I've now open sourced Mast! So you can see exactly how the app was made. Woo! 🎉❄️
@JPEG Oh wow! Completely open source?
@snder Yup every part of the app is available to see and check out.
@snder That's a great idea and will be cool to see you implement that, bypassing the initial instance entry page!
@JPEG Exactly! I've been searching for this for so long now haha.. I kinda gave up and offered my users the default mastodon apps page..
@spirit @JPEG @snder open source is a portmanteau word, when free is more specific. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_and_open-source_software_licenses
@JPEG Reading that toot, I wonder whether you know what GPL means ...
https://github.com/ShihabM/Mast/blob/master/LICENSE
@JPEG Ofcourse not but that goes without saying my friend ;-)
Isn't it an idea that you can maybe create some sort of Mastodon app template that connects to one specific instance only? I think many server admins love that some sort of a 'dedicated' app to their instance! (especially me
)
