@jwildeboer In Finland they’ve shutdown the app as they are unable to trace the cases anymore. So few people anymore go to doctor / testing (not even officially advised to in case of mild symptoms) and register their infection to COVID tracing app that it became less useful than it was.
We are teaming up with the design agency @oakstudios to update our homepage and our brand. Goodbye social media blue, hello vibrant purple!

@radicalrobit Cooool…. Cloudpunk was already impressive. Adding this to my radar.
@libei Ok. I think I’ll wait until few public betas before jumping in. Really like long battery life of iPhone 13 😁

#Mastoot 1.7 is released. This version has a initial push notification support, I’m not very satisfied with the experience, push notification support will be polished in future versions.

My big problem with those donation economies - patreon, github sponsors, etc - is that they tend to concentrate on a few big people.
People join a mastodon instance and try to give to Gargron, who already gets *checks notes* a bit over 6000€ per month.
Instead of doing that, check if your local admin needs it more, tbh

I didn't want to spend the time to turn it all into a "proper" blog post as I'm not exactly making any strong arguments, really. This is just more like a list of observations and a few stray thoughts about ideas that I'm sure aren't unique or new. 🙂
