👨🏻‍💻 Moroni I'm waiting for the public beta! How is the dev beta? Is it stable?
👽 Paul Webb I haven't had any issues with it
🏒 Lucian Marin They toned down liquid glass effect in iOS 26 beta 3. Apple should remove it entirely.
👽 Paul Webb I disagree, check out this guy's work dribbble.com/shots... What Apple needs is better design leadership
🏒 Lucian Marin Well, you can try nostter.app and freefrom.space clients.
👽 Paul Webb Freeform looks nice, I've bookmarked both for if/when crypto stops feeling yuck to me.
🏒 Lucian Marin I want to build resumes on top of Subreply profiles. You can add any kind of experiences (jobs, projects, gigs, education, courses) on your profile.
👽 Paul Webb I joined Peerlist several months ago because it seemed like a cooler LinkedIn but it's really more like ProductHunt LinkedIn. Not really a fan of it so I stopped using it. I just made a plaintext CV to accompany my LinkedIn: cv.webb.page
🏒 Lucian Marin Nostr is full of hackers. Everyone I follow on Mastodon double posts to Bluesky or Threads.
👽 Paul Webb I tested Nostr briefly but none of the third-party apps have the polish I want so I fell off. I follow one guy that actually posts to Bluesky via a Mastodon bridge.
👽 Paul Webb The U.S. is in such a sorry state that other countries are moving to open-source to avoid running government infrastructure on American-made software techradar.com/pro/... While this makes sense, it's also quite telling.
🙌 Nat Voisey Mastodon is great for communities that have a niche. Have you tried Ivory by Tapbots?
👽 Paul Webb THE only reason I'm such a heavy Mastodon user. Third-party apps are a must for any network.
🏒 Lucian Marin Mastodon is dead. Most people have migrated to Bluesky or Threads.
👽 Paul Webb HARD disagree. Mastodon is fantastic for me. Bluesky is quiet af and Threads is just wanna be viral content. I guess it just boils down to who you follow. To me, small web folks, hackers, and those who spend time making lil' projects for internet lovers spend most of their time on Mastodon.
👽 Paul Webb Blog post I published today about building a video platform blog.webb.page/202...
👋 Saif Ali oh hi, first time posting here 👋 excited to be part of the community <3
👽 Paul Webb Has anyone used Dia browser? Since I use Arc I was able to get an early invite. It's a pretty browser! I do not give a damn about any of its AI tools though.
👽 Paul Webb Hey, so my video platform works. nickel.video/e219n...
👽 Paul Webb Because I don't like Google but I want to upload video, I decided to make my own video platform. Turns out, you need to implement chunked uploads for modern file sizes or your server will run out of memory! I think I have it implemented correctly, can't wait to test in the AM.
🏒 Lucian Marin Liquid Glass design is DOA. Long live flat design.
👽 Paul Webb I quite like it the concept ands immediately installed the developer beta on my phone. It clearly wasn't considered in many places but I expect that from a beta.
🏒 Lucian Marin Do you upgrade every year?
👽 Paul Webb Yup. I keep telling myself I won't but the incentive is always the camera.
👽 Paul Webb Switch 2 is fantastic, loads of fun. Refreshed GameCube Controller is a blast. The camera is neat.
