    Polls are rendering!screenshot of the latest emoji poll rendered on the ktistec serverI'm working to get all of the little visual elements available across the Fediverse to render in a usable way on Ktistec. When released, users will also be able to vote on polls.#ktistec #activitypub #fediverse

    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.

    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

    centralization always leads to the same destination. that’s why I built #ktistec and why it only supports one user**okay, soon to support a small number of users, but the point still stands
