Exciting news for the #Hollo project! We're thrilled to announce that Emelia Smith (@thisismissem) has joined as a co-maintainer alongside Hong Minhee (@hongminhee).

Emelia brings extensive experience in the #fediverse ecosystem, having been a long-time contributor to Mastodon and a leading expert in trust & safety tooling for decentralized social networks. She's dedicated years to improving moderation systems and security across #ActivityPub platforms.

Her recent contributions to Hollo have been substantial—implementing the reporting/flagging system and making significant improvements to OAuth and security features. These valuable contributions naturally led to her joining as a co-maintainer.

This collaboration marks an important milestone for Hollo as we continue building better single-user microblogging software for the fediverse. Welcome aboard, Emelia! 🚀

@hollo Amazing news 👏🏼 so happy to see Emelia join, couldn't think of a better person. Congrats @thisismissem @hongminhee !!

@hongminhee something else I'm bringing to @hollo is my experience building with Node.js (which is something like 16 years at this point), but I also get to cross-pollinate ideas between the various projects I work on (e.g., bringing S3 storage to Hollo via the same storage adapter model as @adonisframework uses, or figuring out testing infrastructure)

@hollo @hongminhee happy to be involved!

I think I'm probably most pleased with getting the OAuth functionality pretty much 100% covered by tests.

At some point, we'll definitely want to integrate test coverage into PR workflows
