Nooiiceeee!!! Native push notifications for #snac2 on iPhone seems to work

@gyptazy made this in https://gyptazy.com/blog/snac2-native-push-notification-support/

Run #snac!

I’m writing my own #mastodon iOS client (also trying to support #gotosocial and #snac2).

It’s a mess. Trying to autodetect formatting is not easy and I’m basically just supporting subsets of a bunch of tags (or markdown) and then rendering it into a html… into attributedstring types in swift. It’s all annoying.

I've been on the fence about hosting my own #fediverse account for a while now, mainly because of the insane hardware requirements.

I've considered pleroma/akkoma for a while, but i don't know the first thing about elixir and their docs are not the most clear. I've been really tempted by #GoToSocial, but #snac's easy install & general simplicity made me take the plunge.

Two things you can see here... It's pretty hot! That's why I stayed home and implemented a missing feature into snac. That's what you can also see - it finally sends push notifications to devices! In this case, we can see notifications coming from #MastoBlaster App for iPhone.

What we can also see, it's still a bit faulty and not the expected content, but a first success here at least ;) I'll make some further adjustments when there's time and get in touch with @grunfink@comam.es to check if we can get this upstream. Thanks to @stefano@bsd.cafe for testing with me :)

snac2 sending push notifications to a user via MastoBlaster App on iPhone

Maybe Snac server instead ??

Probably means I should spin up a VM and give #snac2 a tire-kick from the admin side

If costs for the hosting of #snac2 are substantially less than for #Mastodon, I'm very much for the cheaper alternative.

I ran my own single-user #GoToSocial instance, and I was surprised at how disk-intensive it could be -- the database and filesystem were a lot larger than I was comfortable with.

I've been playing around with #snac2 as a user for the past few months. There are some rough edges on the web interface, though they pretty much melt away with client software. I'd like the ability to reply to my own posts from my user page, for instance. I do like the lack of Javascript, which does make it less smooth at times.

For a Fediverse user on the web, #Mastodon does offer a lot of conveniences (unless you're the one installing and running it).

So I'm using some Mastodon, some snac2.

snac is rather awesome software. It's lightweight, exceedingly fast and just works.

Thanks @grunfink@comam.es (and other contributors to the project).

I'm running snac/2.92-dev.

I notice that in the notifications page that the 'clear all' button does not function. Is anyone else having this issue?
