On one hand: one of the few apps that support both #ActivityPub, Threadiverse groups and #RSS natively. On the other: it's the fork of an existing active web app and seems to be heavily vibe-coded. My search for a successor to #Friendica continues, I suppose. codefloe.com/catodon/catodon

@csolisr.azkware.net@bsky.brid.gy yes, it is, by @panos@catodon.rocks

Panos is an AP power user.

It will be very interesting to see where these AP apps go.

Will the ones helmed by software eng types persist — even with AI assistance? Or will the power users overwhelm those with their AI vibe coded apps?

What worries me the most about vibecoding is that it's a copyright minefield. I'm not aware of any LLMs that properly track and credit their sources when generating code, let alone calculate license compliance. The fair-use clause can only go so far in court, and I don't plan to rely on an app that can effectively become illegal overnight.
