So if this can be hosted as a github page, why not make the "quick start" section a link to just use the PWA?

Looks great! One recommendation, move the screenshots more to the top of the readme. It says "Stylus (style + status)" first sentence, and leaves the reader with a dangling "so what is the style?!" until way lower, after

They were never an innovator, they just did this thing nobody else did, that some years later became the norm?

Ah yes, if everybody is scared they'll be in trouble for any kind of misbehavior, everyone will behave. Good old stasi logic.

Blocking email or gmail is much closer to a nationwide internet blackout than blocking signal or tor. And even repressive regimes are on a budget there. I'm not sure your second point holds either - for most nations, an active connecti

I was not talking about federation, I was talking specifically about email. It's like the domain fronting feature that signal used to have, but using a service as a front that is business critical.

by Valodim 1y ago
The difference is the collateral. Are you really going to shut down a country's most popular local email service? Or gmail?
128.
by Valodim 1y ago
I'm not sure that's fair. It would be if it was otherwise just another messenger app, but Delta uses email as a transport, which gives it a special kind of resilience. It's harder to shut down email than signal.

Simple to self host and use, can recommend. Can't say I'm a fan of the €55M financing round they took though. I mean, congratulations to them, but the growth they'll need to satisfy those investors is so very likely to lead t

Is this really true? If I have a marketing website for a product, isn't it in my interest to have that marketing incorporated in AI models?

They give more for free, and your only thought is "sure would be nice if they gave even more for free"?

The correct way to do stuff like this these days with openpgp is to use a SOP (stateless openpgp) implementation. https://www.openpgp.org/about/sop/

Billy paid a fraud expert, whose whole business is apparently providing fraud opinions, but that seemed to have tipped the scales (mentioned in TFA). Very unfortunate outcome. Well, the silver lining for Jobst in all of this is that he did

https://github.com/sandstorm-io/sandstorm/commits/master/ Doesn't look like there is a lot of momentum left?

Absolutely this. This is a business of trust, which means you need certifications, marketing presence, squeaky clean legal documents, and brand recognition before you get anywhere with your customers. That doesn't mean it's imposs

Actually had to think about what phrase you meant here. For other readers' benefit, it is "Deutsche Sprache, schwere Sprache", which is indeed a known phrase (with the obvious direct translation)

That is an unreal standard to hold anyone to while using Microsoft or Google products, because this wouldn't even register compared to what these companies do on a regular basis. People are just less dependent on Mozilla so moral outag

It'll be gone the moment upstream drops it. Maintaining this in a fork will be a lot of work. Fortunately it's still available even in Chrome for a while, but that's just an ultimatum

It supports web extensions.

While these forks are nice and all, I'm not sure how meaningful it is in the bigger picture if 99% of the work done on it is still done (and paid) by the same people. Similarly, I don't get those "I use brave instead of Firef

I mean... the unified timeline is literally the number one feature this app advertises. If you find that doesn't work for you, their product vision just doesn't align with your preferences. What's the point of even engaging i

From the title, it took me a while from the description to understand what I'm looking at. The readme really needs some more info 1) targeted at end users of an app, possibly just a few screenshots will do, and 2) targeted at developer
