@matigo enjoy!
@variablepulserate Over the next few months, if the experiment proves viable, I’ll open it up to more people. There’s a lot of work to be done…
@jws Agree! It’s a use case I hadn’t considered that my friend thought of. I’m kind of hoping to use this for some other experiments in indie web publishing.
@matigo I have unlimited SMS/MMS through my carrier, so that shouldn't be a problem. I also don't anticipate using it heavily. I really just wanted to build something where I could post my photos easily without having to interact with a social network; and I'm using it to experiment with some ideas around RSS.
Also, I really needed something fun to build. This has been recapturing some of the joy in building things that I haven't had in years.
@matigo Twilio posts the messages to a webhook on the server, I validate that it's from a registered user, then turn it into a post and store it in the DB.
I made an quite hacky first pass of a thing I've been wanting for a while: https://nomad.wntrmute.net/
It was fun to build, and MMS publishing has been near and dear to me since I was in Africa seven years ago (has it already been that long!!??) There's a ton of work to do to make it even remotely tenable, but it's a good side project.
@matigo Not too bad. Started a new job at the end of February, things are pretty good. How are you?
@matigo Yeah, but I had enough (Picardin-based) bug spray so I didn't get bit too badly…
