I am working on this. It’s based on GoToSocial and packages it into a nice to use GUI app for Mac and Windows. There are a few problems:
1. Domain names. It costs money. Can add integration to Google Domains, or allow free subdomains.
2. NAT. I believe the easiest method would be to have a reverse-tunnelling server run on donations.
3. Curbing abuse; the last thing we want is for admins to indiscriminately block the reverse-tunnel IP or the free subdomains due to it being “too easy” to set up new servers. I’m not sure exactly how to curb it, the idea is just to remove access when there are reports, but a way to prevent alt accounts would be to use an identity provider like Google, perhaps. Another thing is to decouple the subdomain/reverse-tunnel service with the app itself.
4. Keeping your computer on 24/7. Might not be too big of an issue since servers do retry sends, but might be an issue if too many people go non-24/7.
I’m open to suggestions.
I took the webpage down some time ago because I wasn’t working on it but it would be at https://getfedi.app https://getfedi.app. I’ll bring it back online soon.
