Just a quick note to recognize that the first lines of PieFed code were published on the 28th July 2023, just over a year ago. Since then there have been 1400+ changes made by 9 people, involving adding 88,000 lines of code and removing 28,000 lines. The issue queue has 98 open and 99 closed issues.

While join.piefed.social went live in October 2023, it wasn't until time off work over the christmas holidays enabled a big push to get it ready that piefed.social went live on 4th January 2024.

Since then piefed.social has federated 190k posts, 2.3M comments and 19M votes with 1900 other instances of various types. Besides piefed.social there are 5 other PieFed instances that I know of.

What a year it's been! I've grown significantly as a developer, had a lot of fun and hopefully contributed something meaningful to whatever the fediverse is becoming. Long may it continue!

Thank you!

Yeah the lack of mobile app is a sticking point for a lot of people. PieFed is set up to operate as a PWA - try opening the site in Chrome and then looking for the "install as app" option.

Oh weird, I know where that option usually shows up for me (running Vanadium browser on GrapheneOS), but it doesn't seem to be there for Piefed?

EDIT: Nevermind, sorry! I think they combined the "add shortcut" and "install app" buttons in Vanadium, got it set up now.
