My husband's civil engineering job just gave him the best corporate pride month tshirt of all time

Leaving “Sent from my iPhone” on is a complete release from the aesthetic jail of composing a well crafted email. Just throw words onto your screen and send. You are set free, there is no form to bend to

StreetPass now has preset options for opening profiles with Mona (@MonaApp) and Phanpy (@phanpy)! First update of 2024 - some cool things coming later 😄

#streetpass

One year of StreetPass today!! Here's an abridged list of everything that's gone down

- Initial Chrome-only spaghetti code extension
- 🦊 Firefox
- Beautiful new icon by @andycarolan
- 🧭 Safari
- Export data
- Retry logic if a Mastodon instance happens to be down when queried
- Updated the mastodon codebase itself to start returning avatars in webfinger responses
- Display usernames and avatars instead of just profile links
- Editing features: Reset and Hide functionality

#streetpass

Hny! You can now Hide All when editing hidden profiles in StreetPass. Saving you a lot of time if all you wanna do is clear out your list!

Out today at https://streetpass.social 😉

@pfefferle @cdevroe yea that sounds great! I haven’t looked too deep into the WP activitypub plugin yet but will be sure to be thorough 😄

@pfefferle @cdevroe This is cool thank you! Would you be okay with me opening up a PR to get this webfinger scheme to work? https://notiz.blog/.well-known/webfinger?resource=https://notiz.blog (this scheme is already supported by mastodon)

it would return the same data as https://notiz.blog/.well-known/webfinger?resource=notiz.blog@notiz.blog

@cdevroe @ChrisPirillo how could StreetPass be more akin to the original UX of the RSS icon? Maybe by showing the current page’s linked profiles at the top of the list, regardless of if you’ve seen it already?

@cdevroe right I see now, so a little different use case. I think that’s a cool idea!

@cdevroe have some ideas after thinking about it over the weekend. This is gonna be the next thing I work on for StreetPass 😄

@cdevroe @pfefferle I think the most robust way to do it would be to allow this webfinger pattern to work: https://pfefferle.org/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:https://pfefferle.org , where the account resource is a link to an activitypub profile

Right now, WP blogs only respond to https://pfefferle.org/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:pfefferle.org@pfefferle.org , where the account resource is the username@domain scheme

Other platforms such as mastodon correctly respond to both webfinger requests, which is how streetpass works! i'm happy to open up a PR this week! both requests are spec-compliant btw

@Mastodon @renchap huge!! Congrats 🎉

So excited to announce a brand new feature for StreetPass: Custom Profile URLs! Users now have the ability to set a custom URL scheme they want profiles to be opened with.

This feature is super powerful. Not only can you set it to your home server to easily follow people, you can also set it to 3rd party Mastodon apps... even native ones (🤯)! A few presets include @ivory, @elk, and @IceCubesApp, as well as mastodon.social & mastodon.online

Try it today at https://streetpass.social 😄

@heluecht do you have any more info in that? Just curious :)

I think I figured out a way to show profile pics on StreetPass, all while still keeping the logic for profile resolution 100% clientside (no centralized server needed & no data ever leaving your browser!)

It involves pushing a change to Mastodon itself 👀 We can update the webfinger responses to include an “avatar” link – something that's already documented in the webfinger spec here https://webfinger.net/rel/

Just opened my first PR in the mastodon repo with the changes 🎉 https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26558

I'm so excited to announce that StreetPass is now available for Safari in the Mac App Store!! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/streetpass-for-mastodon/id6446224821 #StreetPass

Damn I'm already so into this and I've been only working on it for like 30m lol. #StreetPass but with social details
