It's really nice to have people like Dan working on the fediverse. So many ideas, so much enthusiasm, so many projects. Just imagine how things would develop if he could work full time on fediverse stuff.
Thanks for the great podcast episode. Awesome stuff!
@squirrel@peertube.wtf thank you! And I agree. Some people were saying he promises and doesn't deliver and my thought was he's passionate and is trying FOR FREE and giving out his code FOR FREE. :-).
@firesidefedi This is the first Fireside Fedi show I've watched, and I found that extremely entertaining. Love the format. Really well done! I'll need to check out the others now :D
@jumboshrimp@the.tonytiger.club thank you! And if you have any constructive criticism or requests of folks you'd like to see on the show, please don't hesitate to let me know!
@firesidefedi
I gotta say Loops needs some major love. No real updates in months, and one wrong touch and wham your back at the top and lost your scroll. At least on Android.
It practically unusable github.com/joinloops/loops-app
@Mrfunkedude
@justin@mastodon.tacoma.community yeah Daniel said he's going to be giving it a lot of love soon. Especially now that he has a team helping him. I look forward to what they can bring.
@justin @firesidefedi Same on IOS. A lot of times Loops feels like I just found someone's SD card full of cat videos and random travel logs.
@justin@mastodon.tacoma.community @Mrfunkedude@mastodon.social lol cat videos are good though. But yeah, he said he's getting Pixelfed in a better shape and then deep diving on Loops. But he has a team to help him with all of it now, so we should be seeing good movement this year on both.
Just finished listening to @dansup interviewed live on @firesidefedi! It was the first time I have heard his voice in all these years of interacting on the #fediverse! Would love to see @mike get Daniel on the @dot_social podcast next!video.firesidefedi.live/w/kk7x
@liaizon @dansup @firesidefedi @dot_social loved this interview. Dan is building amazing things and I really enjoyed getting to hear more from behind the scenes.
@liaizon@social.wake.st @mike@flipboard.social thank you very much! I appreciate it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Or ifbyou yourself would like to be on the show please let me know.
@liaizon@social.wake.st heck yeah! The more points of view the better. :-). Thanks for listening in! Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any constructive criticism or siggestoons!
@firesidefedi my first suggestion would be setting a limit to how many things you say "thats awesome!" to (:
@liaizon@social.wake.st lol got you. Thanks. I didn't even realize I was doing it excessively. :-D Thank you.
+1 for a dot.social interview, I feel it casts a wider net with viewers that wouldn't ordinarily be exposed to Daniel's work.
@liaizon@social.wake.st @lps@video.1146.nohost.me I've tried reaching out to them, but I'll keep trying. :-). Thank you for the interest.
@firesidefedi @lps I think you might be misunderstanding the comment. I think they meant that Daniel should do an interview with Dot Social
@liaizon@social.wake.st @lps@video.1146.nohost.me oh yes! I get you and I also agree he should do as many as possible. We all need to get the word out.
Moria's Race soundtrack to loops? How do I do that? Again...
Glad that the ToS was finally addressed 👍
@bekopharm@makertube.net yeah, sounds like he struggled with that, bug it's a learning lesson.
Awesome interview!
Guessing it's going to start, we'll get told how close it is and how fantastic it is and then we'll just keep waiting?
Not sure I understand. This is a VOD OF my conversation with dansup about his projects.
he has a history of not delivering. hes a better marketer than developer.
He definitely has a LOT on his plate. But as he said he has a team he's working with to start ticking things off. We can either believe he'll do it, help do it, or not believe. He's trying and moving forward. I give him points for that.
yeah, many of us have heard that from him a lot over the last few years. he no longer gets points from me from words that come out of his mouth.
put up, or shut up
Also looking at the projects he has created, saying that he has not delivered anything seems a bit... Imprecise.
Every project I know of on the Fediverse is a work in progress, and it's always a question of prioritization. But Dansup has created, and continues to create, some amazing stuff. Even if he sometimes gets a bit ahead of himself in advertising stuff.
I agree. We need passionate folks that want to build everything. But they're also human. I've been saying I wanted to create a Fedi Donate website for a few months. I haven't really worked on it. Maybe some day I will, maybe not. But I have started other projects and continue to move forward on those. I don't think it's unreasonable for people to judge that I haven't released it, but also, I do work on other things as well. Let's balance it out.
