This is how the new Loops app Notifications screen looks like.

Notice the lack of webfinger addresses, and the instant action buttons like Reply and Like?

All of these notifications are from remote accounts, but we hide the complexity of federation and only show the relevant details.

Pretty cool eh?

Loops now supports setting a minimum age that is verified during registration!

We do store your birthdate, but it's never shown publicly or via API.

We use this to determine eligibility for sign-up and soon to allow admins to limit NSFW content to a min age.

Just fixed an Http Signature bug in Loops that affected outgoing activities, specifically a malformed/missing Digest header.

https://github.com/joinloops/loops-server/commit/2b2a2f2a8f1b1c0d664b79bc3f67520bbacb6b2c

Loops has also switched from Laravel Sanctum to Laravel Passport for oAuth, I updated the install guide, but if you're seeing 500 errors on API requests, you simply need to run

```
php artisan passport:keys
```

And re-deploy!

I wanted to replicate the interactive mention/hashtags across our "<textarea>"s in Loops, like Facebook and Twitter does.

It wasn't easy though, but the user experience is much better IMO.

It's attention to the smallest details that really matters.

All those delays and missed deadlines did in fact pay off 🚀

I'm proud of how far the Loops API has come.

This is the comment resource response, it's not bloated, and contains only contextually useful data.

We also return cursor pagination data in the response so you don't have to parse headers.

And mention indices, so you don't need to parse HTML to handle mention links in your client.

It's not magic, it's just an API designed by a fellow app developer 😉
