How do you want to do this? We don't have infinite edits (yet), so you won't be able to update your post on a regular basis. Do you want to use comment pins to add more stuff to the index? But those are also limited. Also, it sounds like you're using the term "pin" for including posts in the index.
Maybe I'm just confused since no one else seemed to be confused by this.
👀 I think you just stepped up the territory game with this post.
I also wondered about the mechanics of a pinned post that was "maintained."
You could just rewrite the post every time you have an update (copy and paste + new content) and make a new post to pin, but that sounds clunky.
I wonder if pinned post is not what's needed. Maybe a sticky territory bio that is always visible above territory posts page.
Either way, I love the books and articles territory. I have big plans for all the wordy wonders I'm going to leave there.

You're right. It would be clunky. I tried playing around with the existing territories description box but it is severely size limited and not very visible.

Yes, and when I come to the territory as a returning visitor, I want to see the new posts. I'd probably be more likely to bounce if I saw a full screen of the same static (or slowly changing) post.
Have you thought about doing a weekly round up newsletter like @k00b does for SN?
reply
Yes I have thought of that, but not in this context. That's an excellent idea also. I guess we won't know what works best until we have the tools available and can experiment. A more robust territories page might work. I think @grayruby has talked about this before.
reply
Static bio with logo for territories and pinned posts would be a great start.
Have you noticed some territories dropped off? When I posted the push up challenge a couple days ago, I wanted to post in fitness but I didn't see a fitness territory anymore. This is encouraging. Fitness and Health should be one.

It happened to me too. I went to check chess and radio the other day.
reply
I didn't realize chess was gone. I should message Need on nostr and see if he wants to make his chess posts in sports.
Games and activities could be a sub of sports. We don't have sub territories yet but could essentially create them by labelling the posts for now.
reply
Good idea.
That's why I need your help specifically! Actually I see the index as a collection of links to posts that I will revise and replace on a regular basis. Infinite edits would be infinitely better. Hint, hint

Maybe locked posts could also work (only founders can reply). This way, you could reply to your own post for every new index entry. And you could even delete them individually then. We could update the sorting that if you click on
recent again, it sorts by oldest. So you could also have a chronological order.reply
This would be good. Much smoother than deleting and replacing with an updated post.
