On May 10th we published a toot asking for volunteers to dive into our upcoming beta of Bonfire Social, by participating in some usability testing sessions. It was such a great opportunity to see how a diverse range of people interacted and used our platform, what they found easy and familiar and what instead felt weird, clunky or buggy.| Bonfire
We’re days away now from the beta release of our Bonfire federated app toolkit. So close to the launch, we thought it’d be a great opportunity to write to future beta users - especially those whose first impressions of it might be something along the lines of: wait, this looks like just another microblogging app! haven't we already got enough of those?| Bonfire
In a few days' time we'd like to invite you to experiment with a 'playground' instance of Bonfire, the federated social networking toolkit for communities. As we explained in the previous post, we're focusing on getting the core social functionality of Bonfire ready, and we need your help!| Bonfire
Today, the Bonfire team is asking for your help with beta testing. Bonfire still needs a lot of work - be it bugs, federation, missing features, configurability and user experience - but that's the point: we decided to launch the playground at this gnarly stage with the specific intention of moving toward the 1.0 release as a community. We think the best way to rapidly improve Bonfire and its modularity is to test it and discuss it together!| Bonfire
How will our online experiences be different once we take back control over exactly who should see, interact with, and even collaborate on our content and activities at the most granular level?| Bonfire
In September we have been invited to present bonfire at the Italian PrivacyWeek. We joined Francesco Macchia and Filippo Delle Bianca in a speech titled: "Does it exist an alternative and a future for social media?"| Bonfire
Bonfire's circles and boundaries system is a powerful tool with which you can create custom groups of contacts and grant them specific permissions to interact with you and your content. They can help you take control of your online presence and ensure that your data is shared only with the people you want.| Bonfire
As part of our commitment to empower communities with tools to foster coordination, meaningful communications and a greater sense of caring and belonging, we are thrilled to announce the development of federated groups in Bonfire. In this blog post, we'll delve into the work in progress of implementing the core features of groups and explore the potential benefits this feature can bring to the whole fediverse.| Bonfire
Greetings, Bonfire Community!| Bonfire
As we approach v1.0 of Bonfire, we’re looking for volunteers to help us with some user research. We’re particularly interested in hearing from a diverse range of people who may be interested in using Bonfire in a personal or professional capacity .| Bonfire
The Bonfire team is committed to creating a federated app toolkit that is intuitive, user-friendly, and meets the diverse needs of our community. A key part of how people interact with Bonfire is the composer — the space where users craft their post and decide who can see and interact with it. To ensure this is as effective and easy to use as possible, we recently conducted user research to gather feedback and insights.| Bonfire
We're thrilled to announce the release of Bonfire version 0.9.6! This latest update brings a host of improvements and new features aimed at enhancing usability and providing more control over the content you engage with. Here's what's new:| Bonfire
We've spent the past two years building, iterating, experimenting, and refactoring the Bonfire codebase — to explore our assumptions, co-design with our community, and stretch the limits of social networking, all while having fun!| Bonfire
Introduction #| Bonfire
The scientific method must be liberated. In an era marked by misinformation, mass surveillance and political propaganda, corporate monopolies and platforms hinder scientific innovation and knowledge sharing. Scientists, researchers, academics and their affiliated organisations must have control over the tools and medium they use to publish, review, share, study and discuss their work.| Bonfire
Releasing the stable 1.0 version of the Bonfire federated social network requires collaboration with the communities, hackers, tinkerers, and sysadmins who plan to use it.| Bonfire
