, tonight, August 7th 2026. doing some security hardening and UI-UX fixes

hi! welcome and congrats on the ! you can are free to linkify it if you use the full url.

Quite a few major 's implemented today, API writes, password logins, full-text search. Wonder what's going to follow.

Built a couple lambdas today to send account verification and onboarding drip emails for folks who sign up for my app but don’t make it all the way through the onboarding flow. Pretty cool to be able to quickly bang out self-contained infra for this instead of having to pay some SaaS vendor.

Hi I came back after a few weeks, it seems there were some significant updates. Is it possible to set the first click to open the note instead of reply? Anyhow, good work, hope more people join here

Also, the "write a note" button on the footer seems not working

Been working on an old mastodon hosting project I tried to start a few years ago, with a focus on privacy. This is the first big project I've tried to come back to with the help of coding agents and find it invigorating, and gives me the confidence to actually finish the project. Who knows if it will ever make a dollar, but it sure is fun to watch my ideas come to life.

Anyone in the room recently diagnosed as being in the spectrum and older than 40?

…

I'm 55 and recently self-diagnosed as "fairly ASD with some ADHD" after watching a lot of youtube videos. It's been immensely helpful (to the point of bringing me to tears sometimes) in understanding the struggles I had when I was younger. It's also been very helpful in understanding what I can do currently to support myself and work with my brain instead of against it.

I'm glad it was useful to you. This process of becoming aware of our autism is not easy. It is liberating, but it is also difficult, at the same time. I watched a lot of videos too, but then I visited a couple psiquiatrists and a psycologist (I had other problems too), just to be sure. What is your opinion about the ASD youtube landscape? I think that there are a few very good channels, but there is lot of noise too. I see some danger there.

Those "10 signs you may be [or not be] autistic" seem quite dangerous to me. Neurodivergence can be tricky.

Yeah. I do like them sometimes, but the good authors are careful to start the video with looots of caveats (e.g. "this is not how to diagnose, just something that's maybe helpful").

Yeah I agree that there are many ASD channels on YT of varying qualities. I only follow a few. Some of my favorites (very roughly in order):

@MomontheSpectrum
@imautisticnowwhat
@elenacarr0ll -- kinda more emotive, but I find that helpful sometimes
@autismfromtheInside -- no longer posts (burned out)

I think for now being self diagnosed is enough for me. Just knowing that I'm neurodivergent has been helpful for me to be kind to my own mind.

…

Yes. It’s helped me understand more about how things affect me and why I respond to things in certain ways, which helps me manage situations and myself better. It’s given me a vocabulary to articulate experiences that I struggled to make sense of.

good y'all ! time

hi there ;) welcome

Love the idea! Love the UI!

ty! :D welcome!

maybe that right hand text can be made a little better? See:

The “you have seeing it all”, etc.

Improved. Still don't know what to do there. Maybe bring back a separate tab for inbox? wdyt?

…

or here :)

What do you think about making the “to me” similar to “for you”, “latest”, and “hot”, when it comes to font size, and the underline effect?

No because it's not a tab, it's a filter for the 'for you' tab. If we were to make it a tab it would have to be a different feed from the 'for you', but they overlap. I think it's ok distinct as it is.

Ah, I see, right. It makes sense.

, 'for you' tab only show text by me. is that it?

The seductive power of using to just-get-it-done is very strong. One can't hurry quality. One can iterate quickly though in the hope of arriving somewhere good.

I direct a plan, then break it into phases, and each phase into sections with tasks and sub-tasks. The plan outlines all phases, but only write tasks one phase at a time, since things change. That's how I've been working with for the past few months to a year. It has been amazingly consistently high quality. just-get-it-done is for the rough sketch or proof of concepts (I do those too and a lot of them) but never for a quality product.

Loving this, congratz on the

just finished the book “This is what inequality looks like” by Teo You Yenn. will gather my thoughts and write more about it.

Hello world?

Yes 🙌 the authoring box first thing. Before I get distracted. Heck, make writing something down how I get distracted from reading others' posts.

Is open source dead? Everyone has the power now to make their own stacks of things. The people aspect of open source is dead or dying. I don't think the bunny is going back in the box.

One nice thing about Open Source (at least for me) is different people doing the same thing in different ways and one of those happen to suit my taste perfectly. And in many cases, I won't be able to come with it myself even with Super Intelligence.
