A little more than half a year has passed since I naively wrote this (here): As of 2 days ago, the “holdout” Google services on my phone are: Google Music (won’t go in the foreseeable future) Oh, t…

👋 Hey there!
Sorry about the radio silence. We’ve been busy building Okuna for the web and profile visibility settings to make sure who wishes to go internet-wide-public on our launch, can do it at the tap of a button.
Here’s a peek into into our progress.
Please allow a couple seconds for the demo GIFs to load.
🏡 Communities
One of the great things of Okuna are its communities.
We’re making sure the web version does them justice in looks and functionality.
👨🎨 Theming
What was that? Will there be theming available too like on the mobile version? Yes. We’ve designed our interface to be completely theme-able by members.
👨🎤 Profiles
Profiles are also shaping up great.
We have some more things to build like link previews and multi-column posts but we’ll get there.
😍 Using that extra space.
We’re also making sure we can use all that extra desktop space when looking at all the c/openphotography community gorgeous photos.
🛎 Notifications
Of course, lets not forget about the core of all interactions in the platform, the simple yet trusty notifications section.
📱 Mobile-friendly
The web version is also mobile friendly and mostly mirrors the native apps.
🙅♀️ Profile visibility settings
Finally, we’re releasing profile visibility settings to make sure who wishes to go internet-wide-public on our launch, can do it at the tap of a button.
🌯 That’s a wrap.
Thanks to all of our Patrons and backers that support the day-to-day development of Okuna.
We hope you’re all safe and wishing you a great weekend ahead.
Stay tuned on our Twitter or in the official c/okuna community for more updates.
We're working as hard as possible given our previously communicated circumstances to launch as soon as possible.
About 7 years ago, I started shaving my head. Not the whole head, mind you. I started with the sides. I was scared to do more than that. I wrote an entire post on Facebook and Google Plus about exactly why I did it. For the most part, it was fueled by a desire to take back some control over a proble...
I have seen some articles in the past which explain how to build the ecosystem around your video streaming, such as live chat and forums, but which leave the actual video streaming to Twitch.tv. I made a note the last time I saw one of these articles to write one of my own explaining the video bit. As is often the case with video, we’ll be using the excellent ffmpeg tool for this. If it’s A/V-related, ffmpeg can probably do it.
I read a Fediverse post simply stating that what makes Twitter bad is the people on Twitter. I do not believe in this oversimplification, even if I believe the Fediverse is a better place than Twitter. But it isn’t because of any people’s quality criterion, rather about general policy and empowering users and admins.
