    The big feature in release v3.2.2 of Ktistec is pinned posts with support for the Mastodon Featured Posts collection. Federation works both ways—pin a post on Ktistec and it will show up as a pinned post on Mastodon and vice versa. When you refresh an actor profile, Ktistec also fetches and updates the actor's pinned posts. This is another small step in the direction of supporting all features that Mastodon-compatible client applications expect to access via the API. It's also useful in its own right. The other major feature, which I posted a short video demonstrating here, is X-Ray Mode. X-Ray Mode is a developer and power-user tool for inspecting ActivityPub JSON-LD representations of actors, objects, and other content. Pressing Ctrl+Shift+X on any page displays the data behind the page—like an x-ray. You can:Cached Version: View the local JSON-LD representation stored in the Ktistec databaseRemote Version: Fetch and view the original JSON-LD representation from the source serverNavigation: Click on any ActivityPub IRI to navigate to that objectHistory: Use Alt+Left and Alt+Right to navigate through your viewing historyThis feature is useful for debugging federation issues, understanding ActivityPub structures, and verifying how content is stored and represented.Here's the full changelog for the release:AddedSupport for pinned posts and the Mastodon "featured posts" collection.X-Ray Mode for viewing and navigating JSON-LD resource (actor, object, etc.) representations.Back links on thread pages for easier navigation. (fixes #1)License page for LibreJS compliance. (fixes #127)Highlighting of recently fetched hashtagged posts.ChangedImproved presentation of audio and video media.Refactored theming/styling implementation.The next release will focus on smaller features and bug fixes.Enjoy!#ktistec #crystallang #activitypub #fediverse

    Vacations are wonderful. It is a privilege to be able to travel without worry. It's also wonderful to be home, and to have the time to work on projects I care about. With those thoughts in mind, I present release v3.1.1 of Ktistec, an ActivityPub server written in the Crystal programming language!This release is a mixed bag of small features and improvements:AddedAuto-link URLs in posts. (fixes #24)Support searching by actor username. (fixes #102)Support hourly granularity in metrics charts.FixedMark actor as down if refresh fails.Remove draft posts from the everything collection.Ignore charts with no points in the date range.Ensure HTTP::Client instances are closed.I added support for multiple users at the beginning of the month. I'm very interested in feedback on how that's working out for anyone using it.#ktistec #fediverse #activitypub #crystallang

    Experimental support for multiple users landed with Ktistec release v2.4.15. "Experimental" means that it works for me, but hasn't seen enough testing for me to call it "ready for production". With that said, it's unlikely you'll lose your data.There are lots of intentional design decisions that fit my vision for Ktistec but may surprise you. Here they are:Every user is an administrator. That doesn't mean users have access to each other's posts and data, but it does mean all users have access to the shared parts of the site—they can change the site description, for example—and they can add new users. So only add people you trust.If you want to add another user, create an account for them and give them their username and password.  There is no self-registration. There are no invitations.Beyond adding a user, there is no support for user management. You can't even boot a user from your site. Users can delete themselves, however.There is no support for content moderation. Only add people you trust.TL;DR Multi-user support in Ktistec is suitable for small teams, families (biological or chosen), and your personal avatars. There are better tools for online communities.Here's the full set of changes:AddedAdd support for multiple user accounts.FixedHide attachments behind the summary. (fixes #125)Mark actors as up after refreshing their profile.#ktistec #fediverse #activitypub #crystallang

    Release v2.4.14 of Ktistec is small in terms of features and fixes, but it improves in two areas where I thought Ktistec was weak: light/dark mode support and autosave.I'm not hardcore dark mode, but I do prefer it in some cases. Ktistec selects light or dark mode based on the browser or system setting—there is currently no means to select the mode directly. A nice side effect of light/dark mode support is that custom theming support comes nearly for free.Figure 1: Ktistec editor showing the Dracula themeKtistec was meant for writing. I post my fair share of one-line bits of wisdom, but I started building Ktistec because I wanted a space to write long form, and existing Fediverse platforms were more for social interaction. When writing long form, autosaving is an essential feature. Ktistec will now autosave draft posts and replies. If you navigate away before publishing, you can always find the incomplete draft in the Drafts collection which is accessible from your timeline page.AddedAdd design system page for previewing UI elements.Support custom themes with automatic light/dark mode switching.Add autosave functionality for new posts, draft posts, and replies.ChangedAdd external link indicators.#ktistec #fediverse #activitypub #crystallang
