Flancia Meet
- We meet best-effort every Saturday usually around 9 UTC.
- This is where we have community maintained notes :)
- [[bouncepaw]] [[flancian]]
- Greetings!
-
Soups, pros and cons
- Chicken soup in the witch’s cauldron
- Should we meet some day in Moscow?
-
On ephemeral artifacts (e.g. chat as it is in matrix) vs persistent (e.g. agoras)
- Why the distinction/hard cut?
-
About Borges…
-
Right to be forgotten
- But what about [[Max Brod]]?
- And what about consent?
- [[bouncepaw]] [[flancian]]
-
[[AI revolution]]
- in many senses?
-
revolutionize/disrupt work:
- tough for junior developers
- yet the code being generated is still kind of bad
-
aid the revolution
- seems potentially unlikely, maybe counterproductive as it will allow corporations to concentrate the power
-
[[bug hunting]]
- difficult without whole-system intuition
- hard to track bugs
- plans for the weekend
-
[[betula]] update
-
[[archiving]] shipped!
-
next step: search each other bookmark’s without leaving betula
- [[agora search]] could be implemented along these same lines?
- and [[remarks]] :)
- [[syncthing]] sharing
- [[bhi backups]]
- [[mycoverse search]]
-
[[agora oauth]]
- maybe the time is coming?
-
what could a user do once logged in?
- edit?
- -> [[bull]] and multi user hosting
- [[]]
- [[Eduardo Mercovich]] [[Flancian]]
-
Saludos!

git.agor.ai is down
- bouncepaw is not really surprised
- flancian isn’t either :)
-
The secret [[zine]] coming this summer
-
Shall be published under a pseudonym.
- I’m not telling the pseudonym though teehee.
-
What about long term?
- Ideally there would be subtle cues
-
No digital version shall be released.
- The humanity shall distribute it hand-to-hand :-)
-
I’m not deleting old stuff, I’m curating.
- Makes sense, different styles is good
-
On writing to our [[Max Brods]]
- As an open letter? Or maybe even a traditional one
-
[[Saint-Petersburg]]
- [[cathedrals]]
- played [[go]]
- architecture looks sometimes very much like [[paris]] (hausmann style)
- books books
- tasty food
- met [[grishka]] and [[danila]] and other people
- cool city!!
-
About [[immortality]]
- Different takes, different paths
- On preserving the body vs trascending it
-
[[time]], [[monasteries]]
- could we have an [[atheist monastery]]?
- totally — a humanist one?
- some buddhist ones are atheist probably ;) and there’s probably many atheists in monasteries of all kinds
-
[[haiku]]
-
[[flancian]] doing generally cleanup and planning :)
- installed [[llm]] CLI by [[simonw]] and had fun after setting up API keys for: [[openai]] [[mistral] [[google]]
- [[gemini]] was the hardest (needlessly, as usual) because I had to use a VPN to be able to create an API key due to random enterprise-y large-company restrictions
- [[flancian]] doing generally cleanup and planning
- [[bouncepaw]] [[flancian]]
-
[[bouncepaw]]
- doing chores
- finishing the exams
- waiting for [[shawarma]]
-
[[flancian]]
-
plans for the weekend
-
@bouncepaw@links.bouncepaw.com lost all followers while trying to fix the database
-
resubscribe
- done!
- the receiving server must respond to a follow with accept follow — which panda.anagora.org doesn’t do currently
-
[[federated search]] seems interesting but not a priority
-
[[opensearch]] sounds fun
- should add this to [[betula]] and [[mycorrhiza]] too
- [[chromium]] is a bit of a pain to deal with, but when it works it’s great
-
[[flancian]] sharing work plan, fediverse/sqlite/neobooks as per today’s journal
- [[neobooks]] concept
- embedding
- [[oembed]] might have been effectively replaced by [[opengraph]]
-
[[transclusion]] seems key, but [[agora speed]] is probably a painpoint that is relevant — people would not transclude the agora if it’s super slow
- on the other hand, it should be cached?
