It's a bit weird to only be on discord don't you think?
do they just post their code in a chat or something?
Ah, right, you might expect a repo link indeed
As I said, we are not that far around yet.
You still can publish a repo of an unfinished project.
Only on discord for now. You are welcome to set up a bridge between discord and another platform.
Yep, ready.
How different it will be from friendica?
Honestly, had no clue what friendica is.
another fedjverse faceboom alternative. maybe check it out might give you slme ideas, idk
Had a look, seems like facebook--ish UI but 10 years ago. Correct?

No, that's not correct at all! 🤦🤦🤦
Friendica is the most beautiful and powerful social media software in the Fediverse: it can make you write long, formatted posts with in-line images, with title or without title, it can publish scheduled posts, it can make you follow websites with RSS feeds , Diaspora and GNU Social profiles, it has a connector for Bluesky and TumbIr, it can manage circles like Google+, it can manage public ActivityPub groups (basically like Lemmy communities) but also private ones, it manages activitypub events like those of Mobilizon and Gancio.
The development is continuous and always cutting edge and the developers are pretty smart!
Unfortunately it has two problems that compromise its success:
- the lack of an iOS app
- a painful web 1.1 interface reminiscent of the original Facebook, but unfortunately the development staff no longer has any professional graphics. In reality it would be enough to adapt the soapbox interface (not everyone knows that it is possible to manage a friendica account through the soapbox interface!), but this is a bit of a sore point...
If you want to undertake the development of new Fediverse software, I recommend you take a look at Friendica and, if possible, also Misskey, Bonfire and Kbin; however in the Fediverse it is also important to try to reinvent the wheel, because the diversity of ideas is the true richness of the Fediverse

I will take a bigger look at it now.

Very good. I'm glad I was able to spark your curiosity! 😅 Sometimes, good ideas can hide even behind the worst interfaces and the most obsolete technologies... 😁
I have never used it, I am.not a facebook kinda person but it might help you with inspiration

Roadmap is being worked on, mock ups being drawn up tommorow, feature set still ebing discussed and finalised but likely to include: Nested comments Various emojii responses to comments and posts Groups Posting to own profile Sharing Karma type system?
