I have it strong, very strong too. But, come one, it will be nothing in comparison! Add it, let us test it, and see how it goes? After all, how many of both have we seeing?

But I tried it and it doesn't look good. It can't look like the quote's bg so it has to be different color, but then you have two colored boxes of different color next to each other, it becomes a circus.

True (about the colour next to each other, and elephants bouncing balls). LOL. Let’s see how it goes. I have no need right now, let's hope the change last long enough so that when inspiration comes I can see how it looks. Either way (stay or not), thank you for being flexible!

Jeez I tried it I'm not going to try it again only to dismiss it again. Try it and see. One extra colored box breaks the visual rhythm and adds little value, only makes that post more distracting than the rest, which is something I try to avoid. I try to keep equal visual weight.

Both LaTeX and code blocks now have no background. LaTeX separates itself by the different font, and code by the different font color. It's enough visually.

Possible to make the email portion a bit less vendor agnostic? For those of us using Sendgrid, or Cloudflare for transactional emails, that is. #metanotesfollow

Right now, on the .env we have: RESEND_API_KEY= EMAIL_FROM="textlog <hello@textlog.cc>" # Development only: send real transactional emails through Resend (default: false). DEV_RESEND_EMAILS=false It is tight up to Resend, correct?

I was thinking… will it be possible to make textlog decentralised? Keeping the same functionality, but allow self-hosters to interact with other self-hosters, that is. #metanotesfollow

You mean federated. I did a small investigation, it's not impossible but not sure if it's worth it. It is a huge architectural change and would require a ton of maintainance, and our current scale doesn't justify it. I feel the centralized character has some charm also.

Implemented a db /dump.zip - it contains all the data needed if you want to reconstruct a frozen view of the entire site - but without exposing any sensitive information. It updates daily and should address some of the concerns regarding being a "silo". #tlognotesfollow #featurenotesfollow

Organically. Also not growing isn’t a bad thing. Was the aim to be huge? I have witnessed that smaller communities last longer, and work better. Knowing the people you interact with is a perk.

A lot of people write so much software to sandbox their AI agents. I say don't bother. Just give your agent its own non-admin local user account. It's easier and much more effective.

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.

Your email, and the magic link, are your password. First time you encounter this approach? It is very common with many open source apps.

Password is way more convenient IMO. Takes 3 seconds to log in rather than 60 (I timed it: open webmail, log in, open textlog, submit email, wait for email, click link) and I have to do this every time because the browser is set to clear all cookies on exit

Found the use for it just now. 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.

Good catch! 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.

Maybe frontend clients can be left to implement more of these nice-to-haves to cater to specific audiences. That's also why I started building a flutter client for #tlognotesfollow .

That would make sense, I agree. Did you pick Flutter because it is easier to develop cross platform?

Yes, exactly! I really like how mature and robust it feels to work with, especially since I don't necessarily want to deal with too much platform-specific headaches (last iPhone I owned was the 4S on release).