-
[[federation]] overall is more important than [[federated search]]
Later on…
-
[[flancian]]
- testing https://anagora.org/flancia+meet in the Agora
- Framatalk (meeting name flancia-meet, it doesn’t support pluses or many other characters out of the box) embeds very nicely.
- I like having the video and the document side by side.
- will be doing [[agora development]] here for a while
- Hiatus due to holidays :)
- tried another VC platform but it wasn’t very featureful yet (maybe because it’s a demo)
-
[[bouncepaw]]
- interview at end of Sep
- six months of work/internship would cover rent for many semesters
- going through emails
-
[[flancian]]
- will try to focus on some small items this weekend/cleanup
- found a [[PR]] thanks to bouncepaw’s mentions of emails
-
servers
- bouncepaw has a 1 GB server
- got access to flancian’s servers
- [[flancian]] wants to run a [[gotosocial]] instance
-
Haircuts
- both used to have long hair at some point
-
[[bouncepaw]]
-
comic can be turned in as is, but polishing for a better result
- [[the lower tier]]
-
takes place in a great megastructure city
- lower tier, machines
- habitable tier, people
- cosmo tier, for transportation
- a journey into the lower tier to find a lost book
-
[[flancian]] made me think of:
-
takeaways from doing a comic
- shouldn’t have done it in paper first, extra work with little benefit
- fully digital panels are better
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jew%27s_harp
-
[[I am a strange loop]]
-
scales for consciousness/soul
- "souls: a little needed feature"
-
no [[soul]] in the Agora
- …or is there? :)
- backlinks, etc.
-
[[agora chapter]] in [[pkg book]]
- have it on kindle but I haven’t read it yet! maybe in August
- Attending: [[bouncepaw]] [[flancian]]
-
[[nethack]]
-
[[bouncepaw]]
- completed second year!
- passed important exam with a 4 (which is good)
- rules changed for one exam at the last minute
-
[[flancian]]
-
[[betulagora]]
-
what’s next?
- automatic sync
- issue with empty nodes
- Attending: [[bouncepaw]] [[flancian]]
-
Flancian turned on the camera and left
- 8 minutes on the balcony
- Then he walked with a cup
- Then he had sound issues
- :D
- Then Flancian showed up after a ping (thanks!) :)

- bouncepaw: allowlist/pull federation, friends circle
-
why federate Agora?
- Attending: [[aldhari]] [[flancian]]
-
Plan for [[2023]].
-
Options
-
[[Portugal]]
-
[[Spain]]
- visa is harder
- Mohammed would prefer Spain if all other things are equal
-
Studies
-
Previous experience
- Store keeper
- Rubber industry
-
Next actions
- Mohammed: Prepare [[CV]]
-
Mohammed: continue working on github.com account
- Mohammed: Write [[plan]] for Spain or Portugal
- Eduardo: Write [[scholarship grant]]
- Both: Run through some lawyer
-
Mohammed: get bank account
- Attending: [[neil]] [[flancian]]
- January was birthday season, February is quieter :)
- Attending: [[bouncepaw]] [[j0lms]] [[flancian]]
- New official pronunciation of j0lms: Holmes, like Sherlock Holmes.
-
Tea and coffee.
- [[Chamomile]] ~ [[manzanilla]]
- [[Caffeine]] effect on body
- Insomnia dangers
-
Trouble with sleeping as endemic?
- One factor is likely the extra exposure to light due to computers and devices around
- Maybe also the focus?
-
How we use our time / why we stay up :)
- Mobile devices and snapping out of them
-
Replacement therapy?
- Keep books around the bed
- Read books before sleeping
- Buddhism -> Siddharta
-
#push [[Hermann Hesse]] [[The Glass Bead Game]]
- Timur is 19 (!)
