LET YOUR COMMUNITY SPREAD ITS WINGS.
sensen: This looks neat, but should I be concerned about the permissions this is requesting for my account? Bluesky: Manage your profile, posts, likes and follows
imiric: Interesting project, but...> BUILT ON OPEN STANDARDS. PRIVATE WHEN NEEDED.> Running a private group chat? As soon as the AT protocol supports private data, we'll work on implementing it and giving you the option to create private communities.Not exactly "private when needed" then, is it? It's disingenuous to even mention this in the marketing copy.
avtar: Please consider adding screenshots of the UI that provide an idea of what the experience will be like, before having to log in using Bluesky or other credentials.
isodev: “Your data isn’t trapped on our servers” - where is it then? Who can access it?“Open social” is so much bs compressed in a couple of buzzwords.
louisescher: Hi! We're doing that to allow you to update your profile from within the app. Not doing anything else besides that. If you have concerns, take a look at the source code: https://github.com/colibri-social/colibri.social
czbond: Very interesting project.From a product uptake perspective, I could suggest that since a user is still building trust when they begin use - to only require as few permissions as needed. I'd punt that profile update requirement out personally for another method later.An example might be when a user has used your app for N sessions, or after N months.
iamnothere: [delayed]
tjuene: > where is it then?it might be on https://bsky.social, https://npmx.dev/pds or sitting next to your router in your living room in the form of a raspberry pi (https://atproto.com/guides/self-hosting)
jonashus: Where is data stored? Bluesky? My PDS? Your PDS, for free?
isodev: But that’s not where you want your chats now is it? E2EE? And how does it keep it all private since apparently the Bluesky bros haven't figured that part out?
louisescher: Done! Thanks for the suggestion, that's a good idea.
avtar: Thanks for the quick fix :) Nice to see more Discord alternatives these days.A few other landing page issues if you feel like addressing them:- Attempting to navigate with the Tab key results in tab order following nav elements once, where focus indicators aren't visible, and then the same elements get iterated over again but this time focus indicators are visible.- Tab order doesn't include screenshots and jumps to the FAQ- Clicking a thumbnail shows the larger image but without any elements for closing the overlay- Pressing Esc doesn't close the overlay- No skip links on any of the pages
louisescher: Hi, I've just added an FAQ entry about this: https://colibri.social/faq#where-is-my-data-storedAlso, feel free to DM me (@colibri.social) on Bluesky if you want to migrate to the Colibri PDS! We do host one ourselves.
the_axiom: Only my own messages are in my PDS? Or the entire chat?How is the chat displayed if messages are scattered among multiple PDSes?What about the community metadata, where is it stored?
louisescher: Hi, person behind the project here, thanks for the cross-post!
em-bee: where can those of us who are not on bluesky get an invite code for an account?
