I need opinions on #Smithereen API.
For notifications, which format would you prefer more, this https://smithereen.software/docs/api/methods/notifications.get/ or something even more deduplicated with `wall_posts`, `comments`, `photos`, and `board_topics` as separate arrays? Or maybe something else?

So I made a list of remaining API methods that I need to implement. Probably an incomplete one. It turns out there are 105 of them. One hundred and five 🫠
With classes like ScriptValueGsonTypeAdapterFactory, it feels like I'm finally writing "proper" Java
I added support for displaying blurhashes as image placeholders in #Smithereen on the web. In what is probably the most cursed way possible. It turns out every browser supports the BMP file format, which is just a simple header followed by the raw pixel data. So, here's what I did:
#Smithereen 0.11 is out!
This one mostly focuses on groups and moderation. Groups now have discussion boards, admins can specify server rules (with translations!), moderators have more and better tools at their disposal, and users can now pin posts and export their data.

Now comes the part where I build the client API I promised everyone for so long. And the website.
Some recent #Smithereen updates:
- Finished discussion boards in groups
- Server rules (with translations)
- New reporting flow, almost like Mastodon's
- Moderators can now exclude content from reports
- ...as well as add extra content via the new "content" tab in user moderation UI
- Admins can now specify custom CSS for their server
- Admins can create announcements that display under the main menu for all users

After implementing partial support for Mastodon's FEP-044f quote post authorization in #Smithereen, I realized that this flow with sending a "*Request" activity and receiving a corresponding Accept{*Request} is nothing but an RPC mechanism.
So now Smithereen also uses TopicCreationRequest and TopicRenameRequest for discussion boards in groups, which are almost finished, btw.

#Smithereen 0.10 is out!
This release adds instant notifications, online statuses, friend lists, email notifications, account migration, and more. It's also the first version of Smithereen that isn't frustrating to install.
