Prototype for new Kbin app: Interstellar (media.kbin.social)

I've been working for the past week on a new kbin app. At the moment, it's just a prototype and only the "Feed" view has content (you can't sign into an account or post anything yet); you can see threads, thread images, thread comments, thread links, and thread votes/boosts. You can also change the "Theme Mode" and "Instance Host" in the settings.

Here's a link to the source code (contributions welcome for those that know flutter): github.com/jwr1/interstellar.
For testers, here's the link to the latest working build: github.com/jwr1/interstellar/releases (AppImage and APK).

Feel free to post any bugs or suggestions in the comments, on GitHub, or on the Interstellar magazine.

Again, this is just a prototype. If someone else is working on a better kbin app, I might just use that instead.

Not my startpage, but I thought it looked interesting:

GitHub: https://github.com/gethomepage/homepage
Website: https://gethomepage.dev

A modern, fully static, fast, secure fully proxied, highly customizable application dashboard with integrations for over 100 services and translations into multiple languages. Easily configured via YAML files or through docker label discovery.

https://gethomepage.dev/v0.7.3/assets/homepage_demo.png

With features like quick search, bookmarks, weather support, a wide range of integrations and widgets, an elegant and modern design, and a focus on performance, Homepage is your ideal start to the day and a handy companion throughout it.

Fast - The site is statically generated at build time for instant load times.
Secure - All API requests to backend services are proxied, keeping your API keys hidden. Constantly reviewed for security by the community.
For Everyone - Images built for AMD64, ARM64, ARMv7, and ARMv6.
Full i18n - Support for over 40 languages.
Service & Web Bookmarks - Add custom links to the homepage.
Docker Integration - Container status and stats. Automatic service discovery via labels.
Service Integration - Over 100 service integrations, including popular starr and self-hosted apps.
Information & Utility Widgets - Weather, time, date, search, and more.
And much more...

Do you use a self hosting solution? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I use Cosmos Cloud because it makes managing my containers and hosting them a lot easier. It includes a reverse proxy (with anti ddos and anti bot), an OIDC server, a container manager (lets you import docker composes too), easy container deploy through app store, multiple users, and more. It's also supposed to come out with a few features that let you connect through a VPN (so your services are not directly exposed) and set up cgnat bypass / hide your ip.

Repost or Archive all r/startpages posts in c/startpages@kbin.social

I completely agree. It's not up to me (@NotSteve_), but I would be fine with unprivating the old subreddit and making it read-only. I felt the same way when we first migrated, so I at least archived the top 20 or so posts (https://kbin.social/m/startpages/t/12385), but obviously that's not nearly anywhere close to the number of posts on the subreddit.

Can someone repost how to set a custom new tab page in Firefox? in c/startpages@kbin.social

[–] jwr1@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I've never actually tried to do this, so I don't know. The original support forum was from 4 years ago, so maybe it doesn't work for newer versions?

I know I'm late, but here's the original post:

I was able to do this without an extension in Firefox. I followed the instructions here.

These are the steps I took:

Open the Firefox installation folder. For me, this was "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox"

Under this folder, open the "defaults\pref" folder. If not present, make those two folders.

Create a file called "autoconfig.js" inside the "defaults\prefs" folder, and put the following in it. This lets us run our own Javascript to configure the browser. The comment line at the top is required.
//
pref("general.config.filename", "autoconfig.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false);

Go back to the Firefox program folder ..\..

Create a file named "autoconfig.cfg"

Put the following in the file, replacing the value of newTabURL with the path to your startpage. This is 5 lines.
// first line is a comment
var {classes:Cc,interfaces:Ci,utils:Cu} = Components;
var newTabURL = "file:///PATH_TO_YOUR_START_PAGE.html";
aboutNewTabService = Cc["@mozilla.org/browser/aboutnewtab-service;1"].getService(Ci.nsIAboutNewTabService);
aboutNewTabService.newTabURL = newTabURL;

Profit.

There is a drop in monthly active Lemmy users (from 65k to 57k) in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml

Kbin doesn't have an api yet, so apps aren't supported (there are some in the works though for when the api goes public). In the meantime, you can install the pwa through a browser.
