MNT Pocket Reform is now shipping (crowdfunded open hardware mini-laptop)

The MNT Pocket Reform is a tiny, Linux-compatible laptop computer with a 7 inch display, a mechanical ortholinear keyboard, and a modular design.

I am working on a replacement for #fedifinder: Cross platform follow management.

I want to make it easy to reconnect with people you like but also to disconnect from the ones you don't like. Show you if someone joined a platform you are using as well and help you remove them from your followings if you are no longer interested in their content or want to block them. Without searching for them individually on each platform.

Main challenges:
- Tech: Many platforms don't have APIs anymore
- Legal: Platforms try to prohibit scraping
- Legal: What legal basis do I have for data collection and processing
- Ethic: How to not show accounts who do not want to be shown (I want to only use public information. Eg. links in bios or on websites. Is following no-index tags and nobot in bios enough?)
- Money: Putting some features behind a paywall or find a different model

Before I invest time into coding, I would love to hear your opinions. (I have a small budget for consultations. If you have more to say, feel free to sent me a mail hello@lucahammer.com with your fee. Especially if you are part of a marginalized group and/or could be hurt by a service that makes it easy to discover accounts across multiple platforms.)

This server has so far been supported with (dirty dirty money) by only two people, and next week the server fees are going up from €6.00 per month to $19.00 per month. It would be great to get that covered collectively. If you can afford a cup of coffee a month's worth of donations, this server it would be very much appreciate it!

Donations on https://en.liberapay.com/autonomous.zone preferred, DM if there are other ways you would rather send monies.
