Our friends @funkwhale are looking for a more reviewers to reduce their bus factor.

It looks like they are using #CodiMD to coordinate it! 🎉

If you want to know more details check with @eliotberriot 😁

We did a lot of progress to reduce the bus factor lately, but most of the code is still owned and maintained by me.

I think one way to improve that situation would be to have some reviewers before I merge my contributions, to distribute ownership of the codebase on other people.

If you have some interest in HTML/JS/Python/CSS/Design/Docs, and want to help, do you mind adding your name here so I can ping you when relevant?

Red counters on notifications are specificially designed by social media "engagement experts" to be anxiety-inducing.

We need a color which is like "you have a notification, but don't worry about it, you can see it when you feel like it".

I like how #Pinafore did it. In fact, there's a lot to learn from Pinafore on ethical design.

Ethical tech should let people use it with intentionality and purpose unlike the manipulative tactics of surveillance capitalist tech.

#Funkwhale is awesome!

My #FF today goes for an open source project that I like very much:

🐋 #Funkwhale ~ @funkwhale - a social platform to enjoy and share music while being federated, if you want to!

You can read more about it at https://funkwhale.audio/ if you don't know what it is.

And even though it's still in development you can also already join an open pod and start using it!

🐳 Here's a couple of them:

You have just 2 days left to vote on all the names for Betty's friends! ❤️ @funkwhale

After some time I added a new #CreativeCommons album to #FunkWhale instance open.audio.

It's one of the latest from netlabel Abstrakt Reflections.

I'm looking forward to the day when the library will be big enough to create public playlists as some form of podcasts.

You may remember I've been experimenting with a #CLI client for #Funkwhale a few months ago.

I made progress today, and it's now possible to manage libraries and upload files with it, as featured in the video below!

It's a great alternative if you have a lot of files to upload, or prefer CLI tools over a web UI.
