In-reply-to » (#py6tmvq) @lyse Where? 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net Of course you don’t notice it when yarnd only shows at most the last n messages of a feed. As an example, check out mckinley’s message from 2023-01-09T22:42:37Z. It has “[Scheduled][Scheduled][Scheduled]“
 in it. This text in square brackets is repeated numerous times. If you search his feed for closing square bracket followed by an opening square bracket (][) you will find a bunch more of these. It goes without question he never typed that in his feed. My client saves each twt hash I’ve explicitly marked read. A few days ago, I got plenty of apparently years old, yet suddenly unread messages. Each and every single one of them containing this repeated bracketed text thing. The only conclusion is that something messed up the feed again.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Agree. I’m not sure we should lax the timestamp format at all IMO. What @xuu@txt.sour.is has found is kind of nuts haha 😆 However I do think we should relax the \t separator between <timestamp> and <content>. Let users use any valid whitespace here that isn’t a newline or carriage return.

In-reply-to » Linear feeds are a dark pattern - A proposal for Mastodon https://tilde.town/~dzwdz/blog/feeds.html

I think the author is a bit out of their depth here. A linear feed isn’t quite what the author seems to be modelling in their view of the problems they observe and describe. A linear feed has a beginning and an end. You can (ideally client-side) sort it by Date, or by Subject like we do with our Twtxt clients. A Tree-structure isn’t what the author thinks either, this is more the structure that forms after you introducing some kind of “threading model”. The main problem with any kind of information system that tries to figure out algorithmically what you want to “see” is that type of interface has no start and no end. SO you end up with a “scroll of doom”.

In-reply-to » Linear feeds are a dark pattern - A proposal for Mastodon https://tilde.town/~dzwdz/blog/feeds.html

The article discusses the challenges posed by linear social media feeds, which often lead to disengagement and difficulty in prioritizing content from friends due to constant scrolling. The author proposes an alternative approach using a daily feed structure per day, which organizes posts by date, allowing for easier prioritization and reducing mindless scrolling.

Key Points:

  1. Linear Feed Problem: Linear feeds present a long list of posts without prioritization, forcing users to scroll endlessly to catch up on friends’ content. This can lead to addiction and disengagement.

  2. Proposed Alternative (Tree Structure): The daily feed structure organizes posts by day, enabling users to prioritize updates from friends who post infrequently while reducing scrolling effort.

  3. Mastodon Experience: The author’s experience with Mastodon highlighted its effectiveness in allowing content prioritization and managing social media usage without dependency on algorithms.

  4. Challenges and Considerations:

    • Implementation Challenges: Creating a daily feed system involves organizing content effectively and ensuring users can prioritize posts.
    • Platform Support: Current platforms may not have APIs conducive to such changes, making it difficult to implement without significant technical changes.
    • Engagement Metrics: The impact on engagement metrics needs to be considered, as traditional metrics might be misinterpreted in a tree structure.
  5. Potential Applications Beyond Social Media: This approach could empower users by giving control over content consumption and aiding in balancing social media use without overwhelming them with information.

  6. Future Directions: The author hopes for improvements in alternative platforms’ feed systems and engagement metrics, potentially through more interactive content models or changes in APIs.

In conclusion, the article emphasizes the importance of providing users with control over their content consumption, moving away from linear feed

In-reply-to » Have you ever had to refactor a project that was not documented? Any suggestions?

ok, sounds like a ‘large’ project to me.
Is it more an API (more oriented to developers), more oriented to UI/UX/Frontend? Perhaps both?

I’d go with prologic’s advice of measuring and prioritizing. Perhaps you have a budget or at least something like “let’s see how far can we reach in 6 months”, and possibly you won’t finish in the time you have (just guessing).

Something that has helped me was defining “Why do you we want to refactor this project?”.
Could it be to make it compile on newer versions, or making it easier to grow and scale, or perhaps they are trying to sell that product to another company. Every reason has a different path, IMO.

The project is a POC (Proof of Concept) that went into production and the company has customers who are using it. The developers had been working for several years, without testing, structure, isolation and so on. The company hired me to transform the project into a real product. There are in my hands 422 python files to transform that they beg me a refactore, architecture and testing. Every developer’s bad dream.
My first step is to read and understand the tree because there are apps inside other apps call each other. I am very determined to work on a new repository.

In-reply-to » Have you ever had to refactor a project that was not documented? Any suggestions?

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I suggest to not touch it and work on a different project instead. :-D

No, in all seriousness, that’s a tough one. Try to figure out the requirements and write tests to cover them. In my experience, if there is no good documention, tests might also be lacking. It goes without saying that you have to understand the code segments first before you can begin to refactor them. Commit even earlier and more often than usual, this will help you bisecting potentially introduced bugs later on. Basically baby steps.

But it also depends on the amount of refactoring required. Maybe just scrap it entirely and start from scratch. This might not be feasible due to e.g. the overall project size, though.

In-reply-to » (#ymspbvq) @eapl.me Read flags are so simple, yet powerful in my opinion. I really don't understand why this is not a thing in most twtxt clients. It's completely natural in e-mail programs and feed readers, but it hasn't made the jump over to this domain.

@eapl.me@eapl.me Yeah, you need some kind of storage for that. But chances are that there’s already a cache in place. Ideally, the client remembers etags or last modified timestamps in order to reduce unnecessary network traffic when fetching feeds over HTTP(S).

A newsreader without read flags would be totally useless to me. But I also do not subscribe to fire hose feeds, so maybe that’s a different story with these. I don’t know.

To me, filtering read messages out and only showing new messages is the obvious solution. No need for notifications in my opinion.

There are different approaches with read flags. Personally, I like to explicitly mark messages read or unread. This way, I can think about something and easily come back later to reply. Of course, marking messages read could also happen automatically. All decent mail clients I’ve used in my life offered even more advanced features, like delayed automatic marking.

All I can say is that I’m super happy with that for years. It works absolutely great for me. The only downside is that I see heaps of new, despite years old messages when a bug causes a feed to be incorrectly updated (https://twtxt.net/twt/tnsuifa). ;-)

that’s a fair point.

Perhaps, since Twitter in 2006 never implemented read flags, every derivative microblogging system never saw that as an expected feature. This is curious because Twitter started with SMS, where on our phones we can mark messages as read or unread.
I think it all comes from the difference between reading an email (directed to you) vs. reading public posts (like a blog or a ‘wall,’ where you don’t mark posts as read). It’s not necessary to mark it as ‘read’, you just jump over it.

Reading microblogging posts in an email program is not common, I think, and I haven’t really used it, so I cannot say how it works, and whether it would be better for me or not.
However, I’ve used Thunderbird as a feed reader, and I understand the advantages when reading blog posts.

About read flags being simple, well
 we just had a discussion this morning about how tracking read messages would require a lot of rethinking for clients such as timeline where no state is stored. Even considering some kind of ‘notification of unread messages or mentions’ is not expected for those minimalist client, so it’s an interesting compromise to think about.
