@BonfireBuilders I don’t know whether I should report #bugs here on on GitHub, nevertheless:

there is an overflow display problem in the text that appears when hovering on the attachment button.

@tommi thanks, that one's on the list! (we're currently creating issues for all known and reported issues)

@BonfireBuilders reporting the first issue I am encountering:

I cannot follow myself from other instances. I send the follow request, but on Bonfire the notification pane is empty and I have no place where to approve my follow request… what can I do?

Thanks!

hi @tommi 😊

that's expected as federation is disabled on the playground instance, see https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/meet_us_at_the_playground/#a-note-on-federation

Admin configurable I assume. A few seconds could be enough to prohibit boost spamming. (not by script though)

Some notification related bugs I encountered:

follow notification clears the home feed except for the "new follow" post
when composing a post reply and a notification comes in, the frontend refreshes and the "reply to" post is cleared. Can be reattached though, by clicking on the reply arrow once more. Posts field is kept open and post text is saved.

@oct Heh thanks! 😁 It takes some effort these days but I'm a great believer in progressive enhancement. I implemented a hack to make mutations (like posting) work without JS a while ago, but need to check up on it and possibly fix it. Adding to the list @BonfireBuilders

I'm just trying this platform, for fun.

Really nice to see that navigation (moving between timelines) works without JavaScript, but post writing doesn't. Is this last thing a bug? I don't believe it's intentional.

@fihu Oh thanks for the heads up! It definitely should be so that's a recently-introduced bug 😅 Adding it to the list.

Oh, and on the home feed there is no indication that this posts has an attached media - only when I open the post, it is shown. Preview only.

Media description is possible and shown when the media is opened (zoomed)

Multiple boosts can be a bit messy 🐛

(I did click the boost button multiple times, but got only 1 notification)

Screenshot of my bonfire home feed showing lots of boosts by me of my own post.

Yeah we thought it might be a cool feature, but probably worth having some configurable time limits between re-boosts? @BonfireBuilders

Today, the Bonfire team is excited to announce our beta release 🔥🎉

We're aware that Bonfire still needs a lot of work - like ensuring it federates as expected and improving configurability, accessibility and user experience - but that's the point: we decided to launch at this stage with the intention of building the 1.0 release as a community.

It's an exciting day when this icon represents not just a development environment but a real space with real people! 😁
