I'm the founder & lead dev of PieFed so I'm all over the place but the API is getting more of my attention lately. I've been doing web development for 25+ years and building social media type web apps for most of that time. Also lots of moderation on various platforms.

@andrew_s@piefed.social did the bulk of the work on the API.

Hello, I'm Gary.

I'm the developer for Summit, an Android app, which suppots both Lemmy and PieFed at the moment.

wjs018 - a contributor to piefed, mainly doing UI/UX stuff for the web interface rather than the api. I am not a dev by trade, instead I do biophysics, like at a lab bench in a lab coat and all that. My first foray into programming was when I was in grad school and I had to learn enough IDL and python to rewrite a bunch of IDL scripts into python so that any of us knew what the hell they did. Then, I changed the whole direction of my PhD thesis and didn't need any of that...however, I did stick with python as a bit of a hobby, and the rest is history.

Heya! I develop Mlem along with @ericbandrews@lemmy.ml. The core PieFed features are now available on the beta version, and we’re currently working towards full parity with what we offer for Lemmy. We’re looking forward to bringing PieFed-exclusive features to our users once they become available through the API :)

Hello all! I'm jwr1, a web and app developer, and also the admin of kbin.earth.

Me along with @olorin99 are the developers of Interstellar. Intestellar was the first app to adopt PieFed, and additionally already supports Mbin and Lemmy. It's available on Android, Linux, and Windows, and a TestFlight is open for iOS and macOS.

We'd love to have more developers/contributors if anyone here knows Flutter or wants to get into it!
