🗞️ Polls! Capsuleers on Station can now ask for advice in a more structured way via polls. Add a poll to your post by starting any newline with the following syntax:
[POLL <question>] <option 1> | <option 2> | <option N>
For example:
[POLL So, polls on Station are pretty cool, right?] Nope | Hell yeah! | I couldn't care less
Posts can only have 1 poll (anywhere in the post), and polls can have between 2 and 5 options.
Polls are displayed in posts as a dynamically-updated text graphic showing the current results and voting numbers:
• POLL: So, polls on Station are pretty cool, right? • · · · Results · · · · [1] 0% • Nope (0 votes) · · [2] 0% • Hell yeah! (0 votes) · · [3] 0% • I couldn't care less (0 votes) · · · • ·················································· •
To vote in a poll post a reply containing the text "[N]" (anywhere in your reply), where N is your vote number (1-5). For example:
Yeah, I like polls, so I'll vote [2].
For each user, only the last vote cast is counted – to change a vote just reply with a new one.
Happy voting!
🗞️ Query optimisations! Station is now travelling through space even quicker than before.
🗞️ Extra station activity – the homepage now shows the latest 30 logs instead of 10. Thanks @kevinsan.
🗞️ Log archive – on the account page, you'll find a "Your Archive" link which shows a complete list of your own logs. Thanks @dimitrigorvachov.
🗞️ Tinylogs – at the bottom of any user's logs you'll find a "Tinylog Feed" link, letting you "follow" that user outside of Station. See https://codeberg.org/bacardi55/gemini-tinylog-rfc for more info about Tinylog. Thanks @skyjake and @bacardi55.
🗞️ Newlines are now preserved in posts. If your browser allows you to enter newlines, Station will make sure they stay in your post.
🗞️ You can now use ``` and > lines in your posts for rendering code/ASCII art and quotes.
🗞️ Station now supports search. A search for "foo bar" (without quotes) matches all logs and replies containing either word. A search for "foo AND bar" will find results with both "foo" and "bar". Happy searching!
🗞️ In addition to bio, image and location, you can now add a link to your profile.
🗞️ Notifications are now shown on the homepage (thanks @bobby).
🗞️ On the homepage you'll also now find Station diagnostics, showing some basic stats.
🗞️ You can now mention other users by using an @ symbol before their username. If you're mentioned in a log or a reply, you'll receive a notification to let you know 👊.
🗞️ First Station release 🚀.
