Ben Pate 🤘🏻
@benpate@mastodon.social
Howdy! I'm the nerd who's building #Emissary - an ActivityPub server for building custom social applications on the Fediverse. My first app on this platform is a music sharing server for indie bands, called #Bandwagon. And now I'm also working on #Atlas, a social mapping server for adding Federated annotations to places in the real world. If you'd like to talk about any of my projects, feel free to DM me here, or on Signal (@benpate.5280) ⁂

Loops

Loops + FOSSY + FediCon = ❤️
We're giving a keynote at FOSSY/FediCon this year about Loops and all the amazing progress we've made in just one year.
One year ago Loops was not open source, federated or usable on the web.
Now the entire platform is open, running smoothly, and we keep shipping amazing features like Starter Kits, Playlists, Duets and Direct Messages + Group Chats.
