Any conversation

I finally got the app!!

I really needed a quiet microblog. This looks like exactly what I'm looking for.

Same. I really wish this platform would last a long time... I've seen so many cool initiatives get posted on HN, only to be taken offline a few months later.

new semester euphoria is real. its like the only time i ever leave the house in the mornings. stay tuned to find out if itll last more than a couple lectures

in .

Super tired today. Must be the fall. Must be the rain. Must be the stretch of 5 meetings back to back the whole work day. Must be everything that’s on my mind. Tomorrow it’s a new day!

Ouch. Did you contribute in these meetings?

Sure, that’s what I do. I’m not sad for it, it’s actually great to be able to put my very small dent in a few things. But exhausting it is nevertheless.

…

Glad you're still a part of it, it's all performing, really. My meetings were useless. I was the youngest guy there, didn't have much to do but practise my doodling.

when will registration be open? I'd love to post on there!!!!

Haven't decided. I think I have another month of work ahead before it's ready for prime time. Will keep everyone updated by posting here.

Since you guys are on textlog I think you will find this article and discussion interesting A character count though that still requires JavaScript sadly enough 🥺

Interesting! Didn’t know about a few. Neat! 😊 Aside, do you have an invitation for ? Or can you help us by doing a post about textlog.cc?

…

You think is too much? It’s totally related to the post.

People post projects/tools/repos on lobsters all the time. From the about page, "as a rule of thumb, self-promo should be less than a quarter of one's stories and comments."

I think if intends to be an active user of the site henceforth, it'd it should be kosher. Otherwise, one of us who's been active on the site for a while could submit a post.

I plan to remain active, so not planning a top level post just yet. Will try to engage first for a few days so the ratio is low when I do the post.

smort. I'll be at the ready to upboat once the post drops 🫡

…

It is perfect 😊

The live tab on the android app is interesting... How does it work? This is a test 🫣

Does it do some kind of polling? Is there some kind of notify like publisher subscriber? 🤔

It’s using the /firehose endpoint. It’s an SSE endpoint publishing everything latest. Though I meant it to be used server-side, since it’s heavily rate-limited — up to 3 conns under the same network, but I can’t control how clients decide to use it so.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

…

Might just lift the limitation.

Lifted, that’s how clients want to use it then so be it! Should be fine. We’re nowhere near crashing the server from connections.

Hi ! First post : What do we win in the AI race ?

To understand the latest trends or related software or products, if you are interested or it is related to your own industry, you can learn about and study them.Whether you use it for work or just as a hobby, you can give it a try. I guess.just study.

Today visiting Zaragoza with an aunt and my mom, I hope to be this willing and capable of moving around for leisure when I'm in my 60s too

That will come with continued moving and activity throughout your life.

Being in your 60s is not that old. As long as keep up with movement over the years you should be fine.

All emails from textlog go to my junk folder, . Using iCloud+. Not sure if anyone reported that before, so here I am. :-)

Yeah it's happening to people. It's because the email contains a link and we don't have the reputation yet. Not sure what to do, have you tried reporting it as 'Not spam' in your client? Maybe if enough people do that it will fix. Gmail works ok.

Yup, I am moving them out of it. It might take a while, but eventually should be OK. All good, hopefully now with a password I will not have much use for them any more.

hihihi

csak lazán, mint Wuhanban, a víruslaborban, a piac mögött

just casually, like in Wuhan, in the virus lab, behind the market

hello world!

Hello 👋

At a philosophical level, can we have nice things?

…

I want this expanded and enacted by one of those guys doing Jordan Peterson impersonations :D

And kermit the frog sardonically

I think yes, but precisely NOT "at a philosophical level". You can have it only if you get your hands dirty and build it yourself. I think already proved this, just as a close example.

entropy says no

…

If speaking on a philosophical level, then first we have to ask: what’s “nice” and what’s “to have” 👀

If you consider what you have nice, you can have nice things. If your expectations to your surroundings are very very low, you will be amazed with all the nice things you get from people you meet through your day. My personal approach.

Maybe implementing a subset of Markdown would be a good thing. I am thinking about bold, italics, inline code, and code block, mostly. Oh, and links.

…

That’s a great set (and then no more!)

I think so. It could even be made a setting, defaulting it to off. I think it would be useful, especially is self-hosted for a tech community.

Instead of what to add I'm always asking myself what can be avoided or what can I take out. Adding features is easy. Minimalism is hard.

I agree that minimalism is hard. That’s why the subset was explicitly recommended small. Yet, I believe it is extremely useful to have.

…

Cool! Let’s test it with a link to Google.

I've tested MD and honestly I don't like it. Bold/italics add unnecessary noise/clutter and the font is already monospace, suited for code, so inline code & code fences are not needed. If 3rd party clients want to implement them it's fine but I'm sensitive to visual noise.

…

I agree with this. The core you're building is around a deliberate minimalist philosophy. I was happy to build an opinionated client for my own use-case, but it should imo stay on the fringes for those seeking it.
