#holos

I moved the #HolosSocial projects (app, relay and discover, to stay consistent) to my own git at https://git.holos.social/tom79 As a reminder about this choice: I used an AI to write part of the #Holos docs, and also to review and help me fix some code I had written. At first I didn't feel concerned by the debate (no vibe coding on my side), but it went further than that. Out of respect for everyone using my work, transparency and action were needed. #Fedilab isn't affected and stays on #Codeberg.

HELLO! Here's my #introduction: My name is Matt and I've been a part of the #fediverse since 2018. I don't do #bigtech, so all my profiles are spread across #holos (my main), #pixelfed, and #lemmy. Senior #fullstackdeveloper who's pivoting into #devops, Building an #indieweb/#smallweb blog. I'm into a lot of different topics, was previously majoring in #sociology with a focus on #socialjustice. #ally, #antifascist, #acab, #freepalestine, #privacy, #digitalsoveriegnty, #linux, #foss

#Holos 1.11.0 is available. You can now view and change your email and password from a new account screen in settings. The app also compacts its database automatically in the background to reclaim space and keep things fast, and a notification lets you know when it runs. A new Compact Database button in the cleanup settings lets you run it on demand. It also brings several fixes. Release notes: https://codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/releases/tag/1.11.0 #HolosSocial

A new version of #Holos has been released (1.5.5). It introduces support for "web+ap://" links (fedilinks), so profiles and posts can now be opened directly in Holos. The sync experience is also smoother with less UI freezing, and post deletion is more reliable: posts are kept locally until all remote instances confirm removal, with automatic retry on failure. Release notes: https://codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/releases/tag/1.5.5 #HolosSocial

#Holos 1.5.4 is available. Activity delivery now goes through the relay proxy, which fixes boost and like failures on #iOS. Sync performance is also improved. It also brings several fixes: images disappearing after posting, the iOS "No valid public key" error during setup, and the custom relay tunnel URL being ignored. https://codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/releases/tag/1.5.4 #HolosSocial

Good read for those interested in #Holos 🖤 @apps@toot.fedilab.app https://toot.fedilab.app/@apps/116484366224732153

#Holos 1.5.2 is available. New: follow requests screen for locked accounts, delivery error details in pending actions. It also brings several fixes, full release notes at https://codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/releases/tag/1.5.2 Available on #FDroid, #AltStore, and soon on TestFlight. #HolosSocial

On #Holos, the user decides where media lives. Cached on the relay (10 MB cap), or pushed to a personal S3, WebDAV. Signed URLs for private buckets, direct URLs for public ones. Video compression configurable on the device before upload. Backups and media can share storage or be separated. The architecture makes it possible: there is no instance admin to ask, and the relay holds no media beyond a temporary cache. The choice belongs to the user. #HolosSocial

Okay, totally enjoying #Holos right now. Love the concept. Can’t wait to see how the project grows.

The next #Holos release will support reactions. Long press the like button to pick one. It will be compatible with other software that supports reactions like Pleroma, Akkoma, Misskey, Sharkey, and Firefish. Can be disabled in settings. #HolosSocial

In #Holos, timeline media has dedicated views, enabled with a single tap: one for images, one for vertical videos (TikTok style, swipe) and one for horizontal videos. What is still missing is a filter on media size. No one using these views wants to see a GIF (MP4) or a low-resolution meme. Reducing that noise will make the experience much better. This will be fixed. #HolosSocial

#Holos 1.3.0 is available on #FDroid and #AltStore What's new: Quote posts from other Fediverse clients are now supported. Several fixes on timelines, notifications, tunnel stability, and compose screen. https://codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/releases/tag/1.3.0 #HolosSocial For AltStore: https://files.fedilab.app/altstore/altstore.json

#Holos is now available via #AltStore for #iOS users. AltStore source: https://files.fedilab.app/altstore/altstore.json Learn more about Holos: https://holos.social/how-it-works #HolosSocial

#Holos 1.2.0 is available What's new: Markdown preview in the compose screen, import followings from a Mastodon CSV file, separate S3/WebDAV storage for media and backups. Several fixes app/relay. More https://codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/releases/tag/1.2.0 Small bonus for #iOS users, it's available on TestFlight. #HolosSocial

Tomorrow, #Holos is moving to a more powerful server. One issue identified was inactive users accumulating a large number of pending activities on the relay. The relay now detects inactive users (no connection for more than 14 days) and reduces home timeline retention to 4 hours, while all notifications (follow, mentions, DMs, etc.) are kept at their normal retention period. #HolosSocial

#Holos 1.0.0-rc-3 has been published. This release now integrates #HolosDiscover for searches and to display trending. You can also block domains and sync remote blocking lists of domains. You can also import your list of blocked accounts. Account deletion is now possible through the app. More about this release: https://codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/releases/tag/1.0.0-rc-3 Download: https://framadrive.org/s/b68BB42Rf5ogW8o #HolosSocial
