🎉 Thrilled to unveil our revamped Bonfire website! 🌐 Among other things, we've showcased the features of our upcoming 1.0 release and listed the inspiring case studies we're developing. Customizable, Extensible, Federated. Welcome to the autonomous digital spaces of the future 🔥 bonfirenetworks.org/
I'm interested in the project but it looks like your site and all the documentation is fixed in a very dark theme that's impossible to read for some of us.
Someone boosted this, and it was the first time I heard about Bonfire. The site looks really great. Great tagline: customisable, etc. What more to wish for.
But I had hard time finding out what it can do for me. Is it microblogging? Think so, but it is not made explicit.
I jumped over the FAQ, but the question about how bonfire compares to other apps like has a large table but no row for Bonfire itself. I guess it is assumed to be known. And this is just an example of what I ran into
@bringolo thanks for the feedback! We added the features list in the homepage to give a glimpse on how bonfire can be used, but more solid examples may be needed! you can head over bonfirenetworks.org/case_studi… to read about how some communities plan to use bonfire eventually ? good suggestion about adding the bonfire row in the comparison list
We're now days away from the beta release of Bonfire, a federated app toolkit. When beta users get their hands on it, however, they might be confused wait, this looks like just another microblogging app! haven't we already got enough of those?
Is it possible to use bonfire for a subset of its features? For example if the community I focus on would only use something to organize and list events, can I disable most of the other functionality. Or is it meant as a more holistic, all features work in tandem, platform.
yes being able to finetune your instance according to your needs is exactly the goal!
From settings -> extensions you can (both as an instance admin or an individual user) enable or disable extensions to customise the instance features 🔥
Looks good visually, but having never heard of bonfire, I have no idea what it is. Looking at the website doesn't tell me either. Just a bunch of features without the overall context. Wearing my day job web consultancy hat, I'd say that's a pretty big fail.
@Jo @Bonfire Bonfire is to Mastodon, exactly the same way a CRM is to Linkedin. In practice, Bonfire is a publishing platform, a task manager, a marketplace, an event manager, but equipped with all the social features allowed by Activitypub and typical of a social network based on Activitypub
Excited to switch from my boring masto-compatible home to Bonfire. How ready is the declared feature "You can move your identity and import your data from another instance, whether that instance is running Bonfire, Mastodon, or another"? Got a guide how I'd get my existing posts out of Pleroma and import them and switch over, keeping my identity?
