I recommended the Fediverse to Brennan Kenneth Brown (the creator and developer of fanfiction.lol: https://fanfiction.lol/, which is an alternative to Ao3, but that uses the same OTW software: https://github.com/otwcode/otwarchive/).

And he told me to go ahead and implement, as well as create a pull request.

The issue is: I know almost NOTHING about the technical side of The Fediverse (lol).

Of course it's an unpopular opinion among the vehemently anti-AI crowd over here, but you can get a pretty good headstart with LLMs, local ones even.

The thing is that you don't just take what is given and immediately send it back as a shitty PR. Code review it, figure out what works and what doesn't, have a test plan, have unit tests, stand up a sandbox and look at the frontend results, use a second agent for a blind code review, etc.

Hell, if you aren't spending at least the first several hours asking questions and crafting a complete design plan, you're not doing it right.
