WebIntents - Universal Follow Button for the Fediverse
-
I was excited about this. Went on to look at the website and was greeted with a "Coming Soon!" message. It all made sense when I saw it was yet-another project from Daniel "Overpromise and Underdeliver" Supernault.

Not to be confused with the original Web Intents.

Thank you. Something stirred in the back of my mind when I read the title. Would have jumped down the rabbit hole if not for this comment 🙂

I had to laugh at this little bit of irony

If only there was a way that link could open their profile on the instance my account is on!

He likes the process of working on greenfield ideas and gets bored once he ships the MVP, which is fine. What is not fine is that he makes a ton of hype around new projects, but after he gets tired of playing with it, he refuses to let go. It sucks the air out of the community for very little benefit.
I was hoping that the PixelFed kickstarter would force him to finally focus on the damn thing, but it seems he simply does not have the drive or interest to work at a steady pace in one single product.

Senior Laravel/PHP Dev here. I'm really tempted to fork Pixelfed and loops. I've interacted with him on and off for nearly 8 years, and I just wish he'd make decisions where he would FULLY complete feature development initiatives... instead, he squirrels off towards a new shiny object.

There is a FEP for this - https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/3b86/fep-3b86.md it's not something dansup came up with originally. We'll see how close Pixelfed adheres to it.
PieFed has implemented basic support for that FEP since August 2025 and I just added more today.

Good on you Rimu. If NodeBB implements Activity Intents it'll be because of you.
