Here's v0.3.0 of ties, the federated bookmark manager, with a new light mode, flexible bookmark editing tools, and a critical security fix!
If you're using ties, please update at your earliest convenience. If you're not using it yet, now's a good time to try it out!
@raffomania I just installed it on my home server and had two small hurdles when setting it up:
1. I didn't get BASE_URL right on the first try. I was thrown off by the comment in the docker compose config and thought that it just needed to be the domain name. Adding an example can't hurt.
2. It seemed there is no proper way to set the admin password, but I'm now thinking that I could just run it with the plaintext only on the first run and remove it from the config later.
@raffomania But I guess my main question is: (how) does the federation work?
@jaror The federation is currently limited to publishing your bookmarks on other platforms. It's tested against mastodon and betula, but should be compatible with others.
I'm currently working on collaborative bookmarking across federated ties instances, and if everything goes well, it should ship in the next months.
@raffomania @jaror hows this going by the way?
@liaizon slow but steady progress. I recently merged an invite system that makes multi-user instances easy. Currently working on the ui for following other users from within ties. Next I’ll probably look into federating bookmarks between ties instances.
