Good morning, sunshine ☀️

I had a pretty rough day and contemplated just giving up on @pixelfed because it seems like I can’t catch a break

But after calming down, I started to remember all the big milestones and the people who believe in our platform and in me

I’m not ready to give up, in fact this was the kick in the ass I needed to get my priorities straight and focus on shipping the app ASAP and also Groups

I’m a few months behind on my NLnet Groups milestone and need the money so that’s my focus after the app

The Windows/Linux situation over the past few decades is an interesting study in just how bad you can make a paid product before people will suffer some friction to move to a free one.

I'm just a humble country chicken admin, but I've been thinking a lot about the cost of the fediverse and how we can improve it for all of the instances... in a coop kind of way

The cost of handing all of the media is THE major problem for me atm.

Oh man, the new Pixelfed app keeps getting better and better!

I’m now finishing up Push Notifications support, which is the most requested feature besides share intents (which I shipped earlier tonight)

Not only is it fast, lightweight and open source, but also packed with many long overdue features like Push Notifications 😎

It’s everything you wanted, plus more ✨

I'm debating reviving my official pixelfed hosting service idea, it's not a regular host service though!

Rather you'd bring a S3, Hetzner, Linode, DigitalOcean API key to our service

We would provision or otherwise manage (1-click updates, automated backups) your instance while allowing you to maintain total control over ownership of the underlying server and data

I'm thinking $5-20 a month for this, and it would allow admins a new level of peace of mind while maintaining total control
