    Building ActivityDesk

    I really like making software! Specifically stuff that people can directly use to interact with other people. It made sense that I'd aim to revisit the work I had around a social streaming client. I've called it ActivityDesk. The goals for the initial version are as follows:

    • seamless authentication to networks like Mastodon, Pleroma and PixelFed
    • multi-account support
    • full MicroPub and posted 2019-05-21T19:39:50.54485-07:00

    Kind of janky but for a native UI built declaratively, it’s pretty simple. Testing posting to my local instance of #koype as well from #activitydesk.

    As I work more on #activitydesk, I’m learning a lot more about the inner plumbings of security and the Web - mainly around user credentials. It’s starting to make a lot more sense how people get their creds snatched. Section 8.12 of OAuth 2.0 for Native Apps strongly discourages developers from using “embedded Web agents” (Web views within your applications) due to a user’s inability...

    Making really good progress with #activitydesk. Accounts are stored securely (for Linux systems) and there’s an abstraction so it can switch depending on what environment it’s built for. Next thing is going to be presenting those accounts and setting up the system to listen to said streams from accounts.

    Okay. I’ll need some wisdom from the #flatpak to help me package #activitydesk for Linux. Installation instructions are cool but flatpak install flathub af.black.activitydesk is way better.

    It’s hacky but it’s my desktop client for social networking! I can write posts and get timely updates when new posts come in. Only supporting Mastodon right now; working on the code for Microsub and Micropub shortly so I can get my notifications and handle my whole social experience from my native desktop.

    Looking for live-reload options for QML as I work on #activitydesk and I came across the following:

    • QML Livereload
    • Terrarium

    I like what QML Livereload does so I’m going to opt to use it.

    Everytime I make a bit of progress with #ActivityDesk, something finds a way to fuck it up for me, lol.

    Native menu saves space on the screen!
