Last call for this set of lexicons before I consider them mostly-finished If you’ve got any complaints at all, voice them now, reposts for reach appreciated.

Search should be faster and more accurate now! (If you're using the preview, give it a try, it'll be better unless there's not many posts for the query)

Any complaints on these? I've been bikeshedding the api design for months so I'd rather just ship something at this point, but I'd like feedback first

Good test, Gifdex's prod preview infrastructure remained 100% operational during the Bluesky outage. Call for mutuals to use the preview is still open, by the way.

It's not perfect yet but the loading shimmer exits earlier by loading a really low quality static of the gif until the original is ready Obviously when the media is actually cached by the cdn or browser both the shimmer and sometimes the preview can just be skipped over

a lot of these pages need a bit of polish for loading states but overall this is really usable now

To update on where we’re at: - Media processing pipeline for cdn is pretty much prepared now - The ingest code has been cleaned up and optimised - The frontends design and colour scheme is finished - Branding is still WIP - Lexicon schemas for xrpc endpoints are still being finalised too

Still working away on things ^^ Please save anything you’d like to keep from Tenor ahead of time! When gifdex launches you can bring all your media over day 1

Gifdex will be using this as a base for our blob CDN and will be taking full advantage of the policy service to do content takedowns at the CDN layer c:

honestly i think i could have something ready to release by march at this rate considering ive got this far in about a week and a bit most of this (minus homepage) is pulling live data from my appview/cdn and core functionality like likes/upload/etc are all mostly functional now

toying around with profile layouts, I think I'm almost happy the gif display but the rest of the profile needs work (testing on actual appview responses from real processed records now with images loaded via my own cdn)

okay the appview/api for @gifdex.net is pretty much in a working state now so it's time to actually get to work on making a site

I'll make a logo when I'm done with the code because I'll bikeshed myself on that the most
