I created an app that allows you to find people from other Mastodon instances based on hashtags you both like.

bitbra.in/tootpal

It's still a bit buggy, I hacked it together in an hour - but it gets the job done.

Why do you need write permission?

@vpol to follow people. However, it should only require write:follow

@vpol just double checked and indeed it asks for write, not just write:follow. I will fix this ASAP.

Thanks for reporting.

@bitbraindev @vpol Would it be possible to just ask for read initially and only ask for "write:follow" when someone requests it?

I'm hesitant to authorize an unknown creator's app to that access and would rather just follow people myself

@voxpelli @vpol great feedback. I will defer permissions until the moment they are really required.

Note: this app is fully local so when granting access it will only do it for your browser. There is no backend/server. Still good to defer permissions. 👍

@bitbraindev can I add my own instance to that thing?

@hp yes! Added it now, just for you. The dropdown allows custom input too that's now in the list :godot: ❤️

@bitbraindev
En pääse kirjautumaan. Kumpaa tässä halutaan - handlea vai ulkoista s.postia? Molempia pyydetään

@PirjaPaa can you translate this to English for me?

@bitbraindev
Sorry ! 😂😂
Don't know why I wrote in Finnish..
It's asking both for handle AND email to log on to your app. Can't seem to get access with either

@indieadvisor einige Leute haben das gleiche Problem. Werde das untersuchen!

@emergencygg that is definitely not what should happen, lol.

@bitbraindev ich schaffe es (in Firefox mobil) nicht, Hashtags einzugeben. Die Eingabe bleibt im Feld stehen und verwandelt sich nicht in Hashtags – gibt es eine Tasteneingabe (Beistrich, Enter,..) um das Ende eines Wortes/Hashtags zu forcen?
