made the moderation consent screen instead of blur an ascii mask using β–‘ which I think it looks better &2935 #metanotesenter to follow
the same applies for tags #tlognotesenter to follow and #textlognotesenter to follow β€” they are aliases for #metanotesenter to follow
Added #meta tag β€” use it whenever you want to talk about the site itself, and these posts will not show up in all, any or the post’s page. Only those that follow the tag or the person will see these posts in my feed or in post pages. This is to keep the site clear of meta discussions which dominated a lot at this early stage and I think were annoying to many people. So this is the last meta without the #meta tag you’ll see unless u follow. I’ll try to tag every post I find.
Now you can set your mood in your /account/edittextlogenterA quieter place for your thoughts. using a single emoji! It will be displayed next to your handle. You can see it right now next to mine! I’m not sure if I’ll keep this but it seemed like a #funnotesenter to follow little addition and I was bored. #tlognotesenter to follow #featurenotesenter to follow
We now have /bookmarkstextlogenterA quieter place for your thoughts.! You know that book or movie someone mentioned? Now you can bookmark that post by the bottom right action in the post’s page and then you can find these bookmarked posts from the bookmarks nav menu item. These are visible only to you and there is no gamification, the author doesn’t see that you’ve bookmarked their post. Enjoy! #tlognotesenter to follow #featurenotesenter to follow
I’ve changed the tabs. β€œSome other combination” was very high in the previous poll and I wanted to keep the labels short so they fit on mobile, so β€œfollowing” and β€œinbox” wouldn’t fit along with β€œrandom” and β€œlatest”. #metanotesenter to follow So… do you like the tabs now? #pollnotesenter to follow

@stagasprofileenter to followcreative technologist creator of textlog, a little #bugnotesenter to follow report for you. The addition of the recent activity bit on profile view does not work well when you have a description in your profile. On mobile when not on landscape mode the bio renders vertically, one character per line. On landscape mode it works fine. Tested on Firefox for Android. Not sure if on other browsers it is more graceful. #metanotesenter to follow

@stagasprofileenter to followcreative technologist creator of textlog I got weirdly rate limited for one hour and the experience was extremely odd. No site link worked. None. I was trying to reply and halfway I wanted to fact check something, copied my half finished message and went back a page, checked and went ahead to click reply or something and boom! Rate limited. #metanotesenter to follow
I don’t think it’s documented anywhere, or perhaps a #bugnotesenter to follow, @stagasprofileenter to followcreative technologist creator of textlog? Not all the hashtags are rendered in &2444. #metanotesenter to follow
There is now a note streak panel in your profile that shows which days you posted. This is visible only to you and is meant to gamify your own experience so that you develop the habit of writing. You can opt-out and hide it by going to Appearance β†’ Misc in the account settings. Enjoy! #metanotesenter to follow
Tweaked the moderation settings, some posts may appear moderated behind a consent screen. If you want to always see those posts and not have to click-to-show you can enable that setting under /account/edit/appearance?tab=misctextlogenterA quieter place for your thoughts. β€œShow moderated content”. If a legitimate post you make gets moderated it will also now tell you why and the score, so you can report it here and we can relax the settings more and put that also behind a consent screen instead of rejecting it. #metanotesenter to follow
Tweaked timelines to favor readability over strictly chronological ordering. This means sometimes a recent reply can resurrect an older post making it look like it is recent, but it’s only meant to bring context. The feeds also now collapse discussions with >1 replies that have been read, so you have to expand to read them again. Unreads will expand anyway. Let’s see how this goes for a couple of days. #tlognotesenter to follow #featurenotesenter to follow

