And all of those App Stores could be using an app Lexicon, and get curated for unique needs, with social signals and ownership details.
Creating a universal app store for PWAs seems like an obvious win here vs. heuristics triggered installs. But think about smaller, more bespoke app stores! An app store for your intranet apps. An app store for your webring of online mutuals. An app store for kid-friendly apps. That's fun territory.
On the Edge team, we think web apps should be easier to install.
The default browser install button is great, but we'd like something which you can use on your own site, how and when you want it.

That's why we're proposing the Web Install API, which you can now test!

We're happy to announce that the Web Install API is now ready for testing on your own site, as an origin trial in Microsoft E

seafile is pretty cool

Switched my Immich instance from a VM in my friend's server to be running on my own old Optiplex PC! Working decently! Got like 230GB ish on there for storage, so should be ok for a bit.

Now looking to put Seafile on that other VM :O

this video is quite interesting, and it's pretty impressive what the models can do. i reckon the fact that he got it to take screenshots and look at what it did on each iteration def helped - www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7Yr...

only looked at the tabs for the first time today… recorded separately from the acapella so a little out of sync but mostly fine

first recording, first take, expect an updated one in future? (maybe a vid)

LISTEN ON @plyr.fm NOW!!

Kicking off a new series today! I will be going Beyond the Statushphere demo with tips and common gotchas when developing applications on ATProto.

First up is why and how you can get a user's PDS's URL to use in your applications you build.
Beyond the Statusphere: Part 1, Resolving the User's PDS
Learn why it's important to resolve the user's PDS and use that in your ATProto applications.
