Interesting that they point at #autocrypt and #deltachat

Not sure how the two would work together though is that is at all possible

@movq@uninformativ.de I think the webclient on my phone “cookie jar’ed” that mention. We need to find a way to clear the postbox so prefilled text is not carries over from difference view. Right now it seem to just store whatever. @prologic@twtxt.net or others, do you have any idea how to fix this?

@zags@octobloc.xyz i guess not, since the hash is calculated from the content of the post

WINAMP

@eaplmx@twtxt.net yes that I how I think it should work too here on the web app

@eaplmx@twtxt.net if you look at my two replies to https://neotxt.dk/conv/wnvp5ja i hope it makes sense. Looking at the raw txt that is.

it not a trick. just a convention for splitting up quotes. if you look at the two post i may earlier today you will see what I mean

this might be an option for yarn pods to get a a little funding

Vote/opinion: which is the preferred or correct render of block quotes - yarnd or the yarn app?

I would have expected it to look like it does in the app when I wrote the posts, but yarnd collapsed it allo into one blockquoute, which intrired to fix by adding (...)

Is this a problem with the markdown parser not being the same used in the app and in yarnd?

Software doesn’t become user-friendly by accident. So before you have code written, you need a plan.

1. You need to think beyond your own needs.
   
2. You need methods to get good feedback, because describing a project to people new to your project is hard and probably requires several iterations.
   
3. You’re not going to get this right on your own: you need people to provide feedback and you need people who can write well, translate and present it visually.
   

Even if the hands-on design work would be covered by volunteers, we need someone to make sure that it all comes together. That all that work has unity and consistency within and between products. And that there’s a bit of quality assurance.

Often software starts with dogfooding founders, with features that solve their personal problems.

Define your vision and mission. Write a manifesto! Inspire people with exciting words.

From: https://www.kooslooijesteijn.net/blog/why-is-free-open-source-software-badly-designed

With software it’s clear: when you don’t have programmers, you don’t get a computer program. But when a team is employed to develop a product without designers, a design gets made nonetheless. Accidental design. Bad design, most likely. But with no designer around and no one listening to users, the client is not going to notice.

(…)

Great design isn’t done by picking up a tiny issue and creating a solution for it. It’s done by gaining deep understanding for the problems people have, the context in which they use products and by testing solutions with people. It’s labor-intensive and requires people who are engaged with their users over long periods of time.

(…)

In volunteer-to-volunteer situation, they just have to hope someone feels like doing it. If the frontend developer is like, ‘Yeah, but I like it the other way’, designers are shit out of luck.

@eaplmx@twtxt.net wow that is a fucking goldmine of good observations working with you guys on yarn.social - especially the previous article: https://www.kooslooijesteijn.net/blog/why-is-free-open-source-software-badly-designed

@eaplmx@twtxt.net look good, great work. I’m getting a bit confused with the icons, especially the colours. If preferred is to be above available the the colour should be flipped so preferred is green and available is yellow similar to a traffic light 🚦

Doodle.com uses (✓) for their middle level called something like yes if needed vs just ✓ for yes

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I been thinking about that too at some point. I believe that was the original reason form the 140 character limit on twitter.

Aslo made a page on the wiki explaining how to Update the icon font file

New nicer looking filters with icons now online at http://neotxt.dk along with a new PR #1081

@mckinley@twtxt.net hmm it doesn’t seem that ladybird support CSS gird, which is was a lot of the changes/improvementsvare using instead of flexbox.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no do you have any always on devices in your setup? That one of my biggest concerns for me to switch from dropbox - that I would not always be working on the latest version of a file.

This seem to mostly apply to yarnSocial as well: How Mastodon is different (than twitter)

we can start now or in 5 min

@prologic@twtxt.net yes, see ya later

@prologic@twtxt.net you posted the timeslots when I was sleeping so it was a bit hard to set my alarm for 06 CET😴

I would prefer if both times lots was an hour later, but I could do both/either if I knew it 1.5 days in advance so I could plan accordingly 😊

@prologic@twtxt.net link is not working….

