I wrote about this on my blog. I like the notion and points made here, but I also think we’re not helping by re-inventing things that already exist, so I’m torn on it. I have been happy with the existing one.

“new” == ~3 years old (but looking to move from alpha to beta in 2024 IIRC). It’s a good server!

I think forcing all posts to be opted-in to the search, and depending on users to opt-out, would be far more controversial? Either way, the user does get to control this within the platform.

There’s also a really nice deep dive into the updates here.

I wrote a blog post about using Postmarks and contributing to the project https://andypiper.co.uk/2023/09/11/bookmarks-in-the-fediverse/

At the moment it is explicitly designed as a single-user implementation, although I’m sure it could be pivoted to become multiuser. I’ve simply set up my own on Glitch and it is working great! -> https://pipesmarks.glitch.me/

For what platform?

understandable! No problem, just thought it could be useful, but realise you should make those choices carefully.

You can use the Graze browser extension that will help with this.

Currently playing Boltgun, because I’m an ageing W40K fan from the 1980s :-)

As of recently, I am officially helping Mastodon with developer relations and documentation! I also do some promotion / writing and speaking, and other work with the MicroPython project - and the Awesome MicroPython list. Beyond that, I offer a bunch of drive-by pull requests to smaller projects that I use, when I can!

I’m a supporting member of the EFF, PSF, and OSI (I ran the OSI booth at State of Open this year), and I am an ambassador for OpenUK

Thank you for OctoPrint! I love it!

also no issues - so far.
