Comment on Continuwuity

  Everything there (aside from perhaps not printing the full URL under the QR code) is deliberate and a part of the ‘brand’. Roboto + Sour Gummy for the fonts, asymmetry, whimsy. If you don’t like it, I’m sure you can use Element’s Synapse and you’ll be able to talk to people using Continuwuity just fine. That’s kind of the point.

    Also fonts.google.com/specimen/Sour+Gummy?preview.scri… is way better than comic sans, you can’t convince me otherwise

      Haha this is right in the middle of the spectrum between Comic Sans and Simpsons.

  the only valid complain is “no human readable data next to the QR code”

    Eh, the gradients hold some weight too for me, lol

  use of UwU in something I absolutely need to share with others

  It’s purely a backend, what’s under the hood is not really visible to matrix clients.

  Edit: Though I wish this graphic communicated that more, just realized it doesn’t even say anything about [matrix].

  Those who would be off put by the UwU are not those I wish to talk to :3

  UwU. The cuteness is a huge plus IMO.

    The problem is “cuteness” is very much in the eye of the beholder for things like this, and I’m with neatchee here, it’s not cute, and it makes it basically unshareable, and hence unusable in a lot of contexts. I appreciate the effort that’s gone into the project, but the name and publicity massively detract from that.

      You don’t need to share any server technology names, just that it’s the Matrix protocol or “platform”, or even just “Element” if they are using that app. I don’t tell other matrix users they are on a Synapse server.

      Only the host needs to know about the server app name, and is the only one who interacts with it directly.

      Considering that it’s a fork of conduwuit, continuwuity is a pretty fitting name, UwU 😺

• SqueakyBeaver@piefed.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  The project is the “official community continuation of the conduwuit homeserver”. Conduwuit was a popular matrix backend until the project was archived.

  Although interestingly, conduwuit says the official continuation is Tuwunel. interesting

    Maybe this one should be named altuwunative.

    It is primarily sponsored by the government of Switzerland 🇨🇭 where it is currently deployed for citizens.

    Now this, I like!

    Github, not so much

    • JadedBlueEyes@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      That is slightly misleading, they are/were sponsored by epost.ch / Swiss Post AG, which is a limited company.

    I’ve been using Tuwunnel since Conduwuit ceased developpment and I haven’t been able to find a reason to switch to Continuwuity yet.

  I like it. It’s nostalgic, in a 90s sort of way 😂
