Almost every time I fly somewhere, I get sick, and it kinda ruins every vacation ever. I’m not sure if it’s the germs on the airplane (causation), or the time zone difference affecting my sleep (correlation). Maybe a combination of both? Last trip, it hit me about 3 days in.

I wouldn’t say my drinking/sleeping habits are that different on vacation compared to my regular life. Is this a common thing people experience, or time to see a doctor?

I desperately wanna enjoy a vacation sickness free and then return to work refreshed instead of sick.

I can generate ideas way faster than I can actually work on those ideas, so please rank which of these you want to see most:

• Expand post to load more types on content directly in Blorp (e.g. redgifs were added recently)
• Less comments moving/shifting around as they load (most noticeable on posts with 100+ comments)
• Fix Android full screen video controls getting cut off (if you've seen this bug)
• The groundwork to allow viewing posts that aren't in communities, which could maybe (no promises) make mbin possible
• Comment jump button, which jumps to the next top level comment
• Translate Blorp into other languages
• Continue adding support for nsfw content viewing
• Streamline login experience
• Edit alt text in posts and images in comments
• Edit community sidebar in Blorp
• Create communities in Blorp
• Promote moderators in Blorp
• Or anything else you wanna add

My time is limited, and some of these could send me on a 1+ month journey which would delay other work. Choose wisely

• New theme system with a Dracula dark theme

• Create and edit polls on PieFed communities

• Alt text labels on images in comments

• Saved comment indicator now show in profile, search, and inbox

• Fixed an issue where profiles with lots of comments would stop loading

I'm laying the groundwork that will allow you to use different accounts in different tabs. That wasn't really the intention of the work I was doing, but it turned out to be a happy accident.

You can try it out using this experimental build:

Shot in Asbury Park NJ, right by the beach, on my Fuji XS-10 + Tamron 18-300mm. I shot this photo last year.

Let’s say you click on a NSFW post on home tab, a community, etc, should it unblur the post? Currently you have to click the “show nsfw” button. If you open the post, it requires a second click.

I’m thinking about making it so it unblurs when you open the post. The exception would be if someone direct links you to the post. The I will still require you click “show nsfw”.

If you agree it should unblur, then what should happen when you return to home, the community, etc? Should it reapply the blur or remain unblured in the feed of multiple posts?

This site will also serve as a rough roadmap as well as a way to share the links to download Blorp. If you wouldn't mine looking at the "Feature Matrix" section and let me know:

1. What is missing
2. What needs to be corrected
3. How it could be better organized

Whatever you ask to be added to the feature matrix is more likely to be added to Blorp.

My goal is to make the feature matrix all green checkmarks. Thanks!

It's been pretty quiet around here. I had a pretty slow January working on Blorp, but I found more motivation in February. So I'm back at it.

A few Blorp experimental builds I'm currently working on (experiments are web only):

• PieFed emoji reactions
  • https://piefed-emoji-reactions.blorp-6rm.pages.dev/
• Create and Edit PieFed polls in Blorp
  • https://piefed-create-edit-polls.blorp-6rm.pages.dev/
• Manual pagination for posts/comments/etc if you're not a fan of infinite scroll
  • https://manual-pagination.blorp-6rm.pages.dev/
• Upgrade the rich text post and comment editor
  • https://official-tiptap-markdown-sup.blorp-6rm.pages.dev/
  • This one's kinda boring, because if it's working correctly you shouldn't notice a difference

Depending on when you're seeing this, I may or may not have already merged these into https://blorpblorp.xyz/. Once it's merged there, it's in the pipeline for Android and iOS.

Let me know if you like this format where I show you working examples of what I'm building.

First off, looks like a lot of new people joined the community, so welcome! Let me know if you need anything.

I wanted to get some early feedback on the new Explore (previously called communities) page.

Note: This comparison only really works if you're viewing on web.

This is what the update looks like and this is what it previously looked like

Sorry this took me so long, but you can now manage post and comment reports from the inbox, but only on https://blorpblorp.xyz/ for now. I don't moderate many communities, so if anyone here is an active mod, I would appreciate some help testing the feature. If that goes well, we can roll this out to the native iOS and Android apps soon.

Happy holidays everyone!

Edit: Lemmy only for now, as PieFed doesn’t support reading post/comment reports via the API yet. But I will try and get that in very soon
