I am slowly coming back. I know #Fedilab has issues and still needs improvements, but this is endless work.
That's why it is important for me to step back from issues and focus on a big new feature.
I think working on the #Pixelfed API will give me that satisfaction.

I am working on the integration of the dedicated Pixelfed API.
I started with DMs and groups. I am reworking the old chat conversation view, which is well suited for it. This work will benefit everyone.
My goal is to cover all Pixelfed endpoints.
#Fedilab will support 4 dedicated APIs: #Mastodon, #PeerTube, #Misskey and #Pixelfed.

#Mobilizon is now maintained and developed by the Kaihuri team. #Framasoft passed the project to this new team after completing its mission, and still runs the mobilizon.fr instance.
Like Framasoft, #Kaihuri is a French non-profit and a member of the CHATONS collective. The goal stays the same: a free tool to organize events and groups without big platforms.

#Pixelfed has officially released API documentation for devs, and this is really good news!

https://developers.pixelfed.org/api

Many #Fedilab users also have a Pixelfed account. The work of the Pixelfed team on this documentation is greatly appreciated, and I was waiting for it.

Updating Fedilab with it will be a priority, as the app has always supported Pixelfed with its own layout.

When you come to a new open source project for the first time to report an issue, a "thank you for your work" or any kind words are very welcome.

We give our free time to contribute. We have no salary and we represent no company. We are humans who want to offer the best for everyone.

Yes, issues are mostly opened when something is wrong, but before writing one, remember the dev will read it and try to help you. We are not a company selling your data, and you did not pay for a service.

I took a break to have some distance. Coding was not a pleasure anymore, it was a duty. I had more and more the feeling that people were expecting things from me. Open source is not like I knew it. I feel we are each in our own corner. I have far fewer interactions with other devs than before. I see messages that are not honest for me. I stay silent, but it hurts me to not say the truth. (1/2)

I'm slowly getting back to #HolosSocial and #CastLab.
I've seen people say Holos is now closed source. That's not the case. It's still on the official #FDroid, built from source. My custom repo just runs alongside it for faster updates and betas.
I've never released an app or server version without publishing the source code first, and I never will. Open source isn't a label. It's code you can read before you install an app or use a service.
