> Dave: "Bot, add a folder to my personal data store with the pictures I took this weekend and share it with everyone in my poker group"
> Sally: "I see that I've gotten an email from Dave with a magic link conveying access to something. Bot, use this link to negotiate a key exchange with whatever weird app Dave cobbled together (ask his bot if you need help) and then log into my VPS and add a tab to my personal webapp to display the content he has shared."
That might be overly optimistic, but it doesn't feel that far off. It's kind of what Tim Berners-Lee build https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_project for right?
There are also places like https://tilde.town/ if you want something more social media–esque
That hasn't changed, but what has changed is that reading docs and writing the glue code is effectively free. The main problem with something like Solid is, if it takes even an hour to figure out how to get it going, I am effectively assigning my friends an hour of homework to be able to network with me. That's no longer true. If you like the Fediverse and I like Solid and Dave uses Nostr and Sally is stuck with some proprietary thing that came with her NAS, we can all build a network without any of us switching to, or even learning much about, each other's platforms.
I would describe the website as “twitter for developers and uses your GitHub account for auth”. It’s a simple concept, but I think using your GitHub account to sign in is a great idea and a meaningful differentiator. Good luck!
No good developer would introduce such a security risk for novelty.
So not at all ready to be seen? Maybe we should all flag this so it can re-appear once someone spent at least a bit of time on making it proper and ready for public consumption?
If 'dev' is developer, 'null' makes me think it's for worthless developers, or for things that developers don't care about.
GitHub is the single most widely adopted, developer-specific OIDC identity provider.
If it’s facetious, then WSL BABYYYYYY
Edit: it's part of your profile already, better vibe code some random ideas to farm some GitHub dev credibility.
For example, I'm sure there's a scary-talented engineer working on fluid simulation algorithms for a major aerospace manufacturer, and they would be fired if their work-product ever left the corporate VPN. Meanwhile, their personal stuff is in a self-hosted solution.
>Let's all be willing docile salves
This is how you sound
What if Microsoft black listed me from GitHub forever? I'm also banned from Facebook for like decade
C:\> TYPE file.txt >NUL
C:\>What does it use? masto or hand-crafted stuff?
I'm not saying this isn't a good idea or that people don't want something like this but... There's nothing here?
If a, b and c are true, then this site is reinventing HN/proggit with forced GitHub login on top. NGMI.
I don't know if I want to sign in, because I can't see any of the content.
*Closes tab
sigh Yeah, that's really a bad look for them to claim no likes and then have something that is functionally identical.
Isn't that Twitter?
Discord is where more dev communities are moving to
I think the people who remain (on any big social) are missing out on IRL alternatives, if you get into it, you will find it is a much more rewarding way to spend your time.
