Thank you for putting all this together!

Potential conflict of interest: I help with !instance_assistant@lemmy.ca

Having a separate list for extensions would work nicely, although I think it fits to have the extensions listed here. There are few actual browser extensions for Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon. There are a lot of scripts, and we were working on incorporating the better scripts into the extension for the same reasons you mentioned above. Scripts are harder to manage and review

My thoughts on the questions.

  1. "last stable version" sounds like a good way to sort it, for readers. It might become cumbersome for you to manage unless you can automate it somehow.
  2. I'm leaning towards flagging or removing out of date apps because of potential security issues. Could you contact devs after a few months to ask if it is being maintained?
  3. A big list of every app would be interesting for data. It isn't helpful for users, so I agree with keeping them off
  4. I have a donation link. I don't think it should be included in guides or lists either
  5. I like the formatting, as a reader. Consider if it becomes too cumbersome for you and your team to manage. I'd rather have a list that stays up to date and doesn't cause headaches for the maintainer
[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

My theory is that if we start with an up-to-date list, we can crowdsource updates without too much trouble. In theory?

I'm letting this settle for a couple days before tackling the discussion of what tools to include. I'd love to hear your thoughts about inclusion criteria! Feel free to reply or DM me.

Maybe we could have a "nominate for removal" process to deal with out of date apps. Some are obvious, but some are less so. Not every app will have a release every 6 months.

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 8 months ago

Nice list!

My theory is that if we start with an up-to-date list, we can crowdsource updates without too much trouble. In theory?

One way to do this could be to have a GitHub repo where the list is hosted. That way if someone wants to update it, they create a pull request that can be accepted by the moderating team
