Thanks.
One more thing...wouldn't it be cool to have a few more options in "advanced search" ?
The option would be ~PostOnly and ~CommentOnly. To be able to distinguish between the two in the search results.
Okay, just one more thing - the font that the word Filters is written in, in the above screenshot, is actively working against understandability. Maybe switch it out with something else.
Interesting. I didn't think about the speed of acquisition being a big factor. I think you're right.
Also one more thing - maybe you could limit (in the search results) how many lines you show, for each result? Instead of showing EVERY single time where the target word shows up?
The way it is now, the results are hard to visually parse. This is probably also because the title is so hard to distinguish from the rest of the results.
And then somehow giving an indication, visually, of whether the search result is in the actual post, or in a comment.
Thanks for working on search.
The FORMAT of the search result output is hard to read.
I searched for @signal312 carnviore
- The word that you're searching for is highlighted, everywhere. If it's a somewhat common word, it's a confusing read
- The excessively bold highlighting of the search term obscures the difference between the different results. It's hard to tell where one starts, and the other begins
- The title of the post is in a pale gray. It's hard to see, and distinguish between them.
- The title is AFTER things that are less important. Like the sats, number of replies. Maybe those would be better on the next line, in a smaller font
- it's not possible (or is it?) to be able to tell whether the search term shows up in a post, or a comment. Would be nice if you could.
- Also - it doesn't look like search finds everything. I searched for this: @signal312 carnviore ... and it didn't find the article #335229. And I think more were missing.
Wow! I had a palm pilot...dang, it was a LONG time ago. Actually I had all of them, as they evolved. And I absolutely loved it. It was an amazingly well-designed little device.
I loved their alphabet - I think it was called Graffiti. When writing fast, I still make the letter E in the Graffiti style.
I can really see the appeal of this one.
Sounds interesting, could you tell me more? Do you have personal experience with this? Do you know of any young people, like high school grads, currently doing this?
I donated to a couple organizations a while back. That was a really bad decision. One of them turned really woke around the covid time period, and was an advocate of masking and vaccine, and made lots of excuses for government overreach.
I'm now VERY hesitant about any donations. I'm going to think long and hard about them.
Maybe it's just best to buy bitcoin.
Yandex - the Russian version of a lot of US apps. For instance, their search engine will return results that are censored in the US.
I remember this, from looking at the card catalog in the library, when I was a kid. Focusing on the same word (say the subject was History - Civil War), the words started to look strange and meaningless as I flipped from one card to the next.
Okay, and because I'm not always so good at coming up with the counter-arguments off the top of my head, let's give some of them as well!
Nope, never. Hate having something BUZZING ME on my wrist, like I'm a slave or something.
Hate it when people around me (even when their phone is put away) pay more attention to their wrist than to their surroundings.
I'm glad you got it started!
I wonder if it might be a good idea, to somehow incorporate the FAQ into github. That way people could suggest changes more easily. You could outsource some of the work!
Nice! Thanks for putting this up.
- How will Robosats users be finding this website? I'm thinking this has been necessary for a while, but I'm uncertain as to how people will actually encounter your FAQ page.
- A suggestion - in "Contacts - How do i contact my coordinator", I would be more specific, saying something like 1. click on the settings option, at the bottom of the screen, with a screenshot 2. Scroll down to see the list of coordinators 3. Then where you have all the icons for different contact methods, I'd include text. It may seem obvious to those in the know, but it would be more intuitive with a little description (the word email, the word telegram, etc)
- How long will the telegram remain up? It seems like most/a lot of support still happens there. It's a little confusing, between telegram and the simplex group.
I wonder about that. I recently read the book My Life With The Eskimo, by Vilhjalmur Stefansson. He lived with the Eskimo before World War 1 for a long chunk of time - I think about 5 years. As far as I remember he didn't mention food like that. Lots and lots of boiled fish, though, and caribou.
If you're interested, it's available on annas-archive.org (https://annas-archive.org/md5/eec5a2359ef12238d79a94317989b6f6). It's a really interesting book, all about the life of the Eskimo, just before they had significant contact with explorers/whalers.
Wow! Please research, get on the boltz.exchange discord and ask. He's responsive.
Inquiring minds need to know what's going on!