- On rereading books and essays you’ve read a long time ago
-
[[j0lms]] a game: [[swat 4]]
- Did not have auth for cd keys, as one of the few games with online multiplayer even if it was pirated.
- Lying about your age to participate.
-
[[missed connections]]
-
[[FOTL]] and [[interwiki links]]
- Because URLs exist already and they work, we need to justify the addition of interwiki links
-
[[wikilinks]] do not make wikis.
- What is massive about [[massive wiki]]? It’s its massive intentions!
-
What do we think about the [[indieweb]]?
-
[[agora 2023]]
-
[[mastodon]]
-
on the signup experience
- [[mastodon app]] on android is pretty good at this
- now we have joinmastodon.org which is pretty good too, but very mastodon specific
- it’s very much not about the wider fediverse
-
engagement and discoverability
- discovery is hard
- the maybe over-stressing of mastodon in everything mastodon related w.r.t. the wider [[fediverse]]
- we want [[pluralism]], but [[mastodon]] is a bit of a monoculture currently?
-
[[betula]] release announcement
- Attending: [[bouncepaw]] [[handlerug]] [[flancian]]
-
[[bouncepaw]] Crazy week, lots of social activity, but nice
-
[[merveilles migration]]
- https://merveilles.town/@bouncepaw
- will try the migration flow tonight
- user information is updated daily ([[handlerug]] read the code); now a new user has been fetched, you need to wait ~1d for it to be refetched
- TLDR: set up redirection first, then make the last post on the old profile (in future migrations)
- pronounced close to [[mahr vei]]
-
[[flancian]] [[agora chapter]] is current focus for this weekend
- also [[social coop]] admin / on call
- broken registration flow because of spam trap
- https://social.coop/about
-
[[spam trap]] was triggering
- hidden field, supposed to be left empty
- but the field was named ‘surname’
- so autocomplete engines were triggering and filling it in, thus making it trigger for normal users
- [[in the arcades]] is a good [[hypertext]] book
-
[[planning]] the weekend :)
-
[[bouncepaw]]
-
assignments
- calculus: Gotta prepare for the pseudo-exam, don’t wannaaaaa
-
creativity: I don’t like the assignment, might ignore it
- english: Done already
- mathematical logic: Will ignore
- probability theory: I didn’t take the copybook here, so I can’t do it (what a shame)
-
object oriented programming: Don’t wanaaaaa, I hate Visual Studio aaaa
- issues with hardware / memory limitations
- finish the merveilles migration
-
work on [[mycorrhiza]]!?
- haven’t really put a lot of effort in two months
-
[[flancian]]
- [[agora chapter]] in good shape by tomorrow night, hopefully by tonight
-
two feature requests
-
[[interwiki]] support in anagora.org
- -> hopefully by mid November
-
[[bouncepaw]] [[jonny]] tried using the colon syntax with the bot at some point
- write a long form answer to [[bouncepaw]]‘s great questions about the future that were asked in private messages :)
-
[[agora ux improvements]]
- I have a laundry list of small improvements to the UI that I hope to start going through
-
[[agora bot]] has some bugs
- might fix them? like hashtag handling
- then try to move to writing through api.anagora.org
-
[[handlerug]]
-
[[html]] tag
<details>
-
[[handlerug]]
- in maybe temporary location, liking [[Istanbul]]
- many friends are attending university back in Russia and that should be safe for them; drafting is very rare for university students
- IT workers do get drafted often (in 2022) but it doesn’t usually happen with students
- [[flancian]] know first and second-order Russian friends in Turkey, Israel
- Attending: [[bouncepaw]] [[flancian]]
-
[[computer typesetting]] course
-
[[planning]]
-
[[agora bridge]]
- -> fix twitter bot, refactor (ideally with code sharing between [[mastodon]] and [[twitter]])
- -> bring up one API method, likely to write to a node (so agora server ui can write through the api)
-
[[agora server]]
- [[canonical nodes]] -> move to + / urlencoded across the board (would like to discuss)
- fix bug with wikipedia [[autopull]] (do not pull if the user has pulled already, I knew this didn’t work but I coded it lazily anyway)
-
[[agora]]
- update [[hypatia]] (agor.ai)
- bring up another Agora (which one? shamanic? but I don’t have repositories for that from the group yet? zero precedent maybe, or [[ogm]] as there’s [[Jerry’s Brain]])
-
[[stoa]]
- oauth for hedgedoc?
