@urshanabi ugh, might've nautilus. One of the two.
@urshanabi libreoffice is light years behind MS wrt polishing. Agree on Thunar, IIRC they had this network-based plugin / interaction system that was very open & easy to interface with, far beyond what e.g. Win offered. I'm not sure if it led anywhere, but cool idea.
@WomanCorn makes sense to me, as long as the design isn't too big a part of your product at least. I suppose they only had the graphic design done?
I feel that this does not work anymore once we consider more holistic "UX design". One can't outsource one's core value proposition because the fair price for that would be the value of the whole company. This should apply to open source projects as well.
This might be unfair, but I feel that some apps are "basically nothing but UX".
Ok @rem_note , you got me with PDF integration. (Linked highlights 🤯) Now I have to try it out for my next project. https://youtu.be/yJ9rX2K__3M
@flancian maybe they should offer something in return. Like a gift card or so.
@Navertal true. Maybe if the bridge was a bit more complete...
I don't see a whole lot of engagement on Mastodon anyways tbf (also for other people's toots). Seems like the typical platform kick-off problem. How did Twitter / reddit / etc solve that again??

@srs @bmann @thor @SocialCoop @admin @locus yeah, that's a great idea IMHO. 'local' and 'fediverse' are, like, two starter views.
Thesis: a good state for the fediverse is to have [[n]] socially curated timelines; that is, n timelines with open admission criteria/ranking algorithms maintained by the community.
@bmann @flancian @thor @SocialCoop @admin schelling.pt mostly feels like regular half-political vulnerable anonymous chaos twitter to me. - just with much lower bandwidth. @locus
darmstadt.social (which I follow via Fedilab) is basically this 1-2 open software nerds afaiu.
It would be so nice to have more filtering options btw. between local and global. Like "gimme these 5 instances put together, plus all follows".
This one was whoooa!
The author of this tweet is aware of the inherent irony. https://sashachapin.substack.com/p/on-highly-effective-psychedelic-bullshit
@thor Well, you need something to aspire to. Ask Jordan Peterson!

@element_hq I once got an abusive email, so they should immediately ban Gmail, Outlook and Protonmail.

@pareinoia for that guy it might be more like "take your meds".
Counterexamples:
- vim and end (very much not community efforts)
- firefox (but you can't really mess up a browser UI)
- atom
- I heard Eclipse is quite usable
- gimp and inkscape are awesome, but UI is behind Adobe.
- uhm... anything else??
