@dansup I love your ideas and concepts but I have to admit I’m very sad to hear that the iOS version will be written in react native and not swift ui. I really wanted to like pixelfed, but the app feels very out of place on iOS and janky not because it’s not a well made app (it is) but it feels very “androidy” on iOS which will not bode well for adoption, and lead me to delete it and go back to browsing pixelfed via Mona app instead.

@dansup I mean tbf, modern PHP uses JIT so I'm not surprised it goes BRRRRRRRRR.

@dansup I got a lampp stack, can I host the server myself?

@dansup hi. how well it will support attached files? I'm pretty frustrated with Signal in this regard, that media's original metadata in not preserved

@dansup Neat. I'd be curious what the function of the "server" is, and what its relationship to the "account" (if accounts on existing instances can be used) is.

Is this encrypted chat transported over the existing ActivityPub network, or a new network that does an Oauth thing to use ActivityPub accounts as usernames?
