Lots to love about #Codeberg right now.
#Zig moved to it. LibreWolf is using it. Many #Fediverse projects use it including the FEP process. #Fedora set up their own Forgejo instance (the underlying software for Codeberg).
Now #Gentoo is switching from GitHub to Codeberg!
I've migrated most of my projects there as well.
Every one of these stories is a win for #OpenSource and a middle finger to #Microslop, which is a win-win all around. 😊
@jaredwhite I love the idea of Codeberg. I wish #Lovable would allow for syncing to that.
The #djinn story so far: I made a #lovable account and started prompting. I had a roughly working thread selection screen (the heart of what I miss about nn) within about four prompts, which burned about half of my daily free credits.
Fixing little bugs consumed the rest, but I was pretty bored of prompting by then, so I had gpt5 come up with a single prompt encapsulating what an nn-like mastodon web reader could look like.
It did a reasonable (if giant) job, so I threw that at a new #lovable project and then spent a while clicking the moral equivalent of "next" or "approve", and then a much longer while copying and pasting a progression of auth and DB errors back into the chat.
Lots of back-and-forth later, it's pulling some data and partially rendering but still broken in a variety of ways. Guessing that it has done some imperfect refactors along the way.
Bored of this at this point, going to try something else. Overall burned about 40 credits, I think, to get this point, which is about a week's worth of free credits.
...though in fairness to #lovable, I tried asking it to make a tetrissweeper clone for me and it did a solid job in one prompt, with a second prompt for a bugfix.
I have been idly pining for nn for years (about 30 or so), but not enough to actually, you know, write it. But now I have sufficiently high expectations of both mastodon and vibe-coding to be willing to try it. Block #djinn if you don't want to read anything else I post about it. Also, I don't promise to post anything else about it :P

Who is Anton Vincent Fredrik Palfi Osika? 🇸🇪
Short excerpts:
"Anton Vincent Fredrik Palfi Osika, born on August 10, 1990, is a Swedish AI entrepreneur with a profound impact on the tech industry. His journey into the world of technology began early, driven by a childhood fascination with how things work, often leading him to dismantle gadgets. Inspired by films like "The Matrix," he started learning to code at the age of 12, teaching himself by reading books from the library and creating computer games.
He is highly influential, ranking as the #1 LinkedIn influencer in Sweden within the IT & Tech category and among the top 1% globally in Computer Engineering.
In late 2023, Anton Osika embarked on his most ambitious venture yet: Lovable. This AI software platform aims to democratize software creation by allowing individuals, even those without coding knowledge, to build functional applications using natural language. Lovable originated as a side project, initially an open-source tool called GPT Engineer, which Osika developed over a few weekends after the release of ChatGPT.
Under his leadership, Lovable has experienced meteoric growth, achieving unicorn status (valued at up to $2 billion) within months of its launch."
