Industrial #chemist specializing in #dyes, #pigments, #polymers, and process development. I'm in the #epaper biz; if you have an #ereader device, chances are I've worked on the technology in the screen. Personal account; all views my own.

Outside of work, my hobbies include: #lacemaking, #crochet, #writing (#fiction), #reading (everything), #herbalism, #music (I'm a classical #percussionist), learning #languages, being a doting auntie, and learning to code.

@piccolbo@toot.community Not an app, but just via the web. Drafts works via "actions" that work through service APIs. For Mastodon, one specifies the instance URL and one's username in the script, and then the first time one mounts the action, it authorizes in the same way that any Mastodon app authorizes. Drafts then stores the given credentials and sends content to the same account whenever the action is run.

@piccolbo@toot.community @chipchirp@ioc.exchange @pixelpusher220@universeodon.com @bossandnova@sfba.social @Jakeout@mastodon.social Drafts, which is only available for Apple operating systems. I am unsure if there is an Android equivalent.

@chipchirp@ioc.exchange @pixelpusher220@universeodon.com @bossandnova@sfba.social @piccolbo@toot.community @Jakeout@mastodon.social This is why I started using an app that takes text and markdown input and then pushes it out to whatever services I designate, including my own local archive. It doesn't handle comment threads, but it saves me a record of any content that originates with me.

@IceCubesApp@mastodon.online I tried out Ice Cubes on a lark right when it came out, and I haven’t left. Such a great app. Thanks for all your hard work!

@m0xee@social.librem.one @Homebrewandhacking@mastodon.ie @folkerschamel@mastodon.social @seth@s3th.me @feditips@mstdn.social If it were me trying to take over a large server and monetize it, the first thing I would do is disable the functionality that lets users download their follows/followers/content, and make it impossible to "migrate" an account. Make the cost of leaving too high to justify, then you have a walled garden from which you can harvest subscription fees and ad revenue.