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org danke, i’ve fixed that now

You could set up a RSS for your miniblog (if it’s not already thee?) that people could then followed via feeds.twtxt.net

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci no, because twtxt is pull only. The comparison with email is more that is not just one server by one company, but that no one owns the platform, since it not a platform but at protocol

Mastodon is Email? – Email is good. and the same goes for twtxt+yarn

When I try to explain yarn.social to others i also tell them that’s like email, but not sure many people get it.

What are your experience with getting others on board to yarn and twtxt?

@justamoment@twtxt.net twtxt don’t have headings, so do you mean the username?

It says here that you can run your own server: https://gitlab.com/jam-systems/jam

@hashrock@twtxt.net how do I setup and start using https://github.com/anydown/kanbandown when I don’t know yarn.js (not be confused with yard/twtxt;)

@mckinley@twtxt.net I will probably be going out at that hour tomorrow. But your guys should just go ahead a have a yarn if more people can meet there

@hashrock@twtxt.net you can already point pixelblog to an external twtxt.txt, but generating thumbnails does only work for local files.

And for mockup take a look at: https://darch.dk/pixelblog/gallery/

But it would be nice to have a more tumblr look with thumbnails in their propper aspect ration as in your mockup above.

@prologic@twtxt.net that is 4 in the morning, so it will be sleeping there💤

and then this could be a reason to show the type for Normals feeds as well and then do the color thung

@prologic@twtxt.net yup I think that will do for now, though it is not available on mobil.

okay, so the icons for type of feed (bot, rss, human?) could be in different colors depending on if you follow it or not: --text-light for not following and --accent if you follow them.

@prologic@twtxt.net maybe, but we already got a lot of icons in the ui. Also what would be a good icons for “you already follow this feed / you do not follow this feed” ? and thidly all icons is for actions, this would only be information.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no yes that would be a nice feature. An easy way of indicating it would be a border around the avatar in a specific color – or that might be taking too much attention.
It could also be a hover/alt text

@eaplmx@twtxt.net unfollowed https://texto-plano.xyz/~eaplmx/twtxt.txt now

@prologic@twtxt.net i also find this confusing, both the text and icons for reply and fork so I’m planning to come up with a more clear design where there might also be some visual ques to if this is a reply to the ongoing conversation or a branc/fork/sub-tread

@eaplmx@twtxt.net tooo.muutch.animaaation but otherwise cool

you can make an raspberry pi into a fm transmitter by just attaching a wire to one of the gpio pins. i tired it and it work

@eaplmx@texto-plano.xyz good idea to use check boxes, but not sure how to make it work…

Something like this:

Image

<main class="container float">
<aside class="filternav">
<h4>Filters</h4>
<nav class="tabs">
<a href="https://twtxt.net/?f=localonly" class="current">On twtxt.net</a>
<a href="https://twtxt.net/?f=noreplies">No Replies</a>
<a href="https://twtxt.net/?f=nobots">Exclude Bots</a>
<a href="https://twtxt.net/?f=norss">Exclude Feeds</a>
<a href="https://twtxt.net/">Clear</a>
</nav>
</aside>

I would suggest putteing the filters in a sidebar. With simple.css we can already use <aside> for this and from the new tabs in settings we can reuse the style for getting the boxes

@prologic@twtxt.net Can you also try to make a filter for posts containing images and other media? both markdown ![]() and links to .png .jpg .gif etc.

Then we would already have most of what we need for a thumblr/Instagram view for yarn/twtxt

@prologic@twtxt.net a flat files and folders CMS written in PHP, similar til WordPress but way simpler. Does the link not work? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net the CMS I use for www.darch.dk and blog.neotxt.dk

@prologic@twtxt.net sure, but first I a couple of days since I’m still traveling (will post photos soon too;)

Will you make an issue and tag me on gitea?

@prologic@twtxt.net a sort option would be nice for newest/oldest
