Day 4 of - growth has stagnated, but we're already a good bunch! I've made the public for transparency instead of posting them here manually, you can take a look! No sensitive information there. It was a good launch.

This website is what William Gibson would call an "interstitial zone" - it can afford to be easy and open because it's so obscure. If it starts throwing up Cloudflare captchas we'll know its days are numbered...

At work I get my personal emails on my mobile device, but I am accessing textlog on the desktop. Getting a magic link on my mobile doesn't help me at all getting logged in on desktop. Enter the old, venerable, password.

I've added yet another option, you can enter the six-digit code manually in the "Check your email" screen instead of the magic link. This should cover this case without the need to enable password.
Big for the flutter app.
Writes are now native! Frontend post filters, account details, etc. Eager to hear what you guys think to iron out inevitable quirks.

I did make a for API writes. I understand its controversial, though quite necessary for any client to be built around . Curious to see if it lands (my flutter app is dying to consume it lmfao)
It's ! Have fun with your client :) thanks!
Big! I'll keep the community posted on the improvements as they come
Do you think it's easy to publish it to the App Store? I've never done mobile dev.

The styling parts, I'm not so sure, it will make the text look more busy, which will go against the minimalist aesthetic.
curious if you intend the URL to count for the character limit, or only the link text?
Right now all of it counts against the limit because the textarea has a hard character limit and there is no way without using JS to change this.
How long before browser extensions appear to add interactivity? I struggle to remember handles to reply or exact hash-tags.
No js is very limiting, let’s see when you give up ;-)

creator of textlog, fyi, iCloud puts emails from textlog to Junk => login flow via magic link isn’t very handy. I think one thing could be done in post text-area, that hashtags and mentions should be suggested if user types ‘#’ or ‘@’ and then starts typing. Although I know this would be already in the list.

"Beware those that would deny you access to information, for in their heart they dream themselves your master." — Sid Meyersreplied to:Not without JS, that I know of.
I did something else that didn't need JS - the first tab becomes a button pointing to "write" and moved the "skip to content" to the second tab. So the workflow is "tab -> enter" takes you to write. Hope this helps!
client new version ! Optional core Markdown support, simple themes, read-only profile display support.
Next I would like to try and get the app on the Play Store for convenience.
hey I see a lot of spamming on the
/posts/NNN/replies endpoints in the logs, are these intentional? They might cause rate-limiting. now has session caching for replies and threads. Should be a lot more conservative on hitting those endpoints.
Another thing I'm noticing is the firehose endpoint is reconnecting every few seconds instead of being kept alive. Is this a limitation of some sort of the EventSource client you're using? Because it might omit some messages, the reconnection doesn't do any replay.
Ty for the informal beta testing hahaha
I've found that the connection drops from the server's heartbeat are treated as errors by my client. Pushing a fix in 0.0.6 to reconnect quick and reconcile missed msgs.
