I am currently working on a crossplatform browser for the fediverse, which will allow you to unify identities from mastodon, bluesky, and anywhere else across the open/decentralized social web into a single feed for easy browsing and management. It will also serve as a highly customizable and feature rich fediverse client, allowing profile and client theme customization, as well as groups, rss subscriptions, and several other features I've yet to fully flesh out.
Things to note:
- This is a pre-alpha project, and just seeking some very initial feedback on the very broad strokes of what is planned and what is done so far. If you are interested in collaboration and furthering the development of the project, please feel free to reach out.
- Features such as groups (i.e. federating with the threadiverse such as lemmy/piefed) or rss subscriptions are not implemented yet, it's just a basic unified feed for bluesky/mastodon at the moment.
- This is not a live site that can be visited yet, it's just an app on your client that authorizes access to the various platforms through oAuth flows. However, the plan is to eventually have a dedicated server hosting infrastructure in place, with individual platform identities able to be registered on a unified instance, and local/self-hosting data storage options.
So, please provide any and all feedback you have on what I have shown above, both good and bad, and feel free to ask clarifying questions on how the platform will work overall. Open to hearing what people think of the idea overall.
I have very briefly considered a browser extension, but could not figure out how to do it in a way that made sense. Perhaps it could be something that I do once the full version has been fleshed out, so I can figure out what features would make sense as an extension, vs a standalone browser/platform.
I had heard about the fediforum, and am definitely interested. Thanks for the reminder, I will look into registering.
Best place to reach me would be lovingisliving.bsky.social and @lovingisliving@indieweb.social. I am not sure when I will be ready to talk about the project overall, but I am open to it down the line when things are more solidified.
Thanks for all of the info, I will definitely check out the podcasts and conference!
