Ah yes, you have reached the Loom. The hidden gateway into the threadiverse. One must strum the threads to the ballad of federation to find the hidden nymph, Lemmy. Guiding one towards the oasis of


okay im done. lol

I can't wait for federated instances to take over content consumption online

Hey there, I finally feel the application has reached a relatively stable state. So wanted to share the TF link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/owwIagmV and open source repo: https://github.com/neatia/Loom for more details! Still some quirks and bugs that need to be resolved, but lately I have been focused on a seamless content consumption.

Hey there, I finally feel the application has reached a stable state I pushed details and download for the macOS app in this open source repo: https://github.com/neatia/Loom . Feel free to let me know what you think!

Hoping to make another post sometime soon when all the base functionalities are implemented (Mod mode, etc)

It was essentially used as the main backing for the art behind NFTs. The URLs IPFS generates were stored in the smart contract. But, the technology behind IPFS, I feel, is way more important to discuss currently and before. It is essentially an open implementation of P2P practices like torrenting. Where files are stored on the network, unique, but content is shared between nodes. It's kinda like Lemmy for CDNs.

Ignoring the blockchain and NFT noise. I always feel like gamifying these concepts of "elevated status" eventually contributes to toxicity and gatekeeping. The beauty of reddit is randomly stumbling upon a person like Unilad or some expert in another field. Not visually seeing a status symbol indicating their expertise, but purely via the democratic system of anonymous voting.

Why don't people talk about IPFS more?

that's why I generally, just like keeping my blockchain news with EIPs/ERCs rather from anything/anyone else or at least merit based.

LOL, so out of place haha

Yeap. I wouldn't be surprised if this update/pivot is a reaction to this: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-6551

The hype tends to increase around "halvings", which forces scarcity onto BTC and therefore it's perceived market price. And since we are getting near one, they are probably trying to capitalize on an oncoming hype train.
