#Emissary

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Someone on a forum pointed out that all the DS9 episodes are encoded to a older color standard that isn't properly translated to the standard supported on current televisions. It gives it the images a slight green tint.

Ever since I read that, I can't unsee the green tint on this show.

I've been busy over the weekend and am now trying to catch up on, like, a thousand unread messages in #Mastodon... which is absolute torture.

Notifications, threaded conversations, and "unread messages" feel completely broken -- at least in my beloved MacOS client.

When I'm able to update the inbox in #Emissary, it'll be a top priority to make something that handles complex messaging *at least as well* as my Mail client does.

... now where's that big pad of drawing paper?

@mike Thank you! And yes. Even the word "monetization" feels icky, with undertones of Silicon Valley in the 2000's.

But "paying people directly for their work" makes sense to me.

It's all about how we do it.

My hope is that open tools like #Emissary will help erode the grip that the big platforms have over everything ~ not just social media, but everything we do online.

After months of work, I'm excited to share these updates to #Emissary that let you sell #Music on the #Fediverse with #Bandwagon.

* Use YOUR OWN Stripe account
* Sell music as digital downloads
* Sell exclusive memberships to band updates
* 0% fees from me

This is free for everyone now, and will become a part of Bandwagon Premier when it launches later this year. More details are in the blog post:

Let's go make some noise.

I’m calling it here. New work on online payments and private news feeds in #Emissary is done.

I still need to do thorough QA and write documentation, but all of the major features are feature complete.

It’s been a frustratingly long road - nearly three months since this kicked off - but I’m super excited to get this out the door.

Expect some cool videos soon, and a final release in the next few weeks.

🎉

I love this article, and can't wait for Part 2. It is right in line with deadsuperhero.com/my-dream-fed

I've been getting started on a UX hit list for #Emissary but there's only so many words I can type in one day. Perhaps we can chat once you've put your thoughts into the next blog post?

deadsuperhero · My Dream Fediverse PlatformOver the years, I've had a bunch of ideas on how to move the Fediverse forward. This article highlights the culmination of what I'd like to build.

Just discovered Emissary. It’s a social web toolkit that’s “designed for end users, app creators, and hosting admins”. It’s a highly customizable and scalable ActivityPub-enabled server software with few dependencies.

Only two known servers currently use #Emissary, but one of them is highly prominent: bandwagon.fm.

This has lots of potential if you want to build federated social web software with a specific use case scenario in mind.

Here’s the website:
