Hot notes

@stagasprofilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlog When writing new messages on mobile, the formatting help overlay thing overflows the area where I believe it tries to display. I’m talking about the "@mentions and more" bit. I’m using Firefox, haven’t tried on a Chrome-based mobile browser. #metanotesfollow

there is a certain kind of anxiety karma points and like counts cause me that i can't really put my finger on it - something near the stomach - which is why this site has none of that and plan to remain that way. #tlognotesfollow

Small idea: add a form of acknowledgement for when you’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

In case you want to start or branch to a private conversation you can now use hashtag #private along with the mention of the handles of the users you want to include, and only you will be able to see it. #textlognotesfollow #featurenotesfollow

I appreciate text only, but what I enjoy the most — at the moment — is probably the theming in textlog. And at the moment I am on theme Sepia, btw. #metanotesfollow

is it intentional to hide the timestamps of each post? and why? #metanotesfollow

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 “squat” on handles? I see there’s a limit 2 handles per month you can create. Does the handle change count toward that? #metanotesfollow

OMG, look at the length of this URL! &3370&3370

I'm 55 and recently self-diagnosed as "fairly ASD with some ADHD" after watching a lot of youtube videos. It's been immensely helpful (to the point of bringing me to tears sometimes) in understanding the struggles I had when I was younger. It's also been very helpful in understanding what I can do currently to support myself and work with my brain instead of against it.

. Can something be done to make it neater? #metanotesfollow

You can now pin notes to the top of your profile notes and replies tabs by using the hashtag #pin — the newest note that has it wins on each tab. #tlognotesfollow #featurenotesfollow

#tlognotesfollow flutter #mobilenotesfollow has finally been revived and updated to match latest changes. Will have to iterate further naturally as new issues surface but I'm happy with what it's looking like.

You can add #textlognotesfollow to your iPhone’s home screen by using the Add to Home Screen option in Orion (I’m guessing Safari works the same way). It would then work as if it was a native app. #tipnotesfollow

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 @hotterprofilefollow#Emacs, dev, life, random stuff. the netherlands. suggested this kind #metanotesfollow

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. #metanotesfollow

I’m getting notifications for every note and reply, even from people I’m not following. Is this how it is supposed to work? #textlognotesfollow #tlognotesfollow

I just learned it is possible to follow people here ☺️ #metanotesfollow

Yet another “hot” algorithm tweak. You have fallen down the rabbit hole, those will never end. #tlognotesfollow

Very much enjoying @hn10’s notes in my feed, the summaries are pretty good and it’s not too noisy, and keeping the bots out of /latesttextlogallA quieter place for your thoughts. though was a golden choice. #metanotesfollow

You can now change the page size from /account/edit/appearance?tab=misctextlogenterA quieter place for your thoughts. so you have more to read before going to the next page. #tlognotesfollow #featurenotesfollow

Should we consolidate /for-youtextlogenterA quieter place for your thoughts. and /activitytextlogenterA quieter place for your thoughts. ? Basically get rid of activity and just put all in for you? Now the semantic difference is activity you can scan for direct interactions with you, where for you has also random public posts. #metanotesfollow

#tlognotesfollow #featurenotesfollow request - an option to show only "top-level posts" (idk what terminology to use here) on a user page, because this gives you a more focused sense of what that person is interested in, whereas with replies included it's kindof all-over-the-place.