-
I sometimes miss the simplicity of [[etherpad]] (also thinking of Microsoft Word / [[WYSIWYG]])
- There was supposed to be a plugin (or fork?) of [[etherpad]] supporting [[wikilinks]] but I never found it.
-
[[slugging]]
- ‘Hello World!’ -> ‘hello-world’
- s/[ !?^]+/-/g
- [[Flancia meet]] is https://anagora.org/flancia-meet
-
I liked this a lot when starting, made things easier. The advantages are:
- mapping between web apps
- there is 1:1 mapping between Agora nodes and HedgeDoc, because HedgeDoc uses slugs
- same with Jitsi Meet, flancia-meet works as well
-
Disadvantages are:
-
Alternative: urlencoding
- %20 and such
-
cons:
- in a non latin script (like cyrillic)
-
pros:
-
Alternative: remain with slugs for most URLs, but preserve full query information in a query parameter
- Are [[IRIs]] not working in browsers? they seem to mostly work nowadays?
- input: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Заглавная_страница
-
output:
- [[IRIs]]: why are they not more widely supported?
-
urllib.parse.quote_plus(s):
-
[[punycode]]
- ü -> tda (transliterated as ue)
- α -> mxa (alpha? alf?)
- ‘To prevent hyphens in non-international domain names from triggering a Punycode decoding, the string xn— is prepended to Punycode sequences in internationalized domain names. This is called ACE (ASCII Compatible Encoding). Thus the domain name "bücher.tld" would be represented in ASCII as "xn—bcher-kva.tld"’.
-
Syntax ambiguities:
-
[[x/y]] in [[mycorrhiza]] and [[agora]] behaves very differently
- but it seems like we could easily make them compatible
-
[[infinitely nested hyphae]]
-
a cool idea
-
[[sibling hyphae]]
- implemented in the sidebar
- design mistake (maybe, in hindsight)
- this encouraged a certain user behaviour, where top level hyphae are category-like
- taxonomy / folksonomy
- the platonic problem of ontology
- [[banana]]: a [[tree]] and a [[fruit]]. where does it go?
-
This happens:
- in the Agora you could write [[microsoft ergonomic 4000]] and because the node view is actually always a collection / search results list (in a way), you would get [[keyboard/microsoft ergonomic 4000]]
- [[1]], [[2]], [[3]]
- new model (talking about events that are 6 months old or so) in mycorrhiza is more graph like
- [[strugatsky brothers]]
- https://melanocarpa.lesarbr.es/hypha/quadrat_48
- https://github.com/bouncepaw/mycorrhiza/blob/master/static/shortcuts.js
- https://github.com/madrobby/zepto [[zepto]] is a drop-in replacement for [[jquery]]
- Didn’t happen, [[flancian]] was travelling.
- Attending: [[flancian]], doing planning for the weekend and the upcoming trip.
- didn’t happen?
- [[flancian]] was travelling with family.
- It seems it didn’t happen ([[flancian]] had friends visiting).
- attending: [[j0lms]] [[protopian]] [[vera]] [[flancia]]
- agenda follows (first few items, then we can freestyle)
-
[[meta]]
- [[jitsi]] UI
-
[[immers space]] — we could test next time
-
[[time]]
-
coordinating time
-
would 9am Pacific work for you for a second meet, maybe [[agora meet]]?
- [[vera]] sounds good
- [[protopian]] could work some days, but not often, but earlier on Saturdays would be better
- [[j0lms]] that would be convenient on weekends but not weekdays
-
[[vera]]
-
[[j0lms]] interested on opinions on this article: https://www.otherlife.co/pkm/
- this reads antagonistic at once, but in the end it could be an argument for the agora
-
the tldr: [[pkm]] is a fad, actually has a great componet of [[status signaling]]
- but the Agora hijacks this self-interested pursuit for a pro social goal
- [[j0lms]] note that this aspect (towards collaboration) is what sold me on the agora
-
[[j0lms]] justin seems to think that intellectuals belong to a different class (paraphrasing)
- [[flancian]] unsure [[urbit]] is "worth it" overall, will read all this though!
-
[[flancian]] isn’t activitypub enough as a base for coordination/governance? to put it some way.
- [[j0lms]] venezuelan diaspora in mastodon example
-
[[flancian]]
-
[[moa]]
- [[j0lms]] it would be nice to have a [[code walkthrough]] to onboard contributors to [[agora]] and [[moa]]
-
[[elon]] buying twitter -> [[mastodon]] adoption uptick
- attending: [[j0lms]] [[protopian]] [[flancian]] :)
-
[[flancian]]
- away on holidays this upcoming week! in [[spain]] :)
-
[[protopian]]
- moving tomorrow, but nearby so not as stressful as it could be
-
#push [[shamanic coders guild]]
- lots of potential overlap with [[flancia]]
- would recommend checking it out!
- there’s a [[discord lounge]], channels with 6-7 people in them
- not lots of note taking yet but could happen?
- links do get dumped in associated channels
-
#push [[vibecamp]]
- was great, but maybe even better after the fact (stayed in [[austin]] for a bit with others)
- [[5 people]] seemed to be about the sweet spot for conversations to really shine
-
vibes:
- connecting with people
- building connections
- work comes after that, building on trust
-
[[interintellect salon]]
-
[[git]]
-
[[reading]]
-
[[tweets from]] series
- attending: [[bouncepaw]] [[flancian]]
-
[[university]] in [[russia]]
- can opt into [[midterms]] to get better scores (and of course more learning), depending on the teacher
- [[scholarships]] require very good grades and are only very few
- getting a scholarship after the beginning of the career is hard but it happens
- a year of education in [[kazan federal university]] costs [[1400 EUR]]
- [[10 EUR]]/month for dorm
- [[350 EUR]]/month is a normal "regular worker" salary
- [[1300 EUR]]/month would be a normal [[IT]] salary
- four years bachelors
- two years masters
-
curiosity: would you work for a [[faang]] or a company in that tier?
- [[flancian]] works in google
- [[bouncepaw]] is unsure, but will likely to agree, if it comes to that
- [[IT]] people are lucky
-
how to use our luck with high [[leverage]]
-
option: we could make our own companies
-
Flancia, Ltd.; Flancia Corporation
- nah, it could be reasonable but not what we’re after :)
-
[[transjovian council]] by [[alex schroeder]]
-
start a [[cooperative]]
- do [[altruism]]
- write a [[book]] / collect and spread [[memes]]
-
start a [[religion]] / [[cult]]
-
[[sikhism]]
-
sikhs help people, and wear turbans that let others know who they are
- wearing something/showing something to communicate values/goals seems like a good idea a priori
- but it could lead to oppression. Everyone wears something specific, and someone does not, the latter is a freak
- [[bahai]]
- [[jainism]]
- [[buddhist]] schools
-
start a [[club]]
-
digital groups are a new kind of groups. Historically speaking, they are the newest+youngest, despite being ~50 yo.
-
[[golang]] package names have repo urls in them
- git push to all giteas
-
[[twin pages]] by [[bill seitz]]
- Welcome to March!
-
attending: [[vera]] [[flancian]]
-
[[git rerere]]
- smarter conflict resolution/merges?
-
[[vera]]
-
got some code done on agora-ui -> gitea
- Currently writing to gitea api from agora-ui
-
[[oauth tokens]] from signin flow not authenticating
-
added settings to settings page for app token and repo name since user -> repo relationship is one to many
- refactoring settings page as well
- editor supports creating new nodes
-
[[pr]] for fixing assets
-
[[flancian]]
-
[[agora matrix bot]]
- now writes, will probably stop working on it for a bit
- [[maubot]] is cool but I haven’t figured out the debugging flow for bot plugins, it’s a bit hacky for now
-
bridges!
-
which ones can we develop/install/promote/run for others next?
-
[[matrix]] alternative instances
-
[[therapy]]
- [[flancian]] want to get an appointment with one to talk [[efd]] mainly
-
[[war]]
-
[[yoga]]
- [[checksums]] -> [[zooko wilcox]]
- [[john perry barlow]]
- attending [[vera]], [[flancian]]
-
[[ukraine war]]
-
[[nazi harassment]] in the [[fediverse]]
-
New meeting time?
- This one’s a keeper
-
Then for [[Pacific time]] it could be:
-
[[saturday afternoon]]
- perhaps not great because it might interfere with personal life more often? but it could work
-
[[sunday afternoon]]
- perhaps not great because it’s almost monday and that is a bit depressing sometimes? but it could be uplifting :)
-
[[wednesday afternoon]]
- could be cool, in particular when [[flancian]] takes wednesdays off!
-
#push [[do]]
-
How does everyone like jitsi vs something else (not google meet)
-
how is [[zebras]] going?
-
[[vera]]
- didn’t get much done since last time; dealing with life
-
planning on making commit to [[agora-api]] to handle
-
git file change stuff
- ostensibly this will accept a POST/PUT request to api with user/node/data combo and then write changes to disk and then create a git commit with those changes and push to gitea server using users logged in credentials
-
oauth integration
-
I don’t like the way that [[gitea]] handles oauth login from mastodon, you have to hard code each allowed host manually which I’m not a fan of. There are plenty of mastodon api apps that let you sign in via any mastodon server, I’m tempted to create our own oauth layer that talks to gitea behind the scenes
- we could go back to last year’s plan w.r.t. using [[moa]] for this: [[go/moa/git]].
- essentially add a [[git]] or [[gitea]] connector on top of twitter/mastodon
- we could also open a ticket with gitea to ask about supporting arbitrary mastodon instances
-
adding text editor to agora website for logged in users
- planning on using [[tinyMCE]] might use something else depending
- this will talk to the code in agora-api that I mentioned above on submit
-
[[flancian]]
- same here! :)
- my goal is to just go through the todo list I built last week :)
- [[agora bot matrix]]
- also [[fix gitea]] (certificate)
- look into [[git lfs]]
-
#push [[sign in button]]
- just add a sign in button :)
- by default it redirects to a ‘non implemented yet’ page with a description :)
- perhaps then it only lets you sign in with [[mastodon]], then we add others
- look into [[moa]] auth code
- attending [[vera]], [[bouncepaw]], [[flancian]], [[will]], [[neil]]
- building on the [[stoa]]
-
[[vera]]
- [[git write flow]]
- [[agora api]]
- [[gitea oauth]]
- we will commit to user repos if they are logged in
- [[flancian]] happy to work on this with you if you need anything
- [[flancian]] perhaps we could release the oauth sign in first?
- once we have this, we could finally start dumping social data for users if they want it
- you get your own personal data store
-
is [[logseq]] doing this?
- they used to, but apparently this is now removed or at least not front and center
- they may or may not use [[git]] for their planned hosting, actually we should check with them
-
[[ranking]] in the agora
- reddit-style upvoting?
-
action called uprank
- could do it in the stoa
-
stoa could be a log, like an action log
- various actions could be available
- works like a replay log
-
e.g. [[marx]] should autopull [[karl marx]]
- could have a persistent pull button, so next time agora knows to pull it
- e.g. like RT on Twitter started as a user text based action that twitter then codified?
