Eliot: unleashed @eliotberriot@mastodon.eliotberriot.com

Je ne suis pas dehors pour la fête de la #musique, mais puisqu'on parle de musique, je voulais vous présenter le projet sur lequel je bosse depuis un moment :

https://funkwhale.audio/

L'objectif : un Grooveshark libre, auto-hébergeable et multi-utilisateur.

Bien sûr il manque encore des choses mais ça prend forme. Et j'ai mis en place la démo publique ce soir :)

Après presque 10 ans de bons et loyaux services, il était plus que temps de remplacer mon avatar.

Merci à @kaerhon pour son super boulot ❤️

A.k.a unsollicited joyful melancholy

Current mood is: I don't really know what I'm doing here, but the light is warm, people are nice and I want to stay a bit more

Cours, jette

Freyza ET Elisa ont changé d'avatar, je suis complêtement perdu dans ma TL T.T

As part of the 0.20 release, we wanted to incite users to support their pod and the project. But we didn't wanted this to be intrusive or aggressive.

I've made an attempt at a solution with https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/merge_requests/900.

Basically, 15 days after signup, we'll show a notification in the sidebar. In the notifications page, users will see a message explaining how they can help Funkwhale and, if admins configured a message, a similar message but for their pod.

These message are periodical, but can be disabled entirely.

The attached video demonstrate the feature, any feedback would be much appreciated!

So, that's the current changelog for the 0.20 release: https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/snippets/73

There will be a few additional rows before the final release, but that's mostly it.

Not the biggest changelog we had, but a nice one! Interesting new features include:

- Genres/hashtags on tracks/albums/artists
- Reports
- Allow-listing (as far as I know, we're the first project to have this? But I may be wrong)
- Dark theme
- Landing page / about page redesign
- Playlist embeds
- Rate-limiting
- Security enhancement via CSP
- Custom CSS

Our initial plan was to have a 3 months release cycle, so we're a late, given the previous release was mid-May. I think we'll have a final release for the first week of october, so that's almost 5 months.

But hey, summer was hard, and we probably where a bit ambitious with the roadmap anyway, so I won't complain!

Tiens, du Madame Kay dans la tête, c'est chaud

Sooo, after months of discussion at https://governance.funkwhale.audio/d/aDqFmMuT/customizable-landing-page-for-instances, and lots of small MRs to prepare for it, I've started to work on the actual redesign of #Funkwhale's landing page earlier this week.

And I'm now confident enough to open a merge request and ask for feedback!

https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/merge_requests/899

I also had to redesign the about page ;)

If you follow this link, you'll find:

- A short video to demonstrate the new pages (landing and about)
- Some links to try out a live version

Can you please try it out and tell me how it works for you?

Excerpt from the release notes for this feature:

In this release, we've completely redesigned the landing and about page, by making it more useful and adapted to your pod
configuration. Among other things, the landing page will now include:

- your pod and an excerpt from your pod's description
- your pod banner image, if any
- your contact email, if any
- the login form
- the signup form (if registrations are open on your pod)
- some basic statistics about your pod
- a widget including recently uploaded albums, if anonymous access is enabled

The landing page will still include some information about Funkwhale, but in a less intrusive and proeminent way than before.

Additionally, the about page now includes:

- your pod name, description, rules and terms
- your pod banner image, if any
- your contact email, if any
- comprehensive statistics about your pod
- some info about your pod configuration, such as registration and federation status or the default upload quota for new users

With this redesign, we've added a handful of additional pod settings:

- Pod banner image
- Contact email
- Rules
- Terms of service

Just handled my first actual #Funkwhale report \o/
