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

Added supportGitHubtextlog/.env.example at main ยท stagas/textlogtextlog.cc. Contribute to stagas/textlog development by creating an account on GitHub. for SendGrid and Google SMTP.

Well done! Google SMTP is bound to help quite a bit. SendGrid, with their growing pains and all, have a very generous free plan. Thank you!

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.

Links implemented! The styling parts, I'm not so sure, it will make the text look more busy, which will go against the minimalist aesthetic.

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?
@paratoner๐Ÿ˜Žprofilefollowreplied to@fastidiousprofilefollow"Beware those that would deny you access to information, for in their heart they dream themselves your master." โ€” Sid Meyers:
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).

How? I donโ€™t use Chrome, but assume it will work with Safari as well, right? How do you run the flutter app?

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.

Organically. Also not growing isnโ€™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.

Not huge -since it won't appeal to many- but at least 2 orders of magnitude bigger is the aim. With ~30-50k users I would be extremely happy.

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

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.

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

No, not the first time. Albeit, I prefer a password (or passkey now) for convenience.

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.

Brikka. Someone on HN mentioned it as great design. I looked it up and bought it after a while. It's been such a delight. Even the occasional brew gone wrong adds to the experience. v60 is also nice when I need it to slow down or be the experience a bit meditative. But Chinese tea is the best for that.

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.
