I don’t have a public email address, but as far as making a new site a first-class UpdateKit citizen, API parity with something like Switchblade (github.com/MikeBeas/swi...) would go a long way.

I’ll see if I can put together a more complete guide to maximizing UpdateKit compatibility soon!

black mirror actually did something like this with an episode about gaslighting www.tomsguide.com/entertainmen...
I watched the Black Mirror season 7 episode that's got everyone talking — and it almost canceled my marriage

one key problem is if the user account is on a different PDS that they don’t control, they don’t have an email address to send the email to at all. because that would require the PDS to publicly publish the email address of every user on the server.

yeah but i think including the post text is probably the way to go on that front.

the three parts are what up the protocol. the protocol is intentionally designed so that any of those pieces can be replaced by any app developer. the fourth piece isn’t part of the protocol so it isn’t really part of the conservation.

nope, they’re totally distinct. third-party front ends can use the official app view and they can also provide an option to switch app views if they want.

We are already in that world and people have already switched to @blackskyweb.xyz’s app for that exact reason.

The AppView is not what you’re typing into. The AppView is a server component. The official app doesn’t have the ability to use a different AppView for App Store/Google Play policy reasons but third-party clients, including forks of the official app, can switch to others.

gotta play control between them, the “AWE” DLC ties heavily into alan wake and has a bunch of collectible lore objects that explain certain small things you’ll see in alan wake 2. also the game is just extremely good.

Just my current handle and @mkbs.me. Used to have more but I let them go a long time ago because I didn’t need them.