@stagasprofileenter to followcreative technologist creator of textlog possible bug or odd behaviour: The past few times I’ve visited over the past 24 hours, my β€œfor you” had a count of 1 or 2 and it made sense. This evening, my β€œfor you” count is in the 800s. I’m only following two tags and the only other change is that I’m following you. As I type this out, that is probably it? Perhaps tag and user tabs should be separate? I’ve given this all of 23 seconds of thought, but it’s quite overwhelming. #metanotesenter to follow
Implemented #whisper modifier tag. Keeps that note and every reply beneath it out of /latest and /hot. If used on a reply, only its direct parent starts in the conversation; people who reply or are mentioned inside the whisper branch join it. Followers of tags in the whisper branch also receive it in for you. The conversation remains public on profiles, tag pages, threads, and permalinks. Not for private messages. It’s simply a way to keep a conversation out of people’s normal feeds. #metanotesenter to follow

Made another important decision to remove all counters β€” notes, replies, following, followers β€” from both people and hashtags, so you focus on the content not the numbers. It was creating competition which feeds the dopamine system, which we have exhausted and try to avoid. #meta
I made and a repost on Hacker News. More than 100 users signed up. Feels great! #tlognotesenter to follow

I noticed that when I changed my handle, it redirects the old handle to my new handle. Will this always be the case? How are old mentions handled in comments? Also, what is to stop someone from changing their handle thousands of times to β€œsquat” on handles? I see there’s a limit 2 handles per month you can create. Does the handle change count toward that? #metanotesenter to follow

While I’m enjoying working on this #HTMLnotesenter to follow-only site, I miss the #funnotesenter to follow dealing with #frontendnotesenter to follow #JSnotesenter to follow. I’m thinking of doing a sister-project where you can record shareable voice-snippets which can then be embedded in #textlognotesenter to follow and elsewhere by their permalinks.
Increased character limit to 500. I was hitting the limit way too often and I noticed a lot of posts needed 2 posts back to back to express fully. It should be plenty now, it aligns as well with Mastodon’s limit if we want in the future to enter the Fediverse/ActivityPub. #tlognotesenter to follow #featurenotesenter to follow

I’m trying to avoid what I call β€œThe Weather Widget Effect”. Back in β€˜00s every website had a weather widget bc everyone else had it and they felt they should also. Didn’t feel complete otherwise. Just bc everyone is doing it doesn’t mean it’s correct or fits with your goals. #metanotesenter to follow
Trying out a new feed view where conversations are deduplicated and assembled into tree views, might make it easier to follow a convo by reading it naturally, though it loses some of the chronological sorting. Let’s see how it goes. cc @hotterprofileenter to follow#Emacs, dev, life, random stuff. the netherlands. suggested this kind #metanotesenter to follow
I think this is trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist on this platform. I would predict that any sense of "timelessness" will come from #tlognotesenter to follow's plaintext-centricity and feature minimalism, not a lack of timestamps.
I want to avoid the β€œrush” of living on the edge all the time. Want to slow things down, put some thought, make browsing a profile look like reading one’s thoughts like a book. To feel timeless.
We have polls! The way to create one: you write the question, put the hashtag #poll followed by the answers each in its own line. Simple. #tlognotesenter to follow #featurenotesenter to follow

The meeting went well and all the topics we discussed were on a positive direction for #textlognotesenter to follow! Main point is we are now a legal entity and we can receive funds and β€”more importantlyβ€” grants, in order to keep this project alive and healthy. Our main goal is now growing the site.
On a call with them in about an hour to learn details. Will share.
Made an important decision today to remove bots entirely from #tlognotesenter to follow. @hn10 was deleted and we’ll no longer have bot accounts and they won’t be accepted into the platform. It was an experiment but I felt it was diluting the conversations and the cozy human character of #textlognotesenter to follow.
Ran out of issues to work on, again. I hate it when this happens. Moving too fast with #AInotesenter to follow has this disadvantage, no time to think ahead. Any ideas? #tlognotesenter to follow
and I thought the site was finished and I had nothing else to add when I #launchnotesenter to follow'ed it. How naive. I've done so much work since then and every day is full of issues to work on. #tlognotesenter to follow
