working on a Mastodon flyer generator with @maloki to help spread the word on other sites:

https://codepen.io/benjbrandall/pen/yKPvbV

The idea is that we could have a variety of designs and sample texts that appeal to different people, e.g. "Love Linux? Join linuxrocks.online"

we hope to crowdsource development, so would love help with:

* source images for the flyers
* suggested text snippets
* improving the functionality (maybe a dropdown to switch between source images?)

let us know if you can help :)

@aral I'm assuming that the 'catch' is the telemetry stuff they build into the majority of their products now. You can turn it off in VSC but how many people know that and will do so?
The world has become a battleground for 'your attention/data' and the distribution of such software is the tooling required to collect that info.
At least it is open source so that crap can get ripped out. 🙂

@aral Hmm.. I may have to give it a look at some point, just that I'm stil irked by using anything produced by Microsoft, open source or not. Perhaps VSC could change my mind on that..

@woozle Aye, unless you do something on a regular basis chances are you won't remember, that's why notes & references are important. Such is developer life, more time figuring out how to do something rather than actually doing it. 🙂
