That's so cool! Do you have any pictures of them? Old playing card designs can be really cool.

Discovered a box with various old playing cards, some more used than others, mostly French and German. Nothing particularly fancy, besides the rather large amount of decks that could keep several pubs entertained for hours.
Kind of makes me miss my poker group from school.

I got my submission for ROOPHLOCH in on time! The client wasn't mentioned on the main post but I'm there along with 15 others who participated in the list of posts!
I also said in my ROOPHLOCH post that I'd release the source for the client!
It's really messy, and was hacked together in about a week, so don't expect a beautiful elegant codebase or anything, it's a giant main.c (err... sockets.c, it was based off the devkitpro sockets example for TLS connections)
There's also tons of bugs and only one page of history (that's cached at least!)
Also you can quit at any time by pressing START.
Anyways, enjoy!

Oh man September is almost over, I really need to go biking and finish my ROOPHLOCH post.
On an unrelated note, I've been having a lot of fun recently with my work. I started getting burnt out with the task at hand, but then I figured out how to make it fun again lol. Promotion/raise time is coming up soon too, within the next 3 months. Excited for that!

I'm definitely past the worst of it now which is good. It's crazy that it's been like 5 days since I tested positive, just flew by.
I'm mostly just getting the phlem and drainage out. Still pretty tired though.
In an unrelated note, I started playing Magic: The Gathering for the first time like two days ago. It's SO fun.

Less than a minute ago I pushed the final commit absolutely /needed/ to let my 3DS client do what it needs to for ROOPHLOCH!
I'm really excited to write my little blog post with it lol. I'm going to some time this week.
The weather isn't going to be great the next few days sadly, but hey. Gives me more time to work on making the client look better and function better too lol. Kind of held together with sticks and glue, but the structs and general execution flow are really solid.
I'll unprivate the repo after cleaning it up!
After making the UI look a little better I'll send some screenshots Sunday!

It isn't at the moment, but it is source controlled in a private repo! I'm gonna take a look at that bug real quick and see I can figure that out.
That being said, most of the capsule was built off of a python library a wrote in conjunction with the capsule. It helps abstract gemini responses, session management, and form page creation.
After I finish my 3DS client (nearly done with an MVP for ROOPHLOCH)
I'm going to clean those libraries up, write some docs, and open source that for sure! It really makes CGI capsule creation a lot easier.
At a certain point I probably will open source hidden.nexus. At least I would like to!

@abraxas Is the source code for hidden.nexus available somewhere ? Could be good to host it somewhere so that others can help you improve it.
I could be wrong but i think there's an issue with the redirection after you write a reply to a post, it seems to redirect you to gemini://hidden.nexus/feed%postid when it should really redirect you to gemini://hidden.nexus/feed ?

I stayed up way way too late, but after a while of debugging fun C memory issues I got TLS connections working on hardware and I can access Gemini capsules!
I also got the basics for interactive UI up so I can control things. Tomorrow I'll work on that UI more, as well as actual gemtext rendering!
Keeping the top screen for showing gemtext, bottom for UI and control. Really excited to show you all when I get it looking a little nicer!

Something longer form that I keep going to is

Really good story on the development of the Macintosh, from the people who made it. (Mirrored obviously)
Gemini lends itself really well to reading something long but well organized like this.

Thank you!!
What I was thinking is that when there are more users, or there are enough posts to justify this, that I'll make it so you see posts/likes from people you follow! That'll make it look a little less cluttered. (If you follow no one or enable a setting it'll just show everything still)
Then each post kind of is a thread for replies!
Or something like that. Questions or comments abt that?

There are a few places I frequent due to the variety they provide. Flounder.online is one such capsule host and microblog, which provides a feed of recent additions from ppl's capsules. Gemini chat also seems interesting, in that it's a sort of chat wall people can write messages to at any time. One of the other capsules that's a good visit for music is higeki.jp/fanden/ which seems to be a music project that incorporates synth sounds and experimental noises.

Hey sounds good to me, either way, and if quote blocks solely remain then so be it. It's lookin real fresh. I can't wait to see more people hit this platform up, it's a cool middle ground between the minimalism of station and the organization of bubble. Things are lookin up for the geminispace protocol. :)

The quote blocks are working great btw! Maybe that could be one last step? In the UI settings, if there's a choice between "Pre-formatted blocks" and "Quote blocks" with a toggle between one or the other. Thanks for the help btw!

A question to anyone here,
Do you have any specific niche places in gemspace you find cool for one reason or another?
I'm exploring more, and finding lots of cool things. The crawler has helped a little bit with that, but most of it is just exploring and reading what people have to say.
Anything cool at all! Just something kind of niche in your opinion.
1 like - 0 reposts - 1 reply
That's correct!
The gemtext spec says that quotes are one to a line, but a lot of times quoting someone would take more
So Lagrange and a lot of other clients group consecutive quote lines together!
2 likes - 0 reposts - 0 replies
Yeah so indeed hidden.nexus sends a quote instruction for each paragraph, that's fine. But i've noticed that Lagrange for example displays it as one block, maybe it's grouping quotes togeter when there are multiple "single" quotes in a row.

@abraxas Made a video recording of how hidden.nexus looks. I like the fast page flicking. Need to check why the quotes seem to be seen as one quote per line of text. Sorry for the long ipfs link.

@abraxas The recent changes are great, looks fine on gemalaya, i'll keep tuning the way the block quotes look. Using block quotes is a great choice.
For the profile picture link grab, i know what you mean, it's making a request for each time it's on the page even though it's the same url, will fix that, thank you, that will save some bandwidth.

