Help wanted!
Have you worked with the glitch-soc frontend code before? Do you want to do it again, because you just love fiddling with JS + React + Redux projects? Do you also like GoToSocial?
Well, good news for you then! The GtS fork of the Iceshrimp fork of the Glitch-Soc fork of the Mastodon frontend (which is deployed here: https://masto-fe.superseriousbusiness.org) needs people to help add GtS-specific features, and adapt existing glitch-soc frontend features to work with the GtS API.
There's three issues open right now that need some attention:
- Only 4 pictures displayed per post -- Since GtS by default has a limit of being able to upload 6 attachments (and this limit is tweakable in the settings file), it would be very useful if the client could display more than 4 attachments!
- Local-only statuses not actually local -- Glitch-soc indicates local only posts by appending an eye emoji to the post. But GtS has a specific
local_only boolean that can be set to true when submitting statuses. So to make local-only posts submittable via the client, it needs to be tweaked to use the boolean rather than the eyeball (what a sentence). - Nicer index.html page, with cute styling + link to source code -- Currently the landing page of the frontend is just a super barebones HTML page, it would be lovely if this was a bit nicer and more welcoming, and had links to the source etc.
Interested in volunteering? For no money?? For some reason??? You can just comment on one of the issues that you're gonna work on it, and get poking. Then everyone who uses the masto-fe can enjoy the fruits of your labors (including me, I use it every day). That's it :) Thanks for reading!
