So what *web-based* Pinboard alternatives are y’all using?

(I’m familiar with Raindrop, but I’d prefer something that runs in any browser on any web-enabled device, without requiring other apps or browser extensions. I miss the simplicity of bookmarklets.)

I understand why so many people are focusing on how weird (in a bad way) some politicians are, but I really don’t like how it’s now turned into an implication of “weird = bad”.

I love lots of weird stuff. Maybe I’m sensitive to it because I was teased for being “weird” in school – when bands like DEVO, who fully leaned into weirdness, were my role models – but people who use “weird” as an insult have historically been the kind of people I don’t want to associate with.

@dansup @pixelfed I remember many years ago when Instagram still had a photo map feature, it was a great way to find cool stuff nearby (people told me they looked at my photo map all the time to find good pizza).

I appreciate your openness to feedback, thanks for doing so much to make the Fediverse even better.

@dansup @pixelfed I am so happy to hear all of this and will anxiously await the new updates! I’m already in the TestFlight program for the iOS app but if you want anyone to do even earlier testing for these things please let me know.

@dansup @pixelfed Oh my goodness this is such good news. Thank you so much!

Does this mean you’ll also use a different method/dataset for what place names are shown at the top of each post? And/or maybe the place name will be editable for each post, separate from the geo coordinates?

@dansup @pixelfed Heck yes!🎉 A photo map has been at the top of my Pixelfed wishlist! Can’t wait to see these pizzas mapped: pixelfed.social/NickSherman

I am very curious though: What data is used to place the items on the map? Will you finally start using geotag metadata from uploads? And/or allow location to be set with specific coordinates?

The current situation for assigning vague/arbitrary/ambiguous place names has left me wanting for more, for several reasons.

That feeling when a website’s normal scrolling behavior is controlled by a JavaScript tool instead of the native browser functionality.

@dansup @pixelfed This is just a one-way street though, right? I will be pleasantly surprised if Threads users are able to follow and interact with Pixelfed accounts.
