I donāt think anyone reading this hasnāt already seen the name popup before. Still, I felt it my duty to resurface it for those who may have skipped over it, ignored it, or just put off backing for a later date. So hereās your reminder.
If, by some chance, you havenāt seen Bokeh yet, itās basically the indieweb version of Instagram. I donāt have all the details, and you can find more on the Kickstarter page, but Tim Smith is someone Iāve seen across the indie interwebs quite a bit. I trust he will work to make this a reality. He isnāt a developer though, and thatās where this Kickstarter comes in. The funds raised here will be used to hire a developer to build out the app. Obviously, there is some risk here, but I believe itās something worth helping Tim try to achieve.
Iāve pretty much stopped using Instagram altogether and have my own photo site with Blot at completenonsen.se. Given the indieweb values behind Bokeh, it sounds like I can keep that photo site and have it work in tandem with Bokeh, similar to this site and micro.blog. I dig it. However, if Bokeh exceeds my expectations, maybe I wonāt even need complete nonsense anymore. Iāll probably keep it, but who knows.
Anyways, Timās Kickstarter for Bokeh is over $7,000.00 now putting him less than $4,000.00 away from successfully funding with 20 days to go. If you havenāt pledged, give it a look and considering backing yourself.
