I've been caffeine-free for a week now, having successfully (and rather painlessly) eased myself off of coffee. I feel... fine? My energy levels are stabler. Quality of sleep has improved. It would probably be wise to repeat this every few months. Can't wait to get back to enjoying the occasional cup, though. ☕️

It's time to de-weed the #Lagrange to-do list. There are about 250 items on the list and I'm pretty sure I haven't even looked at the bottom 150 in the last twelve months. Some items are already taken care of and some have become obsolete. Some are too ambitious/far-flung to keep around in the list. I'm pretty sure I'll find enough small stuff to put together a v1.17 before focusing further on the v2.0 features.

Testing a toot via bbs.geminispace.org. This is supposed to go out through the u/skyjake Atom feed via feed2toot.

Welcome to Bubble @solderpunk!

I was mostly AFK last week, as we were on a vacation trip with the family. Let's say it was... eventful? Our 11mo soon-to-be-toddler wasn't really pleased with any of it. I suppose relaxation isn't really on the table when traveling with small children. 😓 It'll take a few days to recover from the trip, but this is a good opportunity to catch up on TV shows I've missed in recent months, like Last of Us and The Mandalorian S3.

BBS Archives — I've added a Gemfeed page for the Bubble archives exported from BBS. I'm not entirely happy with the general formatting of the pages, but it should suffice for now. I also toyed with generating a more book-like Gempub, but ultimately decided it wasn't worth it to make a completely different kind of rendering of the posts just for the exports. Now the implementation can use the same code for regular viewing and exporting.

Hmm, the new Bubble comment page could still need some tweaking. At least it should integrate the per-page notification list and maybe move the OP section always to the bottom, so the Later Comments are immediately visible. At the moment, the placement depends on comment sort order. The formatting of the comment itself should probably be changed to be same as on the main post page, i.e., move metadata below the content, but still keep the "Comment on:" at the top.

I'm trying to get more into a multi-window workflow with my personal use of Lagrange. Since the app was initially created with a single-window GUI, that's what I still typically tend to use. It's quite handy to keep two windows open, like now while writing this I can type in one window while keeping another open for unrelated things. (Like SpellBinding. 🙂) You could do the same with split view mode, but I like to the keep pinning enabled to help with hierarchical navigation, so the splits can...

Slowly getting Lagrange v1.16.4 out the door. To be clear, it's still stuck on the doorstep, not quite out the door yet. I've been trying to fix several small glitches/annoyances recently, but the nature of a truly cross-platform app is that doing changes on one platform will cause subtle issues on other platforms. Doubly so when dealing with a custom GUI toolkit. It's much like juggling lots of balls, or herding wild cats, or possibly juggling a bunch of cats.

Did some old-fashioned UI debugging to fix a couple of issues with Lagrange's multi-window behavior. One issue seemed to be an SDL bug, but it may have been a problem only on macOS.

What's in a Name — [gemini link] The domain name of this capsule has been a topic of discussion. I've already added an introductory text to the Help page that sheds some light on what's the deal here, but to further alleviate potential confusion, I've decided to switch this Bubble instance over to a subdomain. @jeang3nie suggested using "bbs", and I agree that is a nice choice because: Bubble is supposed to be a Bulletin Board System, not in the modems and telephone lines sense, but in the...

After getting used to editing content on Bubble using Lagrange, it feels so clunky to use `ssh` and `nano` to update the skyjake.fi capsule.

Almost time for Bubble v3. This week's update will be wide-ranging and has a couple of new feedback mechanisms in addition to the plain old Likes. But importantly, the style of feedback will be customizable in the site config and user settings. I will update the capsule to v3 sometime tomorrow. A little teaser: 🙏🔥🛂

Multiple people have requested an option to disable the Likes mechanism on Bubble. A site-wide configuration option and a per-user setting for this are coming in v3.0.

I've got "✏️ 3 drafts" staring at me here, but lots of coding to do. ☺️ It's nice having a place to keep gemlog ideas and general thoughts floating around until there's a suitable moment to finalize them. Since I'm on multiple devices/OSs, keeping drafts only on one would be cumbersome. I realized I can copy-paste the composer preview output and upload that to the gemlog so I can draft posts on Bubble and still publish them on the original site.

I think I've been approaching this Bubble notification suppression the wrong way. What I actually want is for all the enabled types to be emitted, so they can be grouped/combined together in a smarter way when rendering. For starters, I'll set up proper priority tiers for the notification types and ensure that from each grouping only the highest priority one is actually shown. The others can be silently discarded. Also, the flags determining which notifications you have enabled weren't...

Planning to upgrade GS.org to Bubble v2.0 in a few hours. Fingers crossed!

Bubble has now been running on Geminispace.org for a week, and I think things are going rather well. Here are some technical and non-technical observations.

Whenever I make a new Lagrange release, I wonder if it makes sense to start distributing the binaries via Gemini as well. It would be pretty trivial to offer downloads via git.skyjake.fi. Could give it a try at some point.

The Lagrange v1.16 release announcement has been written, so unless something explodes in testing v1.16.0 should be available tomorrow (Sunday 21st). With some of the past releases, it has taken me several days to properly describe all the changes. Thankfully, this release is smaller so I managed to write the post in an hour or so.

Making some nice progress with Lagrange v1.15.10 now. Come to think of it, it has been almost a month since the previous release and this is not strictly bug fixes, so I might as well semver it to v1.16. Not gonna have any huge new features, though.

In addition to the user and subspace exports, I'm thinking of doing a monthly Bubble export feature with all the posts that were made during a time window, or were commented on, across the entire site. I keep thinking these monthly archives would be similar to mailing list archives. They don't have to be presented in the same way, but they could be made available as static browsable Gemtext files on some different server.

Let's try some Lagrange dev liveblogging — I think if one already has a gemlog on their own capsule, they probably don't want to write too many long-form posts here. But the /u/ feeds are well-suited for microblogging, too, without the need for any custom scripting, SSHing, or other such solutions. The use case is exactly the same as on fedi, I suppose, but I don't feel like spamming a lot of low-level dev details there.
