(#mxydqka) @prologic@twtxt.net I’m on it! 😎
(#6pzrkva) @prologic@twtxt.net Oh, right. I forgot about it, I’ll do just that!
(#uyrspdq) @prologic@twtxt.net That’s right! @tel@we.loveprivacy.club Feel free to follow my feeds.
Right now i’ve done planning my work on it and will be working on the app in the weekends (my only free time).
I’ll be publishing my updates through the #pwa tag, you can check that up to see what going on and feel free to give your opinions / ideas, I’ll try to make everyone happy!
(#mxydqka) @prologic@twtxt.net I too am using Goryon when on phone occasionally, still works fine.
(#yo2bebq) @prologic@twtxt.net Nice!
(#bx325ma) @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com It looks kinda ok on bigger screen, but there’s more issues than just CSS here…
It doesn’t even show data properly on my device.
(#346moma) @prologic@twtxt.net Cool, I’ll check it out this weekend.
(#yo2bebq) @prologic@twtxt.net Nice option, I have tried it before but didn’t understand from the description what it does, now it’s a huge difference, I’ll stick with the Flat.
Is it available from the API?
(#ojevvcq) @novaburst@twt.nfld.uk Nice, did you draw it yourself? With what?
At first glance looks like vector art.
(#qkqefka) @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com I check twtxt just now but it seems the way to go, the js code in the article feels a bit excessive to me.
A simple class added to the post that have more than X lines should be enough.
And by just nullifying the max-height
with none
or initial
should do the job, or even better having a read-more
class that add the max-height
and show the button, it would be even cleaner.
Hello everyone, I’m back with another update for the #pwa!
I finally planned out how the app will be built.
First I’ll clean the project structure to be standalone and not as a theme, then I will work on every part separately, trying to be contained to let everyone try it out fast.
For the API I’ll be using this as a reference, @prologic@twtxt.net help me if there’s anything missing there apart from what we already said (bookmark, etc.)
The first part will be the Discover view with no auth.
(#asegxpa) @mutefall@twtxt.net Nice.
(#2h4bf6q) @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com Now I see the lightbox, nice and animated, amazing! 🤩
(#r2m6zmq) @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com Oh, I see! No worries 👍
(#ttofg7a) @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com Ok? I think I’m missing something, you’re talking about the lightbox?
(#no4pl7q) @screem@yarn.yarnpods.com Yeah, but it should be better for the rest of the week.
(#o3h6wca) @novaburst@twt.nfld.uk What caught my eye when looking for clients before yarn was actually txtweet.
It felt simpler to hack and adapt to me, might be a good reference.
(#no4pl7q) @screem@yarn.yarnpods.com The Good, the Bad and the Ugly for me. 😎😢🙃
(#cxzkjma) @novaburst@twt.nfld.uk Wow! Thank you for referencing my twt in your blog! 😄
I’m always been a fan of tiny and minimal tools, usually a quick glance is enough for me to understand if something is in my style.
Before replying to you I actually checked the source code of pass as a reference and was welcomed with walls of text that felt pretty unappealing to me.
(#asegxpa) @mutefall@twtxt.net You’re welcome!
Just go with black tea and you’ll be fine! ✌️
(#ubj45tq) @novaburst@twt.nfld.uk You call it an actually boring password manager yet It’s really inspiring on how much you can strip down and still have something so versatile that you’ll actually use as an alternative over pass. 😲
(#asegxpa) @mutefall@twtxt.net I don’t drink coffee at all, yet other people still call me a developer. 🥸
Anyway, here the app i mentioned: DriveDroid
(#rqitkva) @novaburst@twt.nfld.uk I see, I was looking at something for encrypting with a simple password without anything else.
Maybe i should be making my own tool too, it was in my plans anyway.
(#53wqhjq) @prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I saw gopass and the android client too but I don’t like the fact that I have to take around a gpg key, I prefer having something deterministic of easily replicable even without the original at hand.
(#53wqhjq) @novaburst@twt.nfld.uk Did you fork it from pass or is something completely different? I was thinking of building one myself for a while now.
@ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com Keepass is pretty nice but I prefer a plain text system like pass.
I don’t even keep my own passwords written anywhere, I just need to remember the username, that’s why I thought of using a stateless approach AND a password manager for the others accounts.
(#ppbmueq) @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com Nice, take care of the API too! 👍
(#puslfoq) @novaburst@twt.nfld.uk I too have to keep track of lot on accounts, I use an org-mode file to know where I have which account.
I even have to keep track of other people’s accounts too, luckily only for storage purpose, since they can’t understand the importance of remembering their own passwords, I can count to over 140 in total. 😭
(#xd6wama) @prologic@twtxt.net Sure, I’ll be working on the project plan and data layer in the meantime. 💪
(#xd6wama) @prologic@twtxt.net Having everything under one endpoint is better for other integration too I think.
I’m missing endpoints because I didn’t see them under the spec page, I should check the repo then, I’m also missing the response structure, but I can directly look it up later when working on the API.
