I would love to have a way to subscribe (as described in [0]) to selection of boards. For example, quering /sub?boards=foo,prog,anime could return a page with new messages on foo, prog and anime boards

@59 that was a cool suggestion, thanks

the spec they describe is relatively loose but i wanted to adhere to it as closely as possible which meant not having timestamps in the dates though if that ends up being a problem then i can change it to have the time in there anyways. otherwise it truncates the comments and caps the posts out at 50. let me know if this works for you!

a link for example:

gemini://IIch.space/recent?lit,prog

@70 this is exactly what I meant! You shipped it so quickly, thanks

@72 glad to help, let me know if you have more ideas

i've been thinking about adding a way to sign posts. something like a tripcode but by just providing a cert you can have `Post a reply` alongside `Post a signed reply` and it would add some sort of hash or replace the `Anonymous`. maybe useful for OPs to verify they're the OP? thoughts?

—

Anonymous · 7mo · No.79

@77 I would definitely use that :) It would be useful for everyone - I want to be sure that you know that I am the same guy who wrote @59 and @72

—

Anonymous · 7mo · No.80

Oh, maybe you should make the part of message that has Anonymous, time and No into a small header. It would be easier to distinguish different messages in a thread

—

Anonymous · 7mo · No.84

@80 I wonder if header, or link that auto-inserts the @ID reply?

—

Anonymous · 7mo · No.87

@84, hmm, how would you make it obvious to user? AFK, there is no way to send "initial text" along with 10 code to client side

—

sk!_gaAry-2 · 7mo · No.91

@79 so here is the first signed message, if you choose on your client to use a cert it should have two links at the bottom you can use. i should maybe show what signature you would be posting with... i'll put that in later. it replaces the `Anonymous` in the post title line so should be easy to keep track of

—

sk!_gaAry-2 · 7mo · No.93

also the signature is randomly generated based on your client cert and a salt so apparently my name is gaAry now

—

andrew!z8MmXsU4 · 7mo · No.94

okay, here it goes

—

andrew!z8MmXsU4 · 7mo · No.95

Well, I can't read that 😛 This is good enough, thank you. But... you may like to experiment, I don't know? You could try generating "name" from syllables, like some password generators do

I feel bad for suggesting to many things, better work less and not burn out :)

—

sk!_gaAry-2 · 7mo · No.96

what if the hashed signature were consistent, but an option to have a "name" that can precede the !. so you can change your name however much you want and there can even be collisions with others if they also want to be named gary, but the signature suffix is consistent so "gary!_gaAry-2" and "gary!z8MmXsU4" are able to still be differentiated

—

Anonymous · 7mo · No.99

@96 this is how it's done on most imageboards these days so I like that

—

sk!_gaAry-2 · 7mo · No.101

alright! names can precede the hashes now. if you're using a cert, there's a link to change it at the bottom of the index page for now

—

sk!_gaAry-2 · 7mo · No.135

i tried actually subscribing to the feed page i put up and saw it was borked because individual posts could link to the same thread with the same url and would not show for each item. they all now link to absolute paths for each one so feeds should update properly. i also put in a new param to the recents page so you can subscribe to all the boards at once instead of each of every one gemini://IIch.space/recent?all

gemini://IIch.space/recent?all

@2 What settings are you using for dithering and compression on /img? I like the effect and am considering using it on my own gemsite.

—

sk!_gaAry-2 · 7mo · No.245

@244 i'm using https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick to handle it all for me. i did try out using a png optimizer after the dithering step but it didn't do much better than what imagemagick already produces so i decided against having one more dependency. the exact command i use is

convert $INPUT -resize '512x512>' -ordered-dither o2x2,3 $OUTPUT

Update on previous feature request: maybe add `exclude` key to `/recent` endpoint? So one can exclude specific threads from subscription

—

sk!_gaAry-2 · 7mo · No.478

yeah for real. i just added muting threads. people can still post in them but they'll be confined to the threads themselves and won't bump recent posts or the feed. i went ahead and muted the obvious thread in question.

I really like your way of compressing images. Could you help me do the same for my gemlog?

—

Anonymous · 3mo · No.870

It would be great if URLs were automatically made into gemtext links somehow? E.g replace the url with a number [1] and then put links as footnotes or something. Its a huge pain having to copy paste on mobile.

—

Anonymous · 3mo · No.871

i believe that's already the case you can paste links like this gemini://iich.space/ inline and then they show up at the bottom of posts. works with https://gemini.circumlunar.space/ non-gemini links as well

gemini://iich.space/

@870 i just now realized that maybe you are only looking at posts on the front page. the links for posts only show up under the posts on the threads pages so as to keep the front page slim

hi! just wanted to ask if you could add (small) separators between posts; it's a bit of a pain to differentiate them ><

Anonymous · 1mo · No.962

sk in all seriousness what were you honestly expecting when you created an anonymous board? It seems like you have unrealistic expectations which leads to antagonizing the few people who actually use your site. This is the nature of anon boards. theres going to raunchy language, horrible opinions, and terrible people. Stop trying to police the few people actually contributing to it just because you dont like what they say or talk about. Whats the proverb again, something about not being able to have your cake and eat it too?

—

they didn't even delete the posts they complained about, I wouldn't call this "police"

sk!45bJnc3j · 1mo · No.968

>>962

i just expected something a bit more chill. keeping iich up makes me feel at fault for giving its content a platform. some of what's been on the front page makes me feel embarrassed, so i just omit it from that list since i'd rather not actually delete anything

>>874 >>965

around the time of 874 i had just had a quick dialog on station about the layout choices and probably felt pretty defensive about changing anything. i thought the '\n Anonymous - Xh - No. X' would suffice as a separator between posts, but what were you thinking you'd want? maybe an mdash or something between posts?

—

Anonymous · 1mo · No.969

>>968

i see, actual "separators" are sufficient on some threads, but like some dashes would be cool imo

your post is also a good example, at first i thought it was two different posts

it's not really a big deal but i think it can make the threads easier to read

also since this is the suggestions thread, an anon mentioned greentexts in an old thread, why not remove the formatting disable character?

indicating the board next to the username on the front page would be nice too

—

sk!45bJnc3j · 1mo · No.970

mdashes now punctuate posts, and board next to name is in now, thanks for those suggestions. allowing blockquote is in now also, but it makes a lot currently look rather terrible in lagrange... let’s see how it feels

—

Anonymous · 1mo · No.971

>>970

thanks! the dashes work pretty well i think

for the quotes, maybe disabling them when encoutering ">>[integer]" would fix the formatting?

there's the other option, using ansi escape codes to make real greentexts, it should work pretty much everywhere since lagrange is the only GUI client afaik

—

sk!45bJnc3j · 1mo · No.972

>>971

ansi coloring is a great idea, i much prefer this to the blockquote formatting. lagrange supports terminal escape sequences now apparently so it doubly works out

I'm getting that this wont display text correctly because of ANSI styling in lagrange, anyone else?

—

Anonymous · 1mo · No.978

>>977

lagrange puts this warning since it doesn't fully support every ansi escape codes, but with simple text coloring it should be working

—

Anonymous · 1mo · No.979

have to say it looks bad on clients that do not support ansi styling and show garbled text and numbers

—

Anonymous · 1mo · No.982

which clients?

maybe the gemini spec should forbid ansi escape codes since it complexifies parsing, and breaks the "no styling" rule (that would be a shame for iich, though)

>>976 looks like maybe teal is the only practical color left (checking on light and dark lagrange schemes), we could try that out