I'm super happy to hear that!! I just moved things over from preformatted text to block quotes, which does what I'm looking for while being better supported in the browsers I'm currently using!
Does it still look work well with gemalaya? Here's to hoping!
I also notice that when you load the feed, it grabs my profile picture link one time for each time it's on the feed! Little bug report : )

I suggest you check out your settings! If you view your user profile when logged in you can go to your settings which have tons of options for interactivity.
Replies are currently implemented, in fact I've been replying to your posts this whole time pretty much!
If you click on the date of a post to view it (or the interaction in a repost to save on space, they all have the same icon tho). All the interaction buttons will show up no matter what because viewing a post specifically implies intention.
It also renders replies. I'm going to add it so replies will show the parent post too if you're viewing the reply post specifically.
I'll make sure to make settings more easily findable!

That's a really smart idea! I'm actually currently
doing some light adjustments to UI and stuff.
Just made birthdays optional, and the TOS is stated to
be agreed on sign up, with the link to read right there. (open
to feedback about that, I want to make sure that it's
obvious that the TOS is being agreed to, but I also
want a smoother user signup experience)
I'm gonna swap the text over to a quote for post text
and we'll see how it looks right now lol.
I know the default lagrange look for it is okay, but it has two options. Also want to check Elaho and Lagrange on mobile.
Hopefully we hear if it looks good on Gemlaya too :)

one more thing: it's more an observation, really.
below every post made here, there are 3 indicators
that follows as such: like, repost, and replies.
the way I can check or take part in likes, I can see
the amount and place a like. checking reposts is very
straight-forward and immediately viewable on front page.
I try to figure out replies, but there's not really a button
at all to leave one from what I can tell, and instead of
any replies being available it seems like the "reposts"
effectively works as the reply. will there be plans for an
internal comments section per post to incorporate
a reply feature? if the reposts are replace replies,
is the empy feature productive to keep? TYSM
Thank you for your feedback! The key replacement mechanism is a really really good idea.
I'm going to work on that as soon as I finish the setting for preformatted block width, and the image stuff.

hey abraxas, glad to see you're hitting the weekend up :D
if there's one suggestion I have for this pre-format text
switch, i've noticed that if there's one element not being
used through most of this space it's one and one only: quotes.
You can use the > element to follow before every post text body
like so:
> This is an example of a post
> continuing into another line from a break/wrap
> and starting the new line with a quote so as to
> not break the format. Hello, world!
I imagine it might effectively work similarly, w.o
the rendering issues that pre-formatted text might present
across other devices. Sorry for the tl;dr post, cheers!

None of those are really that hard to implement, but I've just been enjoying my weekend after a long work week haha.
With preformatted text, I think it makes sense to manually split it up into smaller lines when rendering (it's still stored exactly as typed). How I've seen it is that a preformatted block can be formatted for the situation, hence the "pre" formatting. All within spec!
But I do understand the criticism and have been debating if a solution is needed. Thank you for posting!

This is a very cool concept for a gemini. I do agree that the formatting should be rectified. Personally I don't like the idea of allowing users to do any formatting outside of the Gemtext spec because that is what renderers are designed around. I cant read half of the posts without changing my orientation which goes against the whole idea of minimal formatted text.
Additionally I would suggest a key replacement mechanism. I usually set my keys to expire at the end of the year so that the renewal process shows I'm still active.

@abraxas hidden.nexus works nicely with gemalaya :=) I think it's a good idea to offer the possibility to write posts that are rendered as preformatted text, but maybe that shouldn't be the default ? On the post page, you could have an option to set the format ? Anyway thanks for hidden.nexus it's pretty cool.

Hi Morgan!
Happy to see another user!
Funny to find you post this, I'm actually testing the setting to change the width of the preformatted block line breaks!
Right now it's 55 characters, which is really nice on my desktop lagrange. I also got an email from a mobile user as well, so I'm working on the setting for both of you now! (and everyone else, it's a nice setting to have)
I like to keep preformatted blocks if I can, because it allows people to post nearly any characters they want. If it continues to be a pressing piece of feedback though, even with the blocks I'll convert things over : )
I really appreciate your feedback, thank you!

Hi :)
It's great to see another take on a Gemini social site. Thanks for making it :)
Here is my first feedback ;) the code formatted blocks are quite hard to read on lagrange on my phone, I have to scroll sideways. Is there a possibility of changing that or maybe offering a change as an account setting, by any chance?

And thank you very much,
I have some fun plans in the future for this capsule.
Something like subdomain hosting for capsules for registered users, to provide hosting for formatted text.
Maybe a super compact viewing mode on here.
Taking a small break though to mess with the crawler before doing bigger things here.
But something like text formatting is a great idea.

I'm thinking of a few small to medium sized updates for the nexus, just some things that have been bothering me a little bit since I released it.
I think I want to remove the dob requirement for registration, as well as changing the tos so it's agreed by default (a "by registering you agree to blah blah blah").
I want to make the user onboarding experience a little easier, and it would make the registration page a bit cleaner.
I also want to open up post "images" to allow for any kind of link as there's not any difference between the two.
Are there other things anyone would want to suggest? Or comments on these proposed updates?

So I released this capsule yesterday, after lots of work.
I thought maybe I'd take a break from gemini coding and stuff.
Today, after work, I wrote a crawler to traverse gemspace.
It's going around now, it's found a few thousand pages so far!
Excited to look at the data and captions written for the traversed links.
