The beauty of FOSS though is if someone wants it bad enough, they can implement it themselves.

For sure. I’ve personally contributed to C++ FOSS projects before. There are a few big hurdles between idea and implementation though.

Personally I don’t know enough about web development or the software stack involved in various fediverse projects to be of much help with implementation right now. So the only thing I can really do at this point in time is put the idea out there, whatever little that’s worth.
