I’ve been trying a few packages, such as ZXing, some have worked better than others. I can get it to scan a barcode, but it doesn’t work reliably yet. I have a few more issues to iron out, but it will be possible

That’s what my tool is working towards! It uses OpenFoodFacts data. Right now you can manually type in the UPC codes to search

Could you share which link? They seem to be working for me.

I was having DNS issues when setting it up, which could be related

This is great! I might remove the blog section and focus on the search functionality, since there are a lot of these compilations/guides already.

It’s the first thing I want to improve. I didn’t have time to explore how to do that last night, but I’m planning to.

If someone else has experience there, I’d appreciate the help!

I’m also planning to set up a community on this instance project, if there is enough interest for it. I didn’t make the commuinity yet because I haven’t settled on a name. I mentioned those plans here:

Please share any ideas for what to call the tool / project!

Thank you for putting all this together!

Having a separate list for extensions would work nicely, although I think it fits to have the extensions listed here. There are few actual browser extensions for Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon. There are a lot of scripts, and we were working on incorporating the better scripts into the extension for the same reasons you mentioned above. Scripts are harder to manage and review

My thoughts on the questions.

1. “last stable version” sounds like a good way to sort it, for readers. It might become cumbersome for you to manage unless you can automate it somehow.
2. I’m leaning towards flagging or removing out of date apps because of potential security issues. Could you contact devs after a few months to ask if it is being maintained?
3. A big list of every app would be interesting for data. It isn’t helpful for users, so I agree with keeping them off
4. I have a donation link. I don’t think it should be included in guides or lists either
5. I like the formatting, as a reader. Consider if it becomes too cumbersome for you and your team to manage. I’d rather have a list that stays up to date and doesn’t cause headaches for the maintainer

I plan on experimenting with the suggestions posted here. That way I can narrow down where the problem is

The live website works on desktop and mobile. The offline folder works well on desktop, but it has issues on mobile, such as the search bar not working

That would work

I’ll check it out

Thank you, I’ll try those

This looks good, thank you!

I think it’s about IO interrupts?

I was chatting with a friend, and she mentioned how she tries to at least set up a README, which includes her vision for the project and her plan for the implementation, design, and goals.

Best case scenario is that the planning helps her complete the project herself. Worst case scenario, someone else can pick up where she left off and use her considerations for the project.

I’m thinking of doing that for future projects too

I might be able to set something up with the InstanceAssistant browser extension. It would be nice to have it in the main UI, but this could help temporarily.

I’ll send a PM :)

This is amazing, thank you for reaching out to the dev!

This was on the list of ideas for InstanceAssistant, but I didn’t know where to start. It is great news that it was added to the original extension.

That t-shirt would be cool, but don’t have time to properly test our extension before then

I’m looking forward to December when I’ll have time to work on it. I’ll try to attend some office hours, I didn’t know that was an option

Sorry for the delay

Yes it does search from the title/user, but I’m planning to switch to resolve_object in a future update: https://github.com/cynber/lemmy-instance-assistant/issues/52#issue-1934318266

Thanks!

I think the issue here is

they don’t show up under “posts” on your own profile

It makes sense to hide read posts on the main feed, but not when you’re looking at a particular user?
