Hi there, in the upcoming kbin releases, I will be describing the changes along with author tags, but for now, you can check out what’s happening here: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/activity, as well as my personal feed: https://ernest.dev
Today, two test instances will be created where we will be looking for bugs for some time, and then the changes will be rolled out to kbin.social and hopefully other instances as well :)
I want to accept as many pull requests as possible, currently, there are still 50 open ones. I’m also following your posts and adding new things to the to-do list.
Have a nice day!
Appreciate all your work and I am enjoying kbin but please make sure you are not burning yourself out. I have seen it too many times, especially in open source projects that become super popular all of a sudden. Take care of your mental health and work at a pace that you still enjoy. You don’t ow us anything.
Have a great Sunday!
There’s quite a few of us now helping out with tickets. Great to see lots of people coming together to make the site better. Good to get lots of bugs squashed :)
Love it! But that is or can be part of the “problem”. Suddenly it’s not “I am working on the software I like” anymore but “managing merge requests all day”. Not saying that’s what’s happening here tho. It can be a problem.
@Mnmalst Yeah, I am well aware of what you’re talking about, and I am trying to maintain a balance. I knew that it could look like this at a certain stage, but I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly ;) I assumed I would have a bit more time to prepare and acquire knowledge. Now I have to improvise. I make mistakes, but I try to fix them and always keep an eye on the big picture. That’s all I can do. Working with pull requests is great, I enjoy learning new things from others, and it’s also fun to discover bugs together. At least for now. ;-) But I always emphasize that my priorities are my milestones, which keep me afloat, so I care about organizing our collaboration as quickly and effectively as possible. However, we also need to get to know each other a little better.
Sounds like you have a working structure for now. :) I hope it all stays like this for you. I am exited about the future! Wish you the best.
I think it’s important to not have a single person having to deal with those. But admittedly it’s hard to get to that point. I’ve only significantly done established, commercial software dev, where you can just trust your coworkers. Random people on the internet are harder to trust. Anyone can play nice for a couple of days for a chance to slip in something malicious.
The project is not only rather new (so any contributors are gonna be new), but it’s also hosted on an unfamiliar site (which is to say, it’s not GitHub), so most people don’t have an account with history either.
