Whats the source of that image? It looks like a suspicious result, for example the white shirt is lost in the "upscaled" image. Was is trained on a specific set of images to prove this point?

Good read! Aligns a lot with everything happening with the IndieWeb community[1] (including social readers[2]) and what I'm working on with Haven[3]. The additional piece (I know, more parts make everything harder for everyone) is us

Good on you for offering another passkey solution! I really want more non-Google/Apple options. I'll check it out.

My pet peeve is when the app moves focus after rendering useful content. On Outlook 365, I'll start typing an email, and then as page load finishes(?) it moves my cursor off the email field and my keystrokes get interpreted as keyboard

Thats exactly what my vision is for comments on Haven[1]. Without webmentions, you're just telling your friends/followers what you think which enables private comments/conversations on public content. [1]: https://h

Signal to noise in the context of discovery of public content is just hard. If you remove discovery, or limit it to curated content you can get around it. Haven[1] (my project) skips discovery and makes every source for your feed opt-in,

I've been really excited about the potential use of HE for private messaging. Today the most anyone does is end-to-end encryption, which does a great job protecting what you're saying, but it fails to protect who you are talking

IndieAuth[1] is a slick DNS-based approach. Maybe offering that as a service would be a nice alternative. I point my DNS to you, and you handle authentication for everything that uses IndieAuth. If you go away or I don't like what y

I need a better word that Blog for Haven (feel free to make suggestions!) because 'Blog' comes with all the connotations of public posting--but everything on Haven is private. So it's worse than creating an account, you need

Is it possible for a bookmarklet to be able to find RSS autodiscovery[1] links? I've thought about building something like that but I've always been turned off by the "allow reading everything" permission. [1]: https:&#

Opt-in is key, thats how I made spam a non-issue on Haven[1]. And really it isnt anything super creative, anyone using an RSS reader for primary consumption gets the same benefits. [1] https://havenweb.org

The only thing special about Haven is that access is restricted for the content you publish. Anything that publishes and consumes RSS (so long as it supports HTTP Basic Auth) will play nicely with Haven. I have to add that caveat because s

Yup! RSS is RSS! If you want to follow a Haven feed, you just need to make sure your newsreader can handle HTTP Basic Auth credentials. A Haven feed URL embeds the credentials right in the URL to make it easier. And Haven's feed read

+1 for RSS, I leaned on RSS as my protocol-of-choice for Haven[1], and even added a built-in RSS feed-reader. It provides a single chronologically-ordered stream of content from all your feeds which I've found makes it much more pleas

It's definitely a risk. I remember talking with peers in undergrad about the campus bubble we lived in compared to the surrounding community (which was not as affluent). Ultimately I think people need safe spaces to explore ideas. I

I'll chime in here, since I'm building one. Twitter does one thing that I opted to change--everything is public. The short-form, low-effort, public posting that defines twitter leads to a platform that promotes trolling over dis

I bet they used Domain Connect[1]! That's the mainstream cross-service domain management protocol, but they require each service explicitly register with each domain registrar. I also don't think any of the companies involved ar

You're 100% on this. That seems to be the whole point of DIDs, but under today's internet I think BYOD and domain ownership is a better solution. That said, none of the registrars seem to be working towards end-user domain owners
