βββPriorities for board software at present:
βββ
βββ#1. Better tag engine
βββSomething like logical "AND" and "NOT" to compliment what exists now,
βββwhich is something like logical "OR".
βββ
βββMaking this work and work well from /tags/ page without a complicated
βββmix of checkboxen shouldn't be too difficult..
βββ
βββ#2. Thread modes
βββBesides "open" and "delete" I would like to add legacy thread modes such
βββas Sticky, Lock, Sticky Lock, and Permasage. These seem present in
βββvirtually all 4chan-like boards and can be more useful than the existing
βββbinary of "open" and "delete" -- lock/permasage can be useful but less
βββsevere forms of moderation, while "sticky" is always fun to have around.
βββ
βββ#3 Markup
βββAt least ">" making what's ostensibly quoted text appear slightly
βββdifferently has value, even if only in thread mode and not tree mode.
βββ
βββLikely #2 will be focused on before #1. #3 is not of priority.
ββββ
βββ βπ 23.βThread modes
ββββI've now added some thread modes: sticky, lock, stickylock, permasage.
ββββ
ββββYou generally won't be seeing these used, but I'll leave the "hello
ββββworld" thread stickied for a while.
βββββ
βββ βπ 25.β
βββββ> #3 Markup
βββββ
βββββI'm thinking of adding the following syntax:
βββββ
βββββ> quote / color 1
βββββ< quote / color 2
βββββ%spoiler%
βββββ
βββββDo these look good?
βββββ
βββββNo plans for >> replies (eg, >>18) yet, but it's a possibility.
βββββI would rather encourage one reply = one post than have many replies
βββββin one post -- this is a bit more annoying for the poster, but has
βββββbenefits for readers. A post is only be written once, while it is
βββββread an indefinite many of times.
ββββββ
βββββ βπ 29.β
ββββββThis all sounds good to me!
ββββββI can't wait to see this site get updates, it's got a lot of potential.
βββββββ
βββββ βπ 30.βMarkup added
βββββββWe now have a bit of markup:
βββββββ
βββββββ> normal quote
βββββββ< irregular quote
βββββββ^ crazy quote
βββββββ
βββββββ%spoiler% text -- just wrap text with %parentheses signs%
βββββββ(I'll add something in the /about/ page about it later)
ββββββββ
βββββββ βπ 31.β
βββββββββSorry, I meant percentage signs % , a bit tired
βββββββββ
βββββββββ%there must be an even number of percentage signs or it won't hide %
βββββββββ%the text -- also, spoilers only work within one line, so if you want%
βββββββββ%a big spoiler, you need to wrap each line within the comments with a%
βββββββββ%percent sign.%
ββββββββββ
βββββββββ βπ 32.β
ββββββββββmaybe i'll make it so you can do a big spoiler later by wrapping a
ββββββββββbigger chunk of text like:
ββββββββββ
ββββββββββ%%%
ββββββββββbig secrets go here!
ββββββββββmultiple line wrapped spoiler!
ββββββββββ%%%
βββββββββββ
βββ βπ 28.β
ββββWe've began implementing tag negation --
ββββ
ββββif /tags/random pulls up all threads tagged #random,
ββββ...then /tags/random/meta pulls up all #random but not #meta,
ββββ...and /tags/ /meta/ pulls up all threads not tagged meta.
ββββ...or /tags/ /random+meta/ hides all threads tagged random or meta.
ββββ
ββββbasically /tags/include me/but not me/ .
