Thanks @quillmatiq for the call-out on @phanpy 🙇♂️ - "We Distribute Live — Sean Tilley — FediCon 2025" https://spectra.video/w/eLFTfynpY7yXksD6Am26sW

Looks like this. Threads count indicator badge added at the end of the sentence? 🤔

Oh? 😏😏

For context, here's a quite-meta screenshot of the same feature on #PhanpySocial

Notes:
- Threads has the advantage of doing this in the back-end, so it knows the current index and total count of threads immediately.
- Their UI is smaller, doesn't show the copy 'Thread', probably assuming users automatically understand what the badge means. Not sure why they push the badge at the end of the post sentence.
- They also show the badge on the Post page. #PhanpySocial only show it on the timeline.

My own test thread https://www.threads.com/@cheeaun/post/DNW7Q46TKL5

Seems like the badge doesn't appear for "forks" of threads 🤔

👀 Forgejo's "Roadmap for Federation" https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation/src/branch/main/FederationRoadmap.md — still looks like a lot of work need to be done 🥲

Much on-point comment 😂

🤔 Surpringly but also unsurprisingly specific. "Singaporeans are avoiding the U.S. more than other Asian travelers. Here’s why" https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/05/singaporeans-are-avoiding-the-us-more-than-other-asian-travelers-.html

@tchambers @Setok @box464 I'm aware of this https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/35210

Cool that @phanpy got mentioned in the "Pick of the week!" section of this "Smashing Security" podcast https://www.smashingsecurity.com/423-operation-endgame-deepfakes-and-dead-slugs/ 🙇♂️

Randomly saw this on HN: "LibRedirect – Redirects popular sites to alternative privacy-friendly frontends" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44344246 → https://libredirect.github.io/ and saw "Tenor → Soprano" → https://git.vern.cc/cobra/Soprano → went through the instances.json file, try one instance and check out the URLs.

So… it's just a media proxy? 🤔

Saw this "Followed hashtags" collapsible list on mastodon.social (v4.4.0 nightly), wondering how long the list of hashtags will be.

Turns out it's hard-coded to 4 🤷♂️
- Initial PR: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/35029/files#diff-69d0fde1e60d28600ccbca6546ac727c4136ca7b6cafa2d5f31e8f879c1610d1R35
- Latest change (June 23rd): https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/6d017dbf10c2a80e5e7fce387e50374ea6442d3b/app/javascript/mastodon/features/navigation_panel/components/followed_tags_panel.tsx#L27

There's no limit set for lists tho' (its API doesn't have `limit` too)

#MastoDev

Here’s a series of side quests on my other side projects:

1. WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) readings are now displayed as 🔥 on https://checkweather.sg/

Open-source: https://github.com/cheeaun/checkweather-sg
Data from data.gov.sg: https://data.gov.sg/datasets/d_87884af1f85d702d4f74c6af13b4853d/view

Why do mockups for web sites always start with large viewports (desktops)? 😅

It’s already 2025.

@manualdousuario I read their blog post: https://blog.cloudflare.com/full-stack-development-on-cloudflare-workers/ (April 2025). In short they're expanding to more full stack web hosting and this sentence "Cloudflare Pages will continue to be supported, but, going forward, all of our investment, optimizations, and feature work will be dedicated to improving Workers" is the wake-up call here.

Seems like @cloudflare now encourages moving from Pages to Workers.

Tried it and realised that it doesn't support separate env variables for different branches/environments 🤦♂️

@dansup 🙇♂️ it's better for main content to scroll with `body` and sidebars applied with either `positioned: fixed` or `sticky` 👍

@dansup is it possible to scroll the page if cursor is not placed in the center (e.g. the sidebars)? 🤔
