✨ StreamGrid Update Drop – June 8 ✨

Big vibes today.

🌐 Notification system? Upgraded. Now with smarter filters so you only see what matters - likes, replies, mentions, DMs, XP, and more.

👀 Hovercards? Activated. Just hover over a username to instantly see their bio, avatar, and @handle. It’s smooth, fast, and just the beginning.

📬 Direct messages now support proper formatting, clickable links, and image previews that actually work.

🎨 We're building StreamGrid to be weird, beautiful, and user-first. A space where customization, expression, and community actually mean something.

🧠 Ethical tech. Zero algorithms. Infinite creativity.

Feed reader revolution: it’s time to embrace open & disrupt social media

The article about feed readers that I wrote for the new AltPlatform tech blog is out now. I hope everyone will take a look.

When this publication from Richard MacManus (the founder of ReadWriteWeb.com, one of my old favorite standbys) popped up a few weeks ago with the tagline “A non-profit tech blog about the open web”, I immediately bookmarked it and knew it would be at the top of my subscription list. When I read his founding manifesto for the blog, I was hooked and bumped it to the top of my list and tipped off others:

This looks like a must-read blog for #Indieweb proponents.​​https://t.co/pVvG1h34nb

There’s also some great articles up by Emre Sokullu, Brian Hendrickson, and Richard MacManus on a variety of other great topics. I hope you’ll take a look at what they’re doing and subscribe.

I’m pleased that they’ve taken something I was planning on posting here on my site and are giving it some wider exposure.

If you’re a journalist, blogger, or writer in the space, do feel free to connect with them to pitch ideas.
