Now imagine instead that the link you share takes them to a beautiful yet simple landing page that carefully guides them to the ideal platform, geographically closest, and helps them through the onboarding process, recommends the best desktop/mobile client and then follows you from their new account.
Stop dreaming. I'm building this. Wanna help?
@dansup You’re building way too many things at once… Loops only just hit the public, and then you were supposedly working on Sup, and now you’re doing something else? Like the passion is awesome but this feels like an infrastructural level of feature creep. Every project you (and anyone) have always has points of improvements, especially with only one primary developer, and you’re just chasing the next shiny thing. This isn’t focus or growth, this is a lack of clear goals.

@dansup Are you

@dansup I have a similar micro-project running on https://fediverse.ooo for quick linking to objects while being software agnostic, maybe that can be incorporated somehow?
The way I’m running it is to allow for future direct replacement of https://fediverse.ooo/example -> fediverse://example

@moshimotsu But it's fun! And in open source, you're never alone. Worried about Daniel's time and energy? You can always lend a hand! @dansup

@rolle @dansup While true, allowing yourself to neglect projects that you’ve built in the past and are still not complete (because FOSS projects never are…) AFTER they’ve had time to become a part of users’ social infrastructure is a massive exercise in shirked responsibility. And lending a hand becomes less tenable when the maintainer who will ACCEPT those lended hands is spreading himself thin across multiple projects; one man can only approve so many PRs.

@rolle @dansup Frankly, I have no issue with Dansup starting a lot of projects, especially when they’re thematically interrelated. I have an issue with him starting them alone. There’s been no word about organized teams and collective maintainers being deployed to any of his numerous projects, such that he could take on the role of “vision lead” while well-capable programmers support the groundwork he’s laid. Delegation needs to happen when you scale this fast.

@dansup I suggest https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/3b86/fep-3b86.md as the way forward here.

@dansup
That's a cool option. But when someone sends me a link to a thing, I just want to see the thing. I don't want to have to jump through hoops. So I'd recommend a skip button. Or show the thing first, then offer the option to start the follow process. -

@moshimotsu Well, he is literally asking "Wanna help?"... @dansup

it seems rather rude to me to decide to tell someone what their priorities should be. it is true he's one person and there's a lot to do. so he needs help, he doesn't need a self-appointed boss. do you pay him? no. so he does whatever he wants. that's the way it should be

@dansup also it is a confusing name considering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Intents
