I've begun with the UI experiments. First point of inquiry: how best to present forms with simple, single-line inputs? Two approaches immediately came to mind:

gemini://alpha.lyk.so/

gemini://beta.lyk.so/

I'm interested in hearing opinions about the two approaches.

Next up will be experiments in long-form composition from within Gemini.

@iam Yeah, I suppose it really only makes sense for optional fields on forms, right? Though something also bothers me about the idea of only having that control on *some* fields and not others. · 2 years ago

@lykso unset link is more pleasant, but, IMHO, in real application not everywhere needed. User can also click on it by mistake. · 2 years ago

@iam @marginalia Whoops! Moved to a new directory for profile data but forgot I'd told rsync to ignore the parent directory. Should work now. · 2 years ago

@lykso I am getting Temporary Failure on setting name in both alpha and beta · 2 years ago

@iam The difference is how you empty the form field once it's set. In "alpha" you enter a "-"; in "beta" there's a link specifically for that.

@marginalia Strange. Seems to be working now. Is it still broken for you? · 2 years ago

What's the difference? In additional linebreakes only? · 2 years ago

Got 'bad request' accessing them both :-( · 2 years ago
