I wrote my first blog post on my dev site to explain my recent work on Holos. It lets me better explain my choices, where I am, what I did, and what I plan to do next.
If you want to know more about Holos for Desktop, it's here: https://tom79.dev/posts/holos-desktop/
I might write others from time to time for other projects such as Fedilab.

Holos is coming to desktop

Holos, the mobile Fediverse client with a local ActivityPub server, is now available on desktop via Electron. Same codebase, same privacy, bigger screen.

We publish events on our website that are about the Open Social Web, from anywhere on the planet. Not just FediForum events.

To make it easier for you to keep track of them, we now also publish them as iCalendar feed that you can subscribe to in your calendar app.

Check it out at https://fediforum.org/events

And let us know if there are issues, because it's all new and the behaviors for various calendars and browsers on various operating systems are apparently all different.

#Holos 1.6.0 is available!

This release introduces desktop support with Electron on macOS and Linux. Syncs now use a sequenced bloom filter with WebSocket filtering that will avoid timeouts when starting the app.
The media viewer should be smoother, with instant thumbnails and a transition from the thumbnail position.

#GoToSocial pull request here to add a "last used" sort option when you're looking at access tokens in the settings panel:

https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/pulls/4833

So now you can see which tokens you've used most recently, and more easily clear our tokens you haven't used in a long time (because you lost them or whatever).

It also lets you add a name for each token so you can remind yourself what browser is using it or whatever.

[feature] Allow sorting access tokens by last_used, allow setting name per access token

I did it. #Smithereen 1.0 is officially out now. Only took me 6.5 years from an idea to something I can proudly call a stable release.

If you are working on Fediverse software, you might have heard about FEP-8a8e, which is an upcoming standard to unitize how events (as in gatherings of people) are shared via ActivityPub.

I'm currently working on a cool new validation tool that is supposed to help developers write correct implementations of this standard:

My Hollo instance has been updated to 0.9.1 if you wanna take a peek. It's shaking off the early UI look and feel for something more professional.

A lot of extra configurations that I didn't have time to review or enable, but some of it looks interesting, like more efficient handling of remote media.

ActivityPub for WordPress 2d ago

ATmosphere 1.0.0 — Liftoff

This post isn't about the ActivityPub plugin. ATmosphere is a separate plugin from the same small team, for the other half of the open social web: the AT Protocol, the open network behind Bluesky. We're posting about it here because the audience overlaps and the mission is the same. If there's enough interest, we'll spin up a dedicated blog for it. Until then, this is the closest venue. Today is the public 1.0.0 release on WordPress.org. After months of design notes, internal experiments, […]

@dtgeek I just verified in 2013 I paid $78 for a Lifetime Subscription and I remember back then thinking that’s a bit extreme. $750?! Absolutely not.
