Very much a Minimum Viable Product. Will blog about how it works this weekend.
Yesterday I went out into the real world and used my self-built FourSquare-forFediverse clone for the first time!
You can see the results by following @edent_location
✅ Location metadata attached
✅ Images with alt text
✅ Links to OSM
❌ No parsing of URls or Hashtags
❌ Location accuracy still a bit dodgy
❌ UI very bare-bones
Pretty good result for half-a-dozen PHP files.
It certainly does work. There was one thing I noticed that seemed b0rked. That or maybe my client couldn't read it?
I see the alt text in the location.edent link, but when I try to click the alt text link in my (stock Mastodon web client) it doesn't show. See video:

I expected the alt text to be visible in my client, right? Maybe not?
@bernat
Interesting. Do you usually see alt text in the web interface?
