The one luring problem with these distributed social network sites are the transparency with the target audience and its creators, most of your most potential audience is not going to care much of how the backend is constructed, rather your users will focus on the design of the app and what they can see, the field of distributed networks is an interesting one and wrangling with apis and libraries is where I feel web programming will be heading for a long time, good luck in your distributed/startup endeavors!
- imaginator 14y agoAgreed: we have to focus on two levels - users and devs: This post has a more dev focus but we know that the look and feel and functionality for users is really important. To see what we are working on check out our prototypes that are now being incorporated: https://demo.buddycloud.org/prototypes/ https://demo.buddycloud.org/prototypes/ and Felix's paperfold effect: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/demos/detail/paperfold-css https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/demos/detail/paperfold-c...
- ojr 14y agoI've seen the paperfold effect a while ago, very nice , count me in as an early adopter, the non-distributed model works though and I dont understand why it is so frown upon among the hackernews circles. I for one care more about the frontend than the backend, in which both for buddycloud is nice, the team is talented o@buddycloud.org ;)
