Call for @joss reviewers:

EdgeVPN.io
repo: github.com/EdgeVPNio/evio
pre-review: github.com/openjournals/joss-r
language: Python

Description:

EdgeVPN.io is an evolution of the IP-over-P2P (IPOP) project. IPOP started as an IP-based peer-to-peer overlay targeting personal devices, and over time the architecture evolved to adopt various standards, support centralized user/group management, and incorporate software-defined networking, culminating in the current architecture, tailored for research and development in nascent edge computing applications.
...
EdgeVPNio is a research project to build networking for the fog, spanning the network continuum from the cloud to its edge. It builds networking cyber-infrastructure which supports emerging IoT era applications.

Looks like this one might be a bit of fun for #p2p people, or i suppose #DistributedSystems people generally. No prior experience reviewing for JOSS is required, experience with Python is required, and some experience with the topic area is preferred. Don't be shy! If you've never done open review before, JOSS is a great place to start. It's a really good way to learn by teaching (or learn by reading!) in a collaborative context. You can reply here or on the pre-review issue to volunteer :)

edit: would love to have some infosec people on this one! even and especially if you are not in academia :)

Still looking for a second reviewer for @pyOpenSci

Package: automata
review: github.com/pyOpenSci/software-
repo: github.com/caleb531/automata
description: A Python library for simulating finite automata, pushdown automata, and Turing machines.

Open reviews are a great way to learn by teaching, see what other people are up to, and make software development a valued and creditable part of academic work. Anyone with familiarity with Python is welcome as a reviewer, experience in the topic domain is a bonus but not required. DM me or reply on the above issue, it's fun, i promise! :)

edit: reviewer found! thank you @iris <3

Putting a call out for @pyOpenSci reviewers :)

Package: automata - "A Python library for simulating finite automata, pushdown automata, and Turing machines."
github.com/pyOpenSci/software-

Looks like a good bit of fun (cellular automata are a recurring love of mine) - we would love to give people who haven't had a chance to review software a go here, but previous reviewers welcome too. You'll be taking on the role of a prospective user and colleague advising and trying to help make a package work as well as it can, reaching some minimum standard via checklist, raising issues and making suggestions as you read and run it.

More on the review process: pyopensci.org/software-peer-re

Reply here or DM me, (though my notifications are getting mauled rn so probably DM)

@taylorlorenz
We never had problems with AOL! /sarcasm
But seriously I worked with the developers of lots of software products. Before we would launch them I insisted we bring in a "normal" user & sometimes a former editor of a #SoftwareReview magazine.
They found lots of problems because the developers made assumptions the "everybody knows." But the new users did NOT know. I said
"The user can't read your mind"
This was before 1000's of app store reviews. A bad review in a pub was devastating

AOL disk for Windows

Wanted to give some impressions on #Firefish (or #Calckey if you haven't noticed the rebrand). I'm new to the fediverse, and typically was not a consumer of Twitter, so these might be some "well duh" comments but here goes anyways.

1. One of the features that I really liked about Mastodon was the column layout. This is something I think a lot of Twitter users are probably used to. At first I thought Firefish did not have this support, but you actually can add columns using the + on the right! FIRST, you have to change the layout option to "deck." You can find layouts in the settings area.

2. The columns are highly customizable. I found the "flexible" setting to be the best option for feed-centric columns, but the fixed width for stuff like notifications.

3. WORKSPACES! This is an amazing feature. It's like how you can have different desktops in Mac OS or Linux (hell, maybe even Windows has that feature but I haven't used a Windows OS in a number of years now). Once I had my lists setup, I realized I can have workspace to show me the "typical" feeds list, but then one with my lists so I can just browse those on their own.

4. Speaking of lists, I was happy to find out that I can mute a particular account in my feed, but that does not affect it appearing on a list. The same goes for muted boosts from any user. Those show up in the list but not the feed. Great!

5. I've been using
#RadiantApp (iOS) for Mastodon (which is amazing and I highly recommend it!) but it won't connect to my account here on Firefish unfortunately. One of the problems I was having with the progressive web app (PWA) version of Firefish was there didn't appear to be any way to get it to refresh the feed. Pulling down didn't work as expected. BUT Firefish has a way to fix this! You can add a refresh button to your navigation bar. Just go into the settings, go to navigation, then type "reload" in to the list wherever you want that button to appear (I added it to the very top). After you save there's a refresh button you can hit when you load the PWA.

6. Migration was simple. Export from Mastodon and import into Firefish. I suppose this is more of a Mastodon feature than Firefish one, but it works really well so I wanted to point that out.

7. Completely forgot to add this one, so adding it in an edit. The status bar feature allows you to add an RSS feed, which will then scroll like a news ticker at the top of the app. While this isn't an amazing WOW-factor type feature, it is actually really nice. There are other options for the status bar but I haven't explored those yet.

A few suggestions I have if any Firefish devs happen across this post.

1. Would be nice to have window resizing save. I'd like the window that opens for things to stay the size I set them to last time. For example, the post composition window or when you click a post to see the comments.

2. One thing I didn't note above is that the customizations you make have to be done per browser. So if you add the refresh button to your navigation bar in your desktop browser, you also have to add it on your mobile browser for the PWA. This goes for themes and other settings as well. It would be nice if there were some way to save these preferences to the server for my account so I wouldn't have to recreate them per device. Of course, you'd probably need a way to override settings between devices if there are some that are incompatible on mobile vs desktop, or vice versa.

UPDATE (thanks @octofloofy@lethallava.land) you can actually do this by saving the preferences and then loading them on another device!!

3. In relation to number 5 above, the name used to add an icon to the navigation bar and the text that the icon is labelled as do not match. The icon is labelled as "refresh" however the text to get it to appear it "reload." While this is a little thing, it would be nice if the nomenclature was consistent.

All in all, I've pretty much moved to Firefish as my permanent home now that I've kind of figured out (some of) the ins and outs. Looking forward to whatever comes next!
