I love this idea so I just enabled the swipe library we have now (closed, boooo) and submitted my first set of test data. It worked just like in the video here. Neat!

If anyone sees this post and wants some more background on the keyboard and why it’s so handy, here you go:

Hi @carlnewton@feddit.uk , I really love this idea and really appreciate you taking on this big task.

I can see it replacing the stand-alone web site I run now for a local group, but I have a couple of questions before I go install the app and try it out.

1. Do you have a list of existing instances somewhere? I looked around in your github and blog site, and could not find that.
2. How do you keep the content that gets posted to stick to the local topic? I.e., if I set up a site for my small city, what’s to stop someone from spamming posts about the big city nearby? Or a big city plumber from advertising their services?
3. How do admins deal with spam / negative content getting posted? Once a site takes off, this is a real problem, I hope you’re thinking about how to solve.

Again, thanks.

Good to know, thanks.

Yah, I just read the History section of the OO wikipedia page, and it mentions that from the start. I’m not someone with a knee jerk reaction to “Russian” but it’s worth considering. Thanks.

The question then is: Does CP replacing the server-side code with their own resolve this concern, or is there still a risk there? Man, nothing is simple.

I’ll believe that when my sisters start saying this. Till then, it’s just us privacy fans screaming in a dark cave, enjoying the echo.

Yes but the RSS feed for non-subscribers is just the announcement of the post. I still have to go to the site to read the whole newsletter, which is fine.

Yep. I got an email from them yesterday. My lil box is going from just under 4 USD to 5 USD per month.

Yeah. I thought of Planka.

I use the free version and its great for what OP described. Really simple to set up in docker too.

Happens to me with eBay too. Sucks.
