are you this poster (28277199)? I'm looking for this poster
hi, what's up?
>>36783
this site kinda
eh sketch UI
anyone here?
>>36983
Moshi moshi
hey!
nice I got banned or something from /gle/
I don't get a comment box
at the same time got rangebanned at 4c
>>37804
what do you mean? if you're banned you should see a black screen with a specific message. if you don't get that then just refresh and see if things work.
the box to post with often doesn't show up
my internet connection is really fiddly
pages on bw.r / g.a say "offline" in the a
<W<W
>>37818
then maybe it's a connection issue, yeah
yes but there's a lot going on like the comment box appearing and disappearing out of sync with whether the page says it's "offlne" or no
that's the most confusing part actually, that there are at least three discernable page states and only one that works
it's also annoying that I stop being able to type (visibly) when my connection drops out
>>37823
>>37825
>>37826
this is unfortunate but i don't really know what can be done about it on a liveboard
ok I guess I'll recover
>>37828
thank you, I suppose it's just a little disorienting wrangling this kind of ib software initially on top of the already kinda exotic connection errors I get herel, I'll lurk a little more for now and watch some K-On or something if the connection really falls off.
>>37834
sorry your early experience was like this. hopefully the connection will be more stable later.
sorry, we'll have better handling for spotty connections in the future. at the moment the site basically expects a steady connection
none the matter, I like graceful "degradation" (/fallback) tech. more in a gamedev context but also a little text editor stuff, understand it can take a lot of code to cover more "baroque" circumstance matrixes.
>>37838
yeah, it can
it's fun that the post number is generated before transmission btw.
>>37840
your connection seems pretty stable/smooth right now, for what it's worth
yeah, we typically rely on stuff like #d20 (11) #8ball (not a chance) #oracle (based) #flip (heads) for randomness rather than post number GETs
>>37841
hadn't even considered gets, those can get a bit annoying because it's a bit "pigeon superstition" inducing and the "calling dubs" system doesn't add much.
yeah, now we have a slightly different form of superstition. which at least can't be gamed as easily as post numbers
also some stuff like:
#pick (cats) pigeons, cats, glegles
>>37842
okay but check em
#pick (a b) a b
>>37845
#based (based on what?)
>>37845
(in the future#pick
and similar will add the answer at the end of the line instead)
#pick (a) a or b
>>37845
it has to be separated with commas or the word "or"
#pick (b) a or b or c or d or e or f
ok cool
#pick (ubsd) dubs or ubsd or bsdu or sdub
witnessed
we've got a ton of other commands and many more coming soon®
dogs, cats #? (dogs)
#?
is an alias for #pick (? is an alias for fyi. as arechoose anddecide), fyi. as are#choose
and#decide
#deicide is something else though
oops lol
any other general site feedback, minus the connection stuff?
or policy/content/strategy/community management feedback
!!XYfmLdml0o
>>37860
(not the anon you were talking to) but I think that if we substantially expand we're probably going to need more mods (like, site-mods) to help manage inappropriate/rule breaking content. Not sure how that should be done though
>>37860
(not them but i'd like to be able to purge posts while not being a worm)
I'll happily share my (wild) ideas for text exchange software but as to what I encountered today: an option to make linebreaks with enter and a clickable send (with upload progress/error state) would be nice.
I see it yes thanks, the option, the button takes up space but is invisible.
>>37861
yep, we've been thinking about that, for sure
>>37861
Are you volunteering?
!!XYfmLdml0o
>>37865
Not yet, but I noticed that I was sort of nervous earlier in /gle (while baking) of the conflicts between some users, and I wasn't sure if they were going to be a major issue or something. I probably (actually definitely) don't have the experience or skillset to moderate content unfortunately.
>>37863
>an option to make linebreaks with enter
we (my team) have debated this a lot
>a clickable send
this can be toggled in the settings
>>37866
No skill required. You can pick it up if need be. You just need the right mindset.
But yes, I noticed that things were getting heated, which is why I popped in.
Then there is the fact that the comment box cannot move and I have a small screen (1024x768), I'm on a Panasonic Toughbook (Japanese BIOS kek), initiallly I had trouble not having page elements shadow each other and it was unclear which were on top thanks to identical color tints + ~50% alpha.
!!XYfmLdml0o
>>37868
I think I'd be a bit more apt to the idea if some sort of "mod-code" was made though. It might also be a good idea in general to better flesh out site rules for arguments and whatnot.
