Hi to all our new followers! We’re Manyfold, and we’re building a 100% free, open source, self hosted, federated asset manager for 3d printing!

We’ve done a lot already, but there’s lots more still to build. We’d love to hear how we can make this thing better for you, so please let us know!

We’re funded by @NGIZero for a little while longer, but if you like the idea, you can also support us directly at https://opencollective.com/manyfold, that will really help keep this thing going!

@silverpill ooh excellent thank you! Would you mind popping that into GitHub issues? https://github.com/manyfold3d/manyfold/issues/new

@silverpill we don't know of any *yet*, other than @floppy , which is the dev's own stuff!

🥳 Manyfold v0.82.0 is out, with two BIG features!

First up, we're joining the #Fediverse proper - you can follow public Manyfold creators on other ActivityPub platforms like Mastodon!

And secondly, Manyfold will now index PDF, TXT and video content as well as models and images!

Fancy a small preview of a BIG feature that's in the works?

#ActivityPub

@helge @silverpill ah, yes, I was looking at that table earlier! Still getting my head around the Right Way, but definitely want to do this as correctly and interopably as I can!

@silverpill @helge so is the general idea that instead of using a custom object type, you use a standard one (like Document) and add custom properties to it that other software can handle if they want and know how to?

@silverpill ooh thanks, I’ll read up on content and attributedTo! The standard Person is indeed the intent for the actor, I think I’ve just worded that badly :)

If you work on #ActivityPub federation, we'd be very interested in feedback on this draft design for Manyfold's future implementation, including an extension type for 3d models: https://manyfold.app/technology/activitypub.html
