When I think of obvious missing tech products, I can’t do most of them, because as soon as the idea gained traction as a product it would be taken over by a big company, partly because users prefer that. So a lot of gaps never get filled.
That’s the lesson from twitter shutting down the clients again. It isn’t just twitter, you as an independent developer, can’t step into any platform vendor’s territory, they will eventually take away your business.

I just found Mapstodon : a very nice interactive map of #Mastodon instances and their public timeline, grouped by region and interest.

I just gotta say, I don’t get on #Mastodon very often, but every time I do, I come away feeling happy and peaceful. Like I just spent some time hanging out with some interesting and laid back people who I hope to run into again.
@esmail Ah, thanks! Yeah, I'd need to use a better server for that probably.
@esmail I'll have to learn mailcow another day. I tried https://yunohost.org, but that took up way too much server memory.
@esmail That's exactly what I used this morning! :) Reading the script, I can see how it could have been much more work.
@esmail Haha! Yes, I'm having the "Wow, it works!" feeling today. :D
@delta Oh good! 'Cause as it is, that's going to be confusing for normal people.
@mcg Yeah, me learning how to do it is what I was excited about. :)
@delta
I was planning on posting a suggestion to the forums that the error message include a link with better instructions! The "You may want to send an Autocrypt setup message from there" error is very vague! How!?
@delta Cool. Understood. Do the timestamps also include the time to send read receipts? That might explain how 4 seconds feels like 1 on the devices.
@pescetarian Ha! Yes. I used this script (https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/emailwiz) on a cheap KVM VPS from here (https://www.racknerd.com/kvm-vps). Just learning how to do it.
@delta Is that the tap & hold received message> "i" circle icon > Sent/Received time codes? Picture took 30 seconds according to that then, while text takes 4, but it felt way faster in the devices.
@delta Yeah, it took a few more seconds to upload the image. The little animated circle icon was probably indicating that. Whereas plain text is very close to instant. Not a problem, just obviously needs to transfer more data.
I successfully made my own server for @delta! Woo hoo! Only using 215Mb RAM on a VPS so far. #DeltaChat #WhatsApp #Signal
@Pattyagray Nice! Here's 2001 for me: http://web.archive.org/web/20010202061200/http://www.adamlein.com/ It even had a responsive design for smartphones before smartphones existed. :)
@Pattyagray I can't find any of my stuff before 2001 on the Wayback Machine and that was after I moved on from Geocities.
