⏸️ The project is temporarily on hiatus.

At the moment there is not the energy to develop the necessary progress, we need to strengthen the community to support it. There will be new updates when we have resolved this issue and can announce an updated roadmap.

Software operation flow for version 0.3.x

This post has been written In preparation for the HIP talk (7 slides first part, 17 slides second part, video on peertube), and contains a quite deep explanation on how the Librevents workflow connects: Facebook → Extension → Backend → Mobilizon.

#2nd Adversarial Interoperability Hackathon

Since version 0.2 of librevent we are moving to a more advanced design. In this hackathon we will address and discuss the limitations found in the previous model. We will discuss limitations (the use of our scripts is subordinated to having a fixed list of groups), technological (facebook’s HTML is intentionally obfuscated to prevent any form of scraping) and usability, also because of the thoughts we had about the target audience.