-
stoa can provide a nice meta layer on top of people’s digital gardens
- e.g. use pull in the stoa without having to use it in own garden
-
it would work on trust on people not gaming the stoa
- trust based systems can be a good thing
- e.g. look at problems of trustless blockchain projects
- if instances are kept small, this is OK
-
[[flancian]] has been thinking about [[browse as]]
- related to concepts of [[liquid democracy]]
- could be a way of ‘previewing’ what it might be like before delegating something to someone else
- also relates to curation which is currently undervalued in social media
- lets you burst out of [[filter bubble]]
-
agora stoa is fully open…
- moderation policy needed
- anyone can edit stoa, what if e.g. end up with fascist subnode
-
difference between authentication and authorization
- ‘authentication is boolean, authorization is a list of permissions’ — [[vera]]
- could possibly have two stoas? one open to public, one more limited to agora users
- [[semi-permeable membrane]] in reference to commons. some boundaries are OK (needed in fact) to not ruin a commons.

[[reddy2go]] said we need [[bouncers]] and [[buddhas]] in communities
- bouncers repel violence
- buddhas try to foster community
-
[[neil]] likes the model of federation in mastodon — you have a local timeline, and you can prioritize trusted instances you federate with — but there’s always the federated timeline, and also you have blocklists
- e.g. poa.st and social.coop
- [[blockchain]] was a [[common blocklist]] project but didn’t seem actively maintained
-
[[weirder earth]]
- has a well maintained list but it seemed to have potential for false positives
- [[will]] going back to [[browse as]], you could have the concept of adopting someone else’s blocklist to trial it/help debug
- fascist vs shitposter
-
building "consensus" and group decision-making
- proposal and asking if anybody strongly disagrees
- [[zebras]] are experimenting with ~five types of governance tools
- consensus vs. consent
- upranking as a case study
- [[agora bot]]
-
[[upranking]]
- if you uprank something in your garden, maybe that means ‘send it above me’
-
or you might be saying that these two subnodes are related
- one is a comment or annotation of another?
- push to subnode?
-
possible distinction between garden, stream, comment nodes
- or perhaps it could be a star or a bookmark
- relative ranking is important
-
[[neil]] liked how [[ctzn]] did it — you could apply any action to any resource
- it could include emojis, but also arbitrary text comments that worked somewhat as [[tags]]
- you could then perhaps choose to ‘show me this node ranked by this particular user-defined ranking’
-
[[neil]] takeaway: let’s go into the [[stoa]] and start adding relationships between subnodes
- which actions, relationships, ranking of things will be converge on?
- [[vera]] one thing we can do: write down which one we uprank/like and why
-
[[metanode]] or [[supernode]]
- a local graph of nodes/subnodes (where the link may not just be that they are defined by a shared title)
- e.g. random/6
-
compatibility with [[mycomarkup]]?
- [[vera]] right now the parser is outputting pandoc ast
- [[bouncepaw]] thinking of working on a spec
- [[melanocarpa]] is the garden
- add an API for checking hypha existence
- attending: [[bouncepaw]] [[flancian]] (9AM) and [[vera]] joined later
- will probably do another one of these later in the day
-
[[bouncepaw]] issue with deep linking into a particular instance of these meetings notes
- [[push]] can be a solution (see above)
-
could also have a button with ‘create stoa’ that does node + timestamp concat (for example)
-
#push [[anchors]]
- how to determine scope for a #push (open problem in an Agora, beyond [[agora protocol]] limited implementation)
- heading/paragraph problem / [[anchoring]] problem
-
anchoring algorithms to deep link or transclude fragments of text from a note
- could what [[hypothesis]] do be reused to be resilient to edits?
-
a special anchor element:
-
it seems we could agree on how to generate anchor ids for blocks?
-
example things that could work :)
