We shipped a pretty cool feature to FediDB that allows anyone to edit and answer questions about software projects, like a wiki, and use that data to power a new software comparison feature.
Very nice!
I’ve submitted some updates to the features.
Nice! Curious also about PyLova.
At this point isn’t it just piefed with a “feature” or two stripped or reworked?
It’s got many new features, to the point PieFed is playing catchup with its latest releases to try and match what we’re offering.
Is that so? I suppose if anyone might know it would be you. I’ve given some thought to running a small local instance. May have to take a look later.
One day I’ll surely work some more on the website to advertise its offerings.
If you ever need help setting one up to have a play let me know!
Hah you weren’t kidding. Just looked at the org. SSL cert issue and 2 lines of text. SSL certs can definitely be a pain. And I haven’t designed a website myself in nearly 20 years realistically. Last one I did was for a project related to a tool using the old xiph.org vorbis tools long long ago. Simple and tight to not take forever even over dialup as broaband was still pretty new.
Will have to dig through the read mes later. Sort out database needs.
No idea, thats why it would be good to see a comparison.
Very cool. I was looking forward to something like this coming into existence or else I might have done it (probably with worse UI/UX than you did :D ).
And I’m glad to see that Mbin is still included in the list of major threadiverse platforms.
Maybe it’s because I’m on mobile right now, but it looks like a lot of the descriptions are cut off without any way to expand it. Assuming that texts ending in ”…” is supposed to continue.
I will improve the mobile layout, sorry about that!
That is cool. Would it also be possible to search for software that has a desired feature?
Good idea! You can now search by feature!
This list of features is microblogging-centered. Some things like boosts and mastodon make no sense for the threadiverse. And some things which should be there to compare, aren’t.
You can suggest new questions that are limited to specific segments like Forums and link aggregators
But can you suggest to remove existing questions?
there’s a filter to show “only differences” which I think is a good way to do these comparisons, since some Threadiverse software could have microblogging-centered features like Mbin does
But Mbin can do some microblogging things. It’s what distinguishes it from other threadiverse software. I think it makes sense to include if one of the three supports it, no?
