I'm working on a new nostr:npub120zh308gs69j3vwgvvrzgglv58vsk3q0vef43uajyu0lc3mtldsq2p33r2 API schema that will be used in metrofive and our mobile apps.

The MastoAPI that currently powers our webUI and mobile apps provides a solid and well-known interface, but we're already outgrowing it (we extended it, using the optional `_pe=1` param for pixelfed entities)

The new schema is much more efficient for our use case, and we'll continue to support the MastoAPI too (with atleast 1 year notice if we deprecate it)

Working on several nostr:npub120zh308gs69j3vwgvvrzgglv58vsk3q0vef43uajyu0lc3mtldsq2p33r2 webUI improvements!

✨ Inline modals (view posts/profiles without losing your feed position)

✨ New ComposeUI

✨ Web Push Notifications

✨ Multiple account switcher (easily toggle between logged-in accounts)

✨ Better low-bandwidth/offline support

Maybe it's a good thing that Apple expired my builds, it's been a while since I've worked on the webUI and it needs a lot more attention!

Apple don't make it easy for app developers, all of my nostr:npub120zh308gs69j3vwgvvrzgglv58vsk3q0vef43uajyu0lc3mtldsq2p33r2 builds have been expired and I can't publish a new one for the second time in two months!

Guess I'll be focusing on the webUI and metrofive for now.

nostr:npub12tyk735v52ju032qahe3k2r520jlsujaem6xr8n0ex6u7eqj0anq59vnqc I appreciate your superhero-level efforts on all the things. I think Pixelfed is the bees knees! But I am years deep in the waiting and it's killing me. Any idea when a regular, non-TestFlight app release will be?

nostr:npub1z3xw3avygyd7ygvj30kl566p6ux2kl3hu4yvln0wd0lchgph0fas82ec64 I'm going to publish the last TestFlight build this weekend, then I'll be submitting to the app stores next week!

omg new bassnectar :blobaww:

Preparing a new TestFlight build 👀

After some discussions, I will not be adding blocklist tracking to FediDB as I don't want it to be abused!

Hired a model for the merch shoot! #pixelfed

https://pixelfed.social hits 90K users (about 12% are MAU)

In addition to making blocklists available via API in nostr:npub120zh308gs69j3vwgvvrzgglv58vsk3q0vef43uajyu0lc3mtldsq2p33r2 later today, I'll be adding support to view instance blocklists in FediDB!

nostr:npub12tyk735v52ju032qahe3k2r520jlsujaem6xr8n0ex6u7eqj0anq59vnqc I think its still quite useful to see the threadiverse split out like that, is there any harm in keeping it?

nostr:npub1k08pe3kghynslu5gh9cqyguud2lyk5fl84wqm073tzxqnmk04ygskh6xvn Nope, maybe I'll make a permanent home for it somewhere else on the site!

It's been two months since I added the Threadiverse page to FediDB, considering removing it now (the current events section was meant to be temporary) 🤔
