I made a mockup for how #Lists could work: http://darch.dk/yarn/lists-mockup-01.html
@darch@neotxt.dk Can you do one more mockup? Something on a feed’s profile view that looks something like and more-or-less mimics the Github lists behaviour?
@darch@neotxt.dk Yes! 👌 I guess you did that pretty quickly, maybe see if you can play with the profile template and come up with some mocked demo? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net yes I wanted to have a feel for how it should look before digging into the guts of yarn.
Do you or anyone else got some opinions or feedback before i start coding?
@darch@neotxt.dk No I just think we should tie this to profile view.
@prologic@twtxt.net What are the logic behind having checkboxes for a list of ones lists? Why would you want to add them together again after you split them up?
EDIT: Aha it for adding a feed to a list. cleaver 😎
So it would be a feature next the the follow-button maybe
giving off some aphextwin vibes
@prologic@twtxt.net is this something you can work width?
https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/src/branch/lists_ui
@darch@neotxt.dk Precisely 😆
This is brillliant 👌 We can probably work with this 🤞
So you can create lists of feeds and other can follow them too?
@justamoment@twtxt.net No not quite although it is possible to publish the list of feeds and the name given to it by its maintainer, however as it stands there is no way to mix multiple feeds into a single feed without doing all sorts of weird things
@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, I see, do you plan on adding it as an extension in twtxt or is just for yarn?
@justamoment@twtxt.net I don’t see how it would be “spec” worth to be honest. I think its a client-only feature. Any client could implement the same idea, its mostly just a UX thing, organising feeds in some way the user wants.
@prologic@twtxt.net I thought that if one could “tag” a feed in the twtxt.txt it can be used by other clients with a centralized solution, maybe I’m overthinking it too much.
Great feature nonetheless. 👌
@justamoment@twtxt.net Hmmm… Think the other way around… You follow a few hundred feeds, some of them news, some friends/colleagues, maybe some family, maybe some small number are interesting stuff you just don’t want to miss. What do you do? 🤔 – I don’t think anyone that publishes a feed, whether personal, automated, interest topic or otherwise needs to do anything…
@prologic@twtxt.net So it’s just a client filter in this case, I understand.
What I thought was maybe something to share with others but you’re right about not being needed, a friend to me could a simple news feed to others.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Didn’t noticed the registry format, I thought it was a custom tool for the one I saw online.
@justamoment@twtxt.net We are however considering making it possible to publish said lists, providing an option for users to have private/public lists and probably just a simple text file format.
@prologic@twtxt.net Nice 👍
I have summarized what is needed to implement lists a feature in yarn and maybe other clients too. I it broken in to steps where we need to work out step 1 (backend and data storage) before we can start to implement the UI (step 2-5): #937 - Categorisation of feeds/users - aka. “Lists” - yarn - Mills
@prologic@twtxt.net and other, when we got a way to store the data about list for each user and functions to view and edit them, I will continue working on the UI:)
