Have a look at #flohmarkt, federated decentral classified ad software using #activitypub: https://codeberg.org/grindhold/flohmarkt By @grindhold@chaos.social

Oh, that kind is good. Constructive feedback is very valuable. But the fediverse is full of people dropping derogatory sarcastic comments or even reacting in rage, that aren’t helpful in the slightest. I should’ve made that clearer in my first comment.

There’s no responsibility at all. There’s also full freedom to complain however you wish. If you do that on someone’s free work with which they try to help others, it just doesn’t look very good on you. That’s all.

One thing I don’t get. Among the gazilion “Oh, it is sooo easy to do this better” complainers are countless developers and designers. This whole Mastodon thing is Free Software, where countless people spent some of their free time and energy to give you what there is today. Complainer devs and UX folks, are your PR’s getting rejected?

That second comment by goplayoutside says it well: “Maybe the modest technical hurdles are a feature, not a bug.”

I think it is a feature, and the same is true for Mastodon and the Fediverse as a whole, imho.

There are a couple share project listed on https://delightful.club/delightful-activitypub-development/

Thank you. Well, not so much on this topic speciically. I would advise to create a bit more elaborate call-for-help with some more background info, cross-post it to other relevant Lemmy communities, boost it on the Fediverse. And likely good to create a separate fedi (pleroma/mastodon/ etc.) toot with a bunch of hashtags in it and a link to the Lemmy post. Hashtags like: #art #artwork #graphics #design #UX

Yes, true. I asked the question in a more general sense on the fedi: https://mastodon.social/@humanetech/107540889998564900

The question is whether the project should be forked into multiple separate projects at all. An alternative would be to have a generic “Directory Platform” and have modules to make it a Book Review platform, a Movie Database, or whatever-you-wanna-collect platform with another module. The modules would mostly be templates and data structures + user interface widgets to present them nicely.
