@zoeimogen I think if I ever reboot my long-form brain that's what I intend to do. I like the multi-column mastodon-deck style interface better than friendica for small chat things, but I can see how friendica's would work better for longer replies.
Context: my kid is mildly allergic to citric acid and citric fruit. Brings out eczema. And citric acid is in SO many things. And it’s painful checking ingredients lists for it.
This morning I wondered: can my phone OCR the ingredients list and check it?
My first thought was to make a little web app. But there doesn’t seem to be a OCR in web browsers yet.
Now this is interesting. A Fediverse platform developed by Cloudflare that inherently runs on Cloudflare without needing dedicated infrastructure.
The code is open source yet the platform itself is inherently proprietary. It's going to be very interesting how this unfolds given how unpopular Cloudflare is with many Fediverse admins
@Zoe O'Connell says that I need to post something. Here is a dreadful selfie taken in low light with the new @Raspberry_Pi@raspberrypi.social camera module version 3 with no IR filter. Haven't worked out how to do alt text in Friendica.

in reply to Sarah Brown • •It finally sorted out XKCD via RSS this morning, but it took ages. Not sure what's going on there.
But I think this sorts out many of the problems that @oatmeal@mastodon.social talks about in this comic. theoatmeal.com/comics/reaching…
I'll probably end up using Friendica for more articles, comics/news feeds and stuff - then Mastodon for chatting.

in reply to Zoe O'Connell • •@Zoe O'Connell can long form blog on Friendica too then retoot.
It’s also good for following Lemmy forums. That’s a particularly unsatisfactory experience on mastodon.
