yeah, I know how it is. I do about 99% of my programming in C# using Windows Forms aka winforms.I really like all the open source languages and tools, but I can rapid prototype a program in windows so much faster. I can build an exe targeting .NET 4.6 that will run on almost any windows 10 computer. Customers can just run the exe, and it just works. It won't need any dependencies because C# standard libs have everything you could ever want. It's statically typed, so there should be less errors, the IL makes it run pretty efficiently, and if I include the pdb, it will tell you the line number it crashed on when theres an error. And yeah, I agree that SSMS isn't very good. It's pretty clunky, and you have to write a lot of UDF's to do common things that it should already do.

That's a great write-up!Yeah, the Type Asymmetry issue, and the 'making frontends more customizable' are pretty big issues. I know I was pretty confused about how to manage all the different types of federated content. It took a while, but I eventually realized that having several accounts is the norm. Also, about making frontends more customizable, that's my day job. Programming the config/settings interface into web/desktop applications is hard work. Settings are one of the most overlooked parts of an application but also one of the most useful. Hopefully I'll be able to help in this area one day, but I've got a lot of reading/learning to do.

I totally disagree with this guy, but here's a video that explains quite a bit about why Gab/Truth Social is walled offGab employee explains why ActivityPub sucks

What I absolutely hate about Visual Studio Enterprise is that it matters if I boot my PC into Linux or Windows, I can't just open Visual Studio and continue coding.Simple life dis-pleasures, lol.

lol, I have the exact opposite problem. Some of my most successful projects start out with names like slasjdflkjsdd. When I get tired of trying to find slasjdflkjsdd in my galaxy of half-finished projects, I give it a real name and add it to a git repo. 🤣

yeah, I am trying to get started in fronted dev again, after a 3 year break and *A LOT* has changed in that time. I used to be able to set up the toolchain myself, but now it's too complicated. It has taken me an entire week of researching just to figure out what starter project and components to use. I finally decided on create-react-app because "it just works". That's OK, its a good starter project, but I was hoping to start with something a little more transparent. Aside from that, typescript support has gotten *WAY* better. I'm evaluating create-react-app + primereact for now, and so far, I'm really happy with it. The components in primereact are more than capable of doing everything I need and the themes are beautiful.

yeah, It really is better. At this point, I'm not afraid of refactoring a project written in typescript at all.

I'm not working on my own platform, but I am working on a client. It has been really slow getting started with it. Web development is just complicated. I can build pretty impressive desktop applications in .NET in a few weeks, but web development is SLOW. Especially if you know what you're doing and care alot about detail, it's even slower.

@sean @nolan @hypolite so I know '<domain name>/api/v1/instance' will give you info about a server, but it won't tell you what type of server it is. Is there another common activitypub endpoint for that?

@sean Thanks for doing this. Having a simple postman/hoppscotch collection would've saved me at least two weeks of time. I finally figured out most of my initial questions, but it took *alot* of searching.

Hey, if you plan on using typescript, some of my code might be of use. https://github.com/DOKKA/social-surfer and here's a working demo https://dokka.github.io/social-surfer/ You can click Fediverse Explorer --> Search to show a profile. That's all it does now, but it's getting there. May the CORS be with you, lol.
