Top 3 TypeScript Social Networks and Forum Projects

  • Misskey

    🌎 An interplanetary microblogging platform 🚀

    Project mention: Now, you can embed Mastodon posts in Medium stories | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-04-17

    There is a lot of resistance to the idea. The browser UX for registering protocols is not particularly intuitive. The protocol should not be named after Mastodon because they are defensive of their trademark, and it wouldn't be accurate since the user identifier could be followed from any ActivityPub compatible software.

    If you look at the newer comments on the Mastodon github thread I posted you can see web+ap:// recommended, or apub://

    I think there just needs to be enough collective will to make this happen. Likely another project will need to take the lead because Mastodon team has decided the browser UX is too much of a barrier. Maybe glitch-soc can do a proof of concept.

  • Coral

    A better commenting experience from Vox Media (by coralproject)

    The Coral Project [0] (commenting platform used on Washington Post, New York Times, The Verge) uses an Apache 2.0 license [1]. Which doesn't seem to have prevented it from raking in big SaaS customers.

    A lot of people worry about copy-cat services, but it's kind of rare that someone will be able to compete with you as the original in hosting your own service as well as you can. Especially when you consider support and maintenance requirements of a new product you aren't personally developing.

    I could see copy-cat services being more of an issue in the late stage of a product though? When everyone knows lots about how to stand it up and use it?