>>37871
Definitely. There are plans for that. These are still the very early days though, so it's all a work in progress. In any case we prefer to not have too many rules. Principles yes, rules no.
!!XYfmLdml0o
>>37872
I like that idea. Maybe it could be incorporated with the idea of an official "Site/Glegle Manifesto", to go with the official rules. Like reddiquete but not being based on reddit (because reddit sucks)
>>37869
we haven't really tested too much on mobile and smaller screens/older computers yet
>>37875
I think chrome does too. also fyi, there are a few small site bugs that are present in FF but not chrome. right now things are basically only optimized for chrome on desktop
we've already got quite a few polyfills for things. well, a few anyway
>>37874
FF has "screensize simulator", it's kinda handy.
>>37873
Manifesto is our Activation Phrase
>>37863
>I'll happily share my (wild) ideas for text exchange software
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this
>>37878
Specifications! For natural language. So the English forum can use English unicode. But whitelisting words may be doable in some contexts, blacklisting/replace is clearly doable. Not for technical compatibility but to regulate the flow of users between different "rooms", or for OP's that have specific preferences for the comments in their threads.
>>37873
And by that I mean, yes. There are Plans.
>>37880
mysterious
!!XYfmLdml0o
On a tangential note, in regards to recruiting (not now, but in the future,) what are your thoughts on the /wsg/ board of 4chan? I recently stumbled across it and found it, well, interesting, and I was curious how you felt about it (especially seeing as you probably know more about it than me).
>>37879
a few things:
you may already be aware, but users can create their own boards, and boards can also optionally be configured as "single-thread boards" (STBs). glegle.army is one example of an STB. users can basically moderate their boards/threads this way
>>37879
That's on the moderation / allowing users to move between spaces / "new user" spaces / subforums, and on the clientside, the part that would be fun is preprocessors for page rendering. Like for a vivid example, a 3D page renderer, and to prevent overspecification in the idea "phase".
Like the server determines what is required of the data, and the client how they extrapolate the bits they receive (and edit before sending and storing a local copy) into various shapes e.g. graphics locally. These aren't really new ideas, it's just a slightly unusual composition of them.
>>37884
> a simple set of preprocessors for page rendering
Board owners can write their own CSS, which is neat
>>37884
I think I'm not really understanding the idea yet. do you just mean board owners being able to customize boards in lots of different ways? I don't think I understand what you mean about moving between spaces, or
>Specifications! For natural language. So the English forum can use English unicode.
>>37882
(We'll have to look into it. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.)
!!XYfmLdml0o
>>37887
I honestly don't know how I feel about the board at all yet, other than that it seems to be a fairly mixed bag.
>>37884
ok, I think I understand. if I do then we definitely have a lot of things like this planned
>>37890
Oh one parallel thing, an archive
>>37890
threads will never be pruned so we sort of have auto-archiving but yes I intend to add search functionality in the future as well
Maybe a database dump into a folder on the server (in dated parts or something) and put that behind a very throttled nginx. That would be a "real" archive, one that can be backuped or even has a public export. Yes like a minimally sanitized SQL dump I assume there are fields that are not user-generated and not necessary to archive.
>>37892
like a dump of the actual SQL, you mean?
>>37892
that's interesting but I feel like for all the work that goes into it not a single person would ever use that or know what to do with it, compared to a simpler GUI
>>37895
for what purpose, exactly?
well we have private backups of course
>>37894
Doesn't have to be elaborate just copies of the data on at least two storage media in case someone runs rm -rf ohh sure I didn't know that, why public backups, it encourages a bit more thorough consideration of what goes in them and sometimes an additional pair of eyes (someone who downloads a copy) actually shows up and has useful remarks, but that is secondary.
>>37895
are you a glowwie
you have to tell us if you're a glowwie
>>37895
I see. yeah, that is an interesting idea
I am not a glowie though my welfare is paid by the govt.
But I do not get additional money for going here, in fact I think the welfare lady looks at me a bit weirder after I've spent N hours on imageboards the previous day. No it's alright I'm pretty good at eating cheap. It works just well enough.
>>37901
haha
>>37904
what a beautiful system we live in
>>37879
>Not for technical compatibility but to regulate the flow of users between different "rooms"
can you give an example of this
>>37907
I'm thinking about systems that cross at least one language domain so e.g. a new users forum where both the native language and a lingua franka e.g. English is spoken. Considering LTR or (oh no no no) TTB (vertical Japanese etc.) basically illustrates that some client-side contextual interpretation may be necessary.
