polyproto A refreshingly simple, decentralised, federated protocol. No more losing friends, followers or messages if your old homeserver sunsets. Feel free to migrate to another homeserver at any time, even if your old homeserver has shut down ages ago.

It has been a good weekend for the polyproto website! Layout shift in the specifications was fixed, accessibility has been improved, and the specifications have been made more legible! neocat_up__w_

Also, headings h2-h6 are now always bold and colored relatively distinctively to make distinguishing between the different levels of headings a good bit easier.

Apparently, Mermaid diagrams aren't accessible by default, for reasons I could not possibly explain to you, given that in sequence diagrams, all data is already labeled, named, and has relationships applied to it, which could easily just be converted into a text description.

Anyway, after learning about this fact an hour ago, all our mermaid diagrams now have hand-written (screenreader accessible) description texts, as well as the full suite of aria attributes (aria-labelledby,
aria-describedby, aria-label, aria-roledescription) to hopefully fix this issue.

Another website update! After years of suffering from Docusaurus disease, linking to page anchors should now finally work without shifting your layout, making you end up at a completely different position in the spec than the one you got linked to. Oh my god that was so annoying

Trial it by clicking on this link; you should end up at section "7.1.1 Redirects" neocat_science polyproto.org/docs/protocols/core#711-redirects

We made a slight update to our website! Prose is now displayed with the Font Atkinson Hyperlegible Next, to improve readability. The home page stayed mostly unchanged. neocat

We have our own 88x31 now, too! It's not the most beautiful one out there, but I did make it myself! Embed it wherever you want :)

pixelated 88x31 button with white text "polyproto". one half of the polyproto logo is peeking out on the very left of the button. background is a pattern of two different tones of purple. a trans- and rainbow colored border surrounds the button.

@Cyborus i cannot tell you why firefox chooses to download this as .wav, but the link most definitely references a .webp

Over the last 24h, a lot of additions have landed in the PURR for OIDC+SCIM in polyproto, with each commit bringing us closer to unblocking work on all home server parts which require user authentication—which, as you might have guessed—that's a lot of parts! neodog_book_owo

While OIDC essentially makes sure that we aren't rolling our own auth solution, making things like passkey support, 2FA and permission scoping super easy, SCIM allows for polycu- uh, I mean organizations cough to automatically provision polyproto identities for critters!

To explain why SCIM is cool: imagine being invited to your polycul-organizations' self-hosted services network, and immediately having just one account and sign-in with which you can use their @polyphonychat instance, the shared media library, music server and fedi instance, without having to do anything extra! neocat_flag_polyam

Work on this has already started! neocat The OIDC-branch is being expanded with more information. The goal for now is to define all the rough outlines, and to fill in the rest later, through knowledge gained via feedback and an implementation.

@Gnuxie @alexia As alexia already helpfully alluded to, if XMPPs XEPs are Lego-Bricks, then polyproto extensions are Duplos. Tech-standards integrate technologies into the protocol in a reusable way, while application standards define an application skeleton fit to federate with other implementation following the same standard.
