Looks like we picked up a modest amount of new followers (thanks, @queerplatonic-msr).
To answer your question – as the post is now restricted, for commenting –, things are still moving, albeit at somewhat of a pause (right now).
The whole family caught COVID, back in August (which our bodies did not take well, this round; gentle reminder to keep yourselves and others safe and keep masking), and I was let go from my job, after that.
As you might imagine, most of my time and energy is focused on trying to reemploy myself, at the moment; so a bit of a lull in development.
But I have every intention to continue working on Swanye, once I have a guarantee of income.
For newcomers, I lay out – at a high level – what I want Swanye to be and what I want it to do here: https://www.tumblr.com/swanye-fediverse/690187019453890560/what-this-project-is-all-about.
While that can be useful, – for some people – that format can be hard to get excited about so here're images of all the stuff that's been developed, so far:
Alright…; well, I was going to but Tumblr won't let me put any more than one video in this post so I'm afraid this is all I can show, here. But you can take a look at the original posts I uploaded, when I had been developing the feature, at the bottom half of this post: https://www.tumblr.com/swanye-fediverse/701303664961323008/swanye-fediverse-with-people-from-twitter-heading. I go into a little more detail in them and there are video descriptions, as well.
And I try to tag posts which talk about ideas I have regarding Swanye (that aren't development related), when I remember, with Swanye Meta.
In case Tumblr ever does actually go down, I have an account on Mastodon at https://fosstodon.org/@Swanye.
I have a lot of excitement about the social media, currently, that's being built and tries to circumvent or avoid Capitalism and Corporations; people want alternatives and we have a real opportunity to supplant the status quo – at the very least, in this niche – with something better.
