Hallooo - this is my project. Glad to offer any help. Thanks for looking in. Also having a connection issue with both Twitch and TikTok unfortunately right now

Hallooo - this is my project. Glad to offer any help. Thanks for looking in. Also having a connection issue with both Twitch and TikTok unfortunately right now. Will update here when I have it solved. UPDATE: The TikTok and Twitch issue is resolved. No need to update the extension - picks up the change automatically.

Hey Kicks. Love Fraidycat! The UI could desperately use a search bar across the names of all feeds/sources a user is following. EDIT: I don't know JS very well yet but I could try to add it myself. I'll take a look at the Fraidycat source.

  Very much agree, Maxwell. Worked on this fork of elasticlunr.js for that purpose: https://github.com/kickscondor/elasticlunr.js https://github.com/kickscondor/elasticlunr.js

    Thanks. :-) I'm happy to hear it and so are my carpal tunnel hands.

Looks great. Just installed it. Already provides lots of value. Question, your github grid seems low energy recently. Working on anything cool in secret?

  Yep - working on a project called Multiverse, about to come out. Thanks for asking. :relaxed: If you want a peek, our day-to-day diary is here: https://futureland.tv/glitchyowl/multiverse-diary https://futureland.tv/glitchyowl/multiverse-diary

    Thank you for bringing back the magic of geocities + myspace to the zoomers. That's a complement.

      If you're looking for a MySpace experience, you should check out spacehey.com! I think I originally heard about it on HN!

Heyo Kicks! Long time user, love it. One feature would be nice, a possibility to change background colors and such. My eyes cant seem to adapt to the deep blue behind white and i get a headache from it sometimes Wrong place to put in a ticket i know, but love the project!

    Thanks for the reply! I'll send you a message once I come up with something palatable (no pun intended)

Thanks for making Fraidycat and helping take the web back to the good old RSS days! I especially like the Dire Straits Money for Nothing video-like logo. I have a question: Is it possible to make the Fraidycat endpoint on your own server instead of having the browser extension take you to https://fraidyc.at/s/ https://fraidyc.at/s/? Or am I totally confused?
- kickscondor 6y ago
  It's not possible at the moment. I used to serve the pages directly from the extension - however, this causes the feed fetcher and the web page to run in the same thread - so the UI gets sluggish. I moved the web page into a 'content script' - meaning injecting it into a normal web page - and that solved the problem. Fraidycat 2 will allow 'localhost' access. (Later this year.)

    Understood, and thank you!

      Oh Simon Griffee - ofc. Love your stuff. Everyone check out https://www.simongriffee.com/ https://www.simongriffee.com/ - my fave is the photo section. Your blog is great as well.

I wonder if there's a way to import subscriber list (like the way NewPipe did with youtube account data request) ?

Thank you for this. I was looking for exactly something like this. People post there stuff on all kind of media including blog, twitter, projects, github etc. It's hard to follow someone's work by going through each platform of their choice. This solves it. Thank you :)

Hi Kickscondor, I've seen you on HN before. Love your aesthetic! I urge everyone to check out Kickscondor's website for some 90's era web design nostalgia https://www.kickscondor.com/ https://www.kickscondor.com/
