, and a dozen distinct features (like AR Filters, For You feed, Starter Kits, Audio Fingerprinting, ActivityIntents, Playlists, Duets, Curated Onboarding, Spam mitigation and more)

Our vision for Loops is ambitious and community-driven. Here's what we're working on and what's coming next.

Flare App 1d ago

A new Flare update has arrived, we’ve added new timeline display modes to Flare.

Card mode remains the default, while Plain mode lets you make fuller use of your screen width for a denser, more streamlined reading experience. Gallery mode is designed for image browsing, making it much more comfortable to explore media-heavy timelines.

We’ve also improved the RSS experience with a cleaner, clearer article interface, so reading feeds feels more focused and easier on the eyes.

Nobody tells you how hard it is to rewire your brain so you can allow amazing things to happen to you after so much trauma or hurt. Blessings exist, good people exist, and a safer life exists. Let it happen.

I'm super proud of our rollout of Starter Kits in Loops, and can't wait to bring this to Pixelfed later this year!

Landing page: https://joinloops.org/starter-kits

Best of all, I've been working closely with the @Mastodon team on interoperability so you can use Kits or Collections across Loops and Mastodon ✨

Now this is proof of how powerful the social web can be when you put consent and safety first ❤️

📨 At 1080 hours, #Iran's internet shutdown continues to harm lives and livelihoods as the country enters its 46th day without international access. Despite a slight widening of the whitelist system, Iranians have to take risks just to get a message through to the outside world.
