🇺🇦Dyakuyu is Ukrainian for Thank You

🚞 From the train, a message of thanks to everyone who has supported me and, more importantly, my Ukrainian friends.

I am heading 🇺🇸 home, but my support is not. I will continue to advocate from the U.S., and ask you all to do same.

➡️ Every act of solidarity—donating, volunteering, or simply sending a message of encouragement—matters.

Thank you for standing with #Ukraine.🇺🇦

Slava Ukraini✨

🐾😻Today I visited my friends at Cats on Mars—a remarkable grassroots organization rescuing cats from the frontlines of #Ukraine.

🐈Since April 2022, their team has been a lifeline for displaced felines, providing medical care, vaccinations, and the love every animal deserves.

💛💙 Most importantly, they help these kitties find forever homes.

🌻 🐾 #Cats on Mars rely on #volunteers, donors, and everyday acts of solidarity.

In the name of solidarity, the volunteers of the Tokyo chapter of Food Not Bombs are cooking up meals, donating supplies and coalescing a community for those in need. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/community/2025/08/18/issues/food-not-bombs-tokyo-volunteers-homeless/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #community #issues #homeless #expats #volunteers #homelessness

As an open project, how does an idea become a feature?

Anyone can submit a request (Issue) for a feature in Codeberg. And anyone can work on the feature. There are many great requests which are waiting for the right developer to create positive impact.

Since the project started in April, here is what was done:

Issues created: ~1300
App developers who contributed: 29

The power of the community pulling together to create great things.
