<p>We're thrilled to highlight five outstanding contributions from the Korean Open Source Contribution Academy (<a href="/tags/ossca/" rel="tag">#OSSCA</a>) program participants who have been working on <a href="/tags/fedify/" rel="tag">#Fedify</a>! Their dedication and effort have significantly enhanced our <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> server framework.</p><p>First up is <span class="h-card"><a href="https://hackers.pub/@nyeong" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>nyeong</span></a></span> with his monumental <a href="/tags/318 pr/" rel="tag">#318 PR</a>, implementing a SQLite-based key–value store to address <a href="/tags/274/" rel="tag">#274</a>. This contribution adds the SqliteKvStore class with full cross-runtime support for Node.js, Deno, and Bun through the new @fedify/sqlite package. His implementation includes atomic operations, TTL support, comprehensive test coverage, and careful attention to SQL injection prevention. This enables developers to use SQLite as a persistent storage backend while maintaining compatibility with Fedify's existing KvStore API—a crucial feature for production deployments!</p><p>Next, <span class="h-card"><a href="https://hackers.pub/@crohasang" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>crohasang</span></a></span> delivered an excellent quality-of-life improvement with <a href="/tags/341 pr/" rel="tag">#341 PR</a>, fixing <a href="/tags/257/" rel="tag">#257</a>. He enhanced the CLI to properly respect TTY status and the NO_COLOR environment variable, implementing intelligent color control across all CLI commands. The solution involved switching from @cliffy/ansi/colors to @std/fmt/colors, creating a helper function using Deno.inspect() to handle object formatting, and ensuring colors are correctly disabled when output is redirected to files. This makes the CLI much more pipe-friendly and suitable for automated workflows!</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://hackers.pub/@menele" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>menele</span></a></span> contributed a thoughtful enhancement with <a href="/tags/342 pr/" rel="tag">#342 PR</a>, addressing <a href="/tags/191/" rel="tag">#191</a>. She updated the fedify inbox command to display not just the activity type, but also the type of object contained within each activity—transforming output like "Create" into the more informative "Create(Note)" or "Undo" into "Undo(Follow)". This seemingly simple change required making the display function asynchronous to fetch the enclosed objects, significantly improving the debugging experience for developers!</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://hackers.pub/@woaol" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>woaol</span></a></span> tackled an important developer experience issue with <a href="/tags/329 pr/" rel="tag">#329 PR</a>, solving <a href="/tags/306/" rel="tag">#306</a>. Previously, the fedify init command would often install outdated versions of Fedify packages like @fedify/redis because version numbers were hardcoded in the CLI. They created a getLatestVersion() function that dynamically retrieves package versions from local metadata files, ensuring that developers always get the latest versions of all Fedify packages when initializing a new project. This improvement includes comprehensive test coverage and eliminates the frustration of starting a project with outdated dependencies!</p><p>Finally, <span class="h-card"><a href="https://hackers.pub/@kodingwarrior" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>kodingwarrior</span></a></span> made a significant contribution with <a href="/tags/309 pr/" rel="tag">#309 PR</a>, implementing <a href="/tags/269/" rel="tag">#269</a>—NestJS integration! They created the @fedify/nestjs package with a FedifyModule that seamlessly integrates Fedify into NestJS applications. This includes proper middleware implementation, dependency injection support through NestJS's module system, and compatibility with both CommonJS and ESM environments. This opens up Fedify to the large NestJS developer community, making it easier than ever to build ActivityPub-enabled applications with this popular enterprise framework!</p><p>These contributions showcase the incredible talent and dedication of the OSSCA participants. From core infrastructure improvements to developer experience enhancements, each contribution makes Fedify better for the entire community. Thank you all for your hard work and welcome to the Fedify contributor family! 🚀</p><p>We're looking forward to seeing more amazing contributions from the OSSCA program and the broader community.

<p>EDIT: Build 68 should also run on iOS 18.x but it currently crashes. I'll see if I can fix it.</p><p>After quite some time, I’m finally ready to share this.</p><p>MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.</p><p>It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.</p><p>What makes it different:<br>• snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"<br>• Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others<br>• EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)<br>• Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline<br>• Markdown posting for snac<br>• Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account<br>• Blocking and moderation tools<br>• Very small footprint, very low RAM usage</p><p>Alt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.</p><p>It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.</p><p>Important note:<br>MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.</p><p>The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.</p><p>TestFlight link:<br><a href="https://testflight.apple.com/join/Pkxa5R1k" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="testflight.apple.com/join/Pkxa5R1k"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">testflight.apple.com/join/Pkxa</span><span class="invisible">5R1k</span></a></p><p>Stay tuned.</p><p><a href="/tags/mastoblaster/" rel="tag">#MastoBlaster</a> <a href="/tags/ios/" rel="tag">#iOS</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/snac/" rel="tag">#snac</a> <a href="/tags/snac2/" rel="tag">#snac2</a> <a href="/tags/akkoma/" rel="tag">#Akkoma</a> <a href="/tags/gotosocial/" rel="tag">#GoToSocial</a> <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> <a href="/tags/ownyourdata/" rel="tag">#OwnYourData</a></p>
