@thisismissem 2 questions:

1. Is there a way to detect if the oauth endpoint supports PKCE? I guess per-instance?
2. Does the `/oauth/token` endpoint support the additional `code_verifier` param?

Gosh this PKCE stuff goes back to 2020.

#OAuth

@dansup should be per-device in my opinion, e.g. I use light on desktop but auto on mobile.

Small update on #PhanpySocialDev and those on *upcoming* Mastodon v4.3+: new V2 settings for filtered notifications.

References:
API: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/31343
Web UI: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/31342

Mastodon Web UI obviously has *way more* explanatory copy for every filter choice and what happens etc.

🔔 Experimental opt-in server-side grouped notifications (for upcoming Mastodon v4.3, announced here https://oisaur.com/@renchap/112812306472121018) — it’s a bit of a “downgrade” but worth testing. Described as “Potentially improved grouping window but basic grouping logic”.
🪣 Grouped filtered posts inside boosts carousel

@dansup @pixelfed it would be like switching between list view and grid view but you’ll have to sync the scroll/pagination states between both 🤔

Trying to document #PhanpySocial 's notifications grouping logic 🔔

Honestly, instead of putting AI in the browser, I would be more grateful if browser developers add a local built-in SQLite database with full-text search plus few sprinkles of JS (no, not SQLite WASM, not IndexedDB).

*Then* extend it with CRDT and server-local sync like CouchDB/PouchDB or RxDB.

Food for thought: "It’s Over: The Rise & Fall Of Google Authorship For Search Results" (2014) https://searchengineland.com/goodbye-google-authorship-201975

Happened to me in 2011 (13 years ago even before all the news about Chrome extensions being malicious etc). Sold my extension for USD10K. New owner modified it, inject tracking code & replace ads on websites with their own. I was very angry because it was unethical. I didn't know they could do that as they told me Google allowed it at that time. It got banned by Google a year later.

It was one of my best projects, but I don't feel comfortable talking about it anymore.

Managed to build https://www.threads.net/@checkweathersg yesterday — automated posting of rain radar images when it's raining in Singapore. https://www.threads.net/@cheeaun/post/C8cUBHbSCHF

This complements the rest of the ecosystem:
Web: https://checkweather.sg/
Fediverse: @checkweathersg
Telegram: https://t.me/checkweathersg
iOS app: https://apps.apple.com/app/check-weather-sg/id1510170224

It seems to be working as I'll only know when it rains in Singapore. I call this Rain Driven Development (RDD) 😉

While the Mastodon devs are working hard on grouped notifications (https://oisaur.com/@renchap/112617007803967168), I took a separate route to whip up a WIP UI on Phanpy for "timeline of public posts about a trending link" https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/30381

Notes:
- This is for upcoming v4.3 (not out yet)
- The copywriting here is tough, settled on "Mentions" for now
- Permalink can't be created for each link as the link can "expire" from trending

#PhanpySocialDev (still on my local dev, not dev site)

@dansup @loops Screen time.

From the beginning, Phanpy consists of UI ideas from many various apps.

#PhanpySocialDev now has a small new UI experiment, copied from an app that I think some folks don't know: Weverse, a K-pop fan platform. Multiple media attachments won't be in a grid layout when opened in the post view. That's it.

#UX #Design

Saw this, translated from another language:
"After using phanpy, the frequency of my blood pressure rise has been greatly reduced."

oh lol wow 😂🤣

@brad_frost there's Tangerine by @nileane https://github.com/nileane/TangerineUI-for-Mastodon and Bird UI by @rolle https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon-bird-ui

@Gargron from what I researched, their discord is probably the best place to contact them now.
