I think it's really cool to see other articles with automatic translation.

So I tried the automatic article translation feature, but found that automatic translation only works in the browser; on mobile devices, you have to manually press the translation button.

I haven't been keeping up with updates as of late (MBA picking up pace and all), but I did get textlog on f-droid! So expect a smoother update experience through that as I find the time to fast forward some of the features I like.

Still in Quebec City, which has a pretty sizable street population once you come down from the hill where the tour groups go. We had to basically step over some guys sharing a glass pipe on the only stairs up the hill yesterday; I have teenagers so this bothered me. Later, my youngest and I were talking and he says "why don't the police do something about that?"
He's showing me the first season of Mob Psycho, so I say You know how Mob's little brother Ritsu wants to clean up the school so there are no people who will bully Mob, and so he allies with the power hungry student council president and frames all the bullies to get them expelled and the whole situation eventually becomes really corrupt and authoritarian and Ritsu feels to blame even though he started out with good intentions? Life is really like that...
And so my guess is that Quebec is in the portion of the cycle that's reacting to harsh and unfair policing of the past. Someday a mayoral candidate will get elected on the promise of cleaning it all up and the cycle will begin again. Anyway Mob Psycho is a good show.
it's unfortunate these kinds of obvious non-starters for a functional society can only ever be discussed on both extremes of the political spectrum. It shouldn't be a question that degeneracy has no place in public settings.

thanks for the pointers. I think I implemented some of those changes but I need to double check some of the new API endpoints. for now notifs aren't native to android, which makes them a bit Shakey, but the perk is there are no f-droid blockers for publishing so I'm planning that
v0.6.0 just cut, quite happy with the swipe gestures for replying, as well as some better caching / offline behavior on app cold start.
๐Ÿ”ฅ Thatโ€™s great! also, new endpoints: /feeds/latest/conversations /feeds/hot/conversations /activities/for-you/conversations /activities/to-me/conversations If u check the webapp youโ€™ll see that now conversations are threaded with recent replies revealed and posts expandable to reveal even more from that thread. These new endpoints deliver all that, so we move from strictly chronological to more โ€œrecent discussionโ€ based views. Just more work for the next versions :) lmk if you need smth

Repeating pronouns would not be confusing for me. It would serve to indicate that it's the prepositions which are the important part (which they are). Anyway the poll is now live at &2737

so we can see what the majority think. Side note: is there a better way to refer to one post in another like this than putting the whole URL in there?

Fantastic! About the post linking, Iโ€™ve thought about it and canโ€™t come up with a good solution. For now itโ€™s getting shrinked visually to /post/123 because itโ€™s the app domain. Any suggestions here?

I can't really think of anything better off-hand. You could overload the # some more and just follow it with the post number but then there would be chaos if anyone wanted a fully numerical hashtag which is going to happen at some point (new year, for instance). I like that it shortens it in the rendering as it stands - that's good enough for me. :)

That works nicely. Although again you will get unintentional usage because ~ followed by a number is often used to mean approximately that number. eg: "we're expecting ~100 people". You are also using it for strikethrough formatting. Looking at my keyboard the least ambiguous/overused symbol is probably the & - but I'm not sure if that's better overall.

Small idea: add a form of acknowledgement for when youโ€™ve read a reply/tagged post and do not want to quote reply to it necessarily. Could be as simple as a generic checkmark that has no toxic reward pattern attached to it. #metanotesfollow
Imho, these are just cravings. Dopamine is addictive like cocaine and weโ€™ve been trained by SM to seek the acknowledgement like drug addicts seek their next dose. I feel it degrades the quality of interactions. Forums donโ€™t have that, IRC doesnโ€™t have that, they work fine. Itโ€™s only recent media that added this engagement hook, โ€œseen by A, B, Cโ€, โ€œlikedโ€ etc.

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 Mastodonโ€™s limit if we want in the future to enter the Fediverse/ActivityPub. #tlognotesfollow #featurenotesfollow
Hey! Hope all is good with the move. We made quite a few changes. In a creative mood trying to figure out the final form still. Hope itโ€™s not too annoying keeping up, the API is still the same (with some additions). You can still render however you feel is better for your client.

Render Markdown isn't working (I am not logged in) while using the web version of the app (the only version I have played with).

Just tried logged in, using web, still the same, no Markdown rendering (looking at inline/block codes only). It doesnโ€™t render LaTeX either.
The big thing is to gather enough test users, and establish an audience within the required metrics for Google to allow us to publish it even as a fully free app. But In the coming days I'll at least get it to the alpha stage, send out test invites so that its more official.

Yeah, before you know it the feed becomes a collection of memes. Have to click or perhaps a browser extension that you personally see the opengraph/linked image in the feed but it's not inviting people to post them for the feed itself.

One idea off the top of my head is to just.. keep it "boring" and casual in terms of content. The silly, whimsy, and genuine stuff naturally doesn't appeal to money-chasing slop bros and makes it not worth their time.

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.
