@sindum I'm looking forward to your progress! Thank you for all the work thus far!

@sindum looks cool, interested to try this out!

@sindum from what I've seen so far today, this is a great idea. And great execution so far. You should put up a ko-fi and (eventually when you find the time) create governance around this project. It seems really really good.

Similar to, but not at all like Friendica. Never managed to make Friendica work well, but this seems very promising. (Not their fault, probably too much legacy stuff in the project)

@sindum yes please

@sindum @michael hubzilla is not user friendly, has both poor UX and UI.

While this is aiming at being user friendly first and foremost from what I'm reading

@sindum@mstdn.dk signed up, waiting for approval

I'm signed up!

@sindum @madsenandersc sent a signup request, I would love to test out how federation is working rough edges and all

@liaizon @madsenandersc Your are in - Welcome and happy testing. Great to see you

Friendica is a fun and very powerful software (it's currently objectively the most powerful in the Fediverse), but its ergonomics make it difficult to use, and Hubzilla makes the user experience even more difficult.
The only alternative on the horizon is Bonfire, but even that isn't exactly easy to master.
Fedibook is currently little more than a concept, but it has a simple and very interesting interface. It also seems to natively manage groups, although I haven't tested them with federation yet.
For this reason, I believe Fedibook is a very interesting project and one that deserves close attention.

Congratulations to @sindum@mstdn.dk for his initiative!

@informapirata, @sindum@mstdn.dk says no groups federation yet, but the way is paved!

I'm happy to work with him on it when it's time

@julian There is federation between fedibook instances usingActivityPub. But I cant see how groups will match i.e. Mastodon.

@julian interesting to see this come together, and it looks pretty good from the outside already, but I think @sindum needs to be a bit more upfront with how much of this whole thing is being made with Claude Code and how much is being coded by humans. I personally don't care that much that they are using it, but there is a tendency in the fediverse for extreme reactions and if people feel they are being tricked by something the reaction can be overwhelming

@liaizon @julian I'm not trying to hide that Claude Code is major player here. I'm fast prototyping

@sindum@mstdn.dk you wouldn't cater to Mastodon here. You'd be connecting with the threadiverse which is sometimes considered distinct from the microblog averse due to lack of proper support in Mastodon.
