Notes
We talked about Octothorpes (looks like a modern web ring) and its use during Wired Web October. From a german point of view, Octothorpes doesn't seem to be GDPR compliant, though. :)
Max talked about his experience as pen & paper game master. They do sessions over normal video chat, but this has issues due to lag. So he implemented his own solution using WebRTC with a viewer and a presenter component. Players can use the viewer component, the game master starts the presenter component. You can then drag images to the presenter component, and if you click on a picture it gets pushed through a websocket to the viewer component. He encountered some interoperability issues between Firefox and Chrome, the whole thing is still WIP. See the code on https://github.com/maxhaesslein/image-push.
BjΓΆrn set up his own ActivityPub instance using GoToSocial. He set this up using split-domain deployment, so the server is available at social.stierand.org, but the accounts are just on stierand.org. He documents the still ongoing process at https://bjoern.stierand.org/notes/socialmedia/gotosocial/ and plans to move his current Mastodon account from @egoexpress@mastodon.social to the new account @bjoern@stierand.org.
Tilman talked about a cooperation he plans with local web hosting provider Hetzner. They plan to provide web space and even Nextcloud instances for all students and teachers at Technische Hochschule NΓΌrnberg. He created a web site for this using animated SVGs.
Alex re-started application development using Swift and showed up what he's currently up to. He showed a rough draft of a workout app he's currently creating. As he stopped iOS development when Swift came along, he currently has a steep learning curve. Later he also showed up some of his latest non-IndieWeb art projects.
