    @dansup I like what you are doing though it doesn't benefit me as a WordPress user that I can tell.

    Another use case would be having a link to an onboarding tool on profile pages, which could be tailorable for instances.

    It could see someone not logged in, and given them the option of creating an account on the instance, or another instance.

    This might even help with distributing new users to other instances.

    It's a thought.

    @knowprose@mastodon.social I'm pretty sure this is what @dansup@mastodon.social was trying to make with this but maybe I'm wrong.

      @sam @dansup yeah, I am late to this conversation, so forgive me if I seem to echo an elder sentiment of someone else.

      I came to it honestly by looking at the problem.

      And thus it is also an attempt to understand the problem we better need to solve. 🙃

        Imagine sharing a link to your fediverse account to someone not on the fediverse, hoping they follow you.

        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 Hello, I didn't quite understand the use case but on the web site I see accessibility and universal. I didn't see anything about language. Something monolingual is neither accessible nor universal =/ Maybe it's coming soon™

              @dansup please implement autotranslation. Language barrier is huge for mass adoption

                    @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 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

                            @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.

                                    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.

                                      @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.

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

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

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