But for monolingual, a different blacklist/whitelist for new users / specific reputation specs can make sense, and against brigading there can be similar measure s like just blacklisting a real wide range of words, or limiting a board to "simple English, such stuff".
>>37908
oh I see. the upstream software our codebase is forked from (ours is heavily modified, but we still owe a lot to the upstream) actually had client-side language packs but I ended up removing those
>a different blacklist/whitelist for new users / specific reputation specs can make sense
yes, we have exactly this planned
plus, mostly just for fun, we intend to allow board owners to create board-wide blacklists and whitelists of different kinds
>>37908
>or limiting a board to "simple English".
yes, we have such a feature in the works. though primarily for humor/comedy purposes. the mode is currently dubbed "Grug Mode"
>>37908
>say no to "LTR" -> RTL
Accidentally spoke my heart instead of what I was trying to write, RTL, I like RTL writing a lot but it's unfamiliar to a lot of people.
No I think I was just confused for a moment because I saw a copy of my text being "redacted" liker at most 2s after I'd "sent" it
>>37915
lol sorry I was quoting you
>>37918
>>37917
np lol I tried really hard to understand what the machine was doing :^) this is kinda fun like DDR typing edition this could actually be a game.
>>37919

np lol I tried really hard to understand what the machine was doing :^)
hmmm this could be a fun mode...
everyone has to type the same thing in sync and if they make a mistake they get buzzed/otherwise penalized
>>37919
>this is kinda fun like DDR typing edition
we have a more literal version of this planned for...soon...ish....
>>37919
Yeah. I like it..
>>37924
I think this is already very literate!
>>37923
A follow the leader kind of thing could be cool
>>37927
yeah
>>37926
I guess the difference for what's planned would be what exactly gets rendered as the output
I'm kinda glad that there isn't an edit button yet! So when I talked of "specs", with an op having such an option (not necessary as you say but it's fun to consider for a second) it's a bit like a gamemode.
>>37930
we probably won't add one tbh
>>37931
#make this tell the truth
hmm
!!XYfmLdml0o
I'm in agreement that there shouldn't really be an edit button (outside of editai). One of the more notable things about this site is the way discussions are live, how they're "real" and I think an edit button would detract from this
>>37930
yeah, for sure. we plan to add more "gamemodes"
>>37935
It's already really chaotic but I think >>37936 gamemodes are intuitive as a concept, you "host" a thread and get fun options to enable or disable beforehand.
>>37930
here's a list of the current ways board owners can configure boards. we'll be adding a lot more things soon, as well
>>37937
ah, that's an interesting spin on it
I can toggle one gamemode right now...

oops i did the wrong board lol
sorry /gle/...

welcome to typewriter mode
>>37946
#make this say welcome to hell
Hell o aaah no on no you have taketh mine undoeth
!!XYfmLdml0o
>>37946
Shho
shot
shoot, I hate (in a good way) ytyp
typewrite mode.
it is very fun
Does it have double space to make a pzero no ok my had a n employer that typed computers txts with always double spaces after periods. Like this. Its a cllear telll.
yea h i think that's an oldschool rule. yes notorious from satoshi nakamoto and i think in general older generations and maybe also associated with britain
>>37951
satoshi..?
No he was from the big nose tribe , a new yoker
Used to do trading, then becme a brman, idk
I t type ivery roughly but you do not know the payin of app pain of his this keyobard, it's a cha chicket keyob bk keyboard without caps
s so i'm just slig sliding o n sliding on a loose sheet of m pls plastic cot contacts
nothin a nothing againt j Jewish people but I'm 1/8th oy 1/6h 1/16ht Japanese so m the idea of them a havin gl having learnt this from a Japanese person makes a hw a whole lot more sense than them being significantly Japanese to me, they are anyway. I see. I see I cannot even, crumple. Adn ANd ANd ANd And discardl the whole message.
satoshi is definitely just a british guy who picked it as an alias anyway
I will actually have to think before I type.
This is not quite my habit.
same
!!XYfmLdml0o
It especially inhibits your willingness to try out things like commands, because t
you know that one mistake means you need to wrtie the wole thing over aain
anyway, it was nice talking to you. i'm gonna head out. thank you for the advice and feedback. see ya
>>37964
Idem, have a nice ee evening. or some such daypart. much obliged and thanks fro w for he he zhe conversation. later!
!!XYfmLdml0o
>>37965
Goodnight(or evening)! Take care!
Thank you it is night here GMT+1 s now 2:22
Goodnight!