(#ttofg7a) @prologic@twtxt.net Perfect! 👍
I’ll have to rework the layout a bit to let everyone work with my setup then, I’ll of course put the instructions to my workflow in the Readme.
(#bg2vtbq) @prologic@twtxt.net Nice, I’ll look at it when working on the app.
(#bg2vtbq) @prologic@twtxt.net Hope to be!
Just understand better how you browse, do you use a dedicated app or plugin or you simply zoom in the page with the native zooming?
(#ttofg7a) @prologic@twtxt.net Ok! 👌
I can’t say much about the theme decision but I think who choose that should know that the NEED JavaScript if they want to change it back and to see anything in the first place, that also means that we need an API for selecting the theme for the #pwa too.
For mitigate the risks we should have a noscript
tag with a description and a static link or action to revert the decision, it can be tested via lynx or any other cli browsers, I can’t help there for now through.
(#xd6wama) @prologic@twtxt.net Yes, thanks you.
For now I’ll try to use what we have already, the API in dev.twtxt.net seems to cover most actions, the only APIs that are missing are one for reporting and the actions on twts (mute, bookmark, etc.) and one with the metadata of the pod too, (version, branch, references, etc.).
I’m not real time by nature 🥴 so I think working with issues and yarn should be enough for now.
(#ttofg7a) @prologic@twtxt.net Just did yesterday. ✌️
(#bg2vtbq) @prologic@twtxt.net I see, thank you for explaining your experience with UIs.
I’ll try to make it so it doesn’t get in the way as you described. 👌
(#asegxpa) @mutefall@twtxt.net Yes, i mentioned USB and SD cards because they are what I use for installing nowadays I also have a TinyCore Linux on a old 512Mb SD card with persistence that works flawlessly as a recovery OS.
With my old phone I even used an app to install the live CD and writable in my phone using an app for Android rooted devices to use as a portable recovery or persistent USB hub, I don’t remember the name but I can look it up if you. want.
Alright! Finally got everything set up to start working on the #pwa! 💪💪💪
I’ll be working only on the #pwa repo and I’ve set a local proxy on a throwaway docker instance of yarnd as a local backend.
First will be to get all the API mapped and then I’ll try to get everything to work with less graphics elements as i can at first. 🙃
For the rest I’ll write down a quick list of the next steps to do as soon as I can.
Meanwhile feel free to give any suggestions/proposal/alternative on the UI or any questions/request for the project. 😜
(#asegxpa) @mutefall@twtxt.net Thats right!
Maybe installing it in dual boot or on a usb drive or sd card, can help you set up on the hardware part.
(#ttofg7a) @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com My suspect was right, the fix is:
dialog {
flex-direction: column;
}
But this put the texts on two lines, it can be fixed by wrapping them with a plain div
or span
to convert them to a single child in the flexbox container.
I should make an account soon so i can help directly and start with the pwa too… 😐
(#asegxpa) @mutefall@twtxt.net So you’re using NixOS now? Me too! 😉
I made the switch by setting it up first in VirtualBox, then copied the configuration.nix
and used it directly on a new install on my actual PC, the transition wasn’t much trouble either.
(#6pcl34q) @david@netbros.com That’s right, I’ll keep that in mind.
I’ll rely on you on looking for issues while working on the app. 👍
(#bg2vtbq) @prologic@twtxt.net Do you mean mouse over as interactions or what exactly?
To me hovers are mostly for visual feedback.
I too find them bothersome when they cover half screen with weird popups from mega menus for example.
(#ttofg7a) @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com When on my PC I’ll check it out too.
At first glance is the direction of the elements, is it made with flexbox? In that case it must be the flex direction
.
(#bg2vtbq) @prologic@twtxt.net Since we’re in topic I would like to ask about the accessibility part for the pwa, I looked at the documentation of the polythene library and it seems well covered on that part, are there any particular additions that might be useful?
Usually there’s not much request at my office so I just focus on having the application decently organized on the HTML structure and allowing a good keyboard navigation but not much else.
(#ttofg7a) @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com It’s amazing! I have a friend who is into building with LEGO and have an entire room filled with miniature and not so miniatures. 😉
(#ttofg7a) @prologic@twtxt.net Don’t worry, leave it to us. 😜
(#ttofg7a) @prologic@twtxt.net The label get crushed on the right side of the image when opened.
I can’t help right now, but I’ll give a quick look once I’m on my PC later.
(#pvohbma) @prologic@twtxt.net I’m not sure, but this is the best I found on a quick search: PeerChat, if I remember correctly OwnCloud offer a chat plugin which is self hosted too.
Fun fact: I thought of making an app like that for fun just two days ago while chatting with a friend, never started since I didn’t really needed and was more of a toy project though. 😄
(#2kj5qta) @mutefall@twtxt.net Nice!
Waiting some more feedback from others.
Meanwhile I’ll be planning the app feature tree to manage the work.
