Incise

Incise now supports Activity Intents (as described in FEP-3b86, https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/3b86/fep-3b86.md)

These are displayed in the UI as well for users from remote servers on the individual posts where actions for logged in users would be typically shown.

Pardon the improper layout on mobile

I've been working all day today improving, fixing, and enhancing the comments system in Incise.

- Comments are now correctly listed for #ActivityPub fetches
- Comments are now likable from the web UI as well as through #ActivityPub
- Comment replies are now #federated as well
- Comments by remote actors (eg. Mastodon users) liked by Incise users are now #federated

An example of the last point, this comment by @Viditb@mastodon.social on @dezinezync's post: @Viditb@mastodon.social

@julian@fietkau.social Appreciate the shout-out, Julian 🫶🏽

Me links for verification/attestation is now available under profile settings.

Avatars have also been migrated to the new storage. Here's an example of me links verification for Mastodon

@csilverman@mastodon.social 100% agree! With JSON feed support, it’s super easy to integrate into your web pages.

I've deployed additional improvements to the interface, and also enabled the "Work Inquiry” button on profiles for authenticated and normal sessions.

Clicking on the button directly opens the email interface on your system, no web forms to meddle with.

You can control this from your profile settings.

I've had the redesigned layout for comments ready to go for a while now, but never got down to actually implementing it until today! This is now live 🤘🏼

I've deployed some browser specific CSS tweaks which should fix the buttons face issue in Firefox.

I've also removed the CDN dependency on CloudFront, and the site now uses CloudFront to handle caching and acceleration as needed.

An error on my part caused incorrect alt descriptions (post title) to be included for image attachments for ActivityPub feeds. This has been fixed.

Boosts (Announce activity) are now handled as expected and boost counts are displayed under posts and on the post detail page as well.

If you face errors during signup related to WebAuth or Passkeys,
The following workaround works:

when you’re prompted to setup the passkey, click on change, then click on iPhone, iPad or Android device, and continue with your iPhone/Android device instead.

Over the weekend, I've finished a long due migration for images on Incise.

Incise now no longer depends on external proxies for smaller sized images. These are generated in browser, and uploaded during the post process.

I'll be validating live federation shortly. There are some QoL changes in here as well and the post type (Branding, Mobile, Desktop, Illustration, etc...) filtering is also enabled now.
