■ 🕑 18. Priorities 2024-01-08 │ Priorities for board software at present: │ │ #1. Better tag engine │ Something like logical "AND" and "NOT" to compliment what exists now, │ which is something like logical "OR". │ │ Making this work and work well from /tags/ page without a complicated │ mix of checkboxen shouldn't be too difficult.. │ │ #2. Thread modes │ Besides "open" and "delete" I would like to add legacy thread modes such │ as Sticky, Lock, Sticky Lock, and Permasage. These seem present in │ virtually all 4chan-like boards and can be more useful than the existing │ binary of "open" and "delete" -- lock/permasage can be useful but less │ severe forms of moderation, while "sticky" is always fun to have around. │ │ #3 Markup │ At least ">" making what's ostensibly quoted text appear slightly │ differently has value, even if only in thread mode and not tree mode. │ │ Likely #2 will be focused on before #1. #3 is not of priority. │ ├─■ 🕑 23. Thread modes │ I've now added some thread modes: sticky, lock, stickylock, permasage. │ │ You generally won't be seeing these used, but I'll leave the "hello │ world" thread stickied for a while. │ ├─■ 🕑 25. │ │ > #3 Markup │ │ │ │ I'm thinking of adding the following syntax: │ │ │ │ > quote / color 1 │ │ < quote / color 2 │ │ %spoiler% │ │ │ │ Do these look good? │ │ │ │ No plans for >> replies (eg, >>18) yet, but it's a possibility. │ │ I would rather encourage one reply = one post than have many replies │ │ in one post -- this is a bit more annoying for the poster, but has │ │ benefits for readers. A post is only be written once, while it is │ │ read an indefinite many of times. │ │ │ ├─■ 🕑 29. │ │ This all sounds good to me! │ │ I can't wait to see this site get updates, it's got a lot of potential. │ │ │ └─■ 🕑 30. Markup added │ │ We now have a bit of markup: │ │ │ │ > normal quote │ │ < irregular quote │ │ ^ crazy quote │ │ │ │ %spoiler% text -- just wrap text with %parentheses signs% │ │ (I'll add something in the /about/ page about it later) │ │ │ └─■ 🕑 31. │ │ Sorry, I meant percentage signs % , a bit tired │ │ │ │ %there must be an even number of percentage signs or it won't hide % │ │ %the text -- also, spoilers only work within one line, so if you want% │ │ %a big spoiler, you need to wrap each line within the comments with a% │ │ %percent sign.% │ │ │ └─■ 🕑 32. │ maybe i'll make it so you can do a big spoiler later by wrapping a │ bigger chunk of text like: │ │ %%% │ big secrets go here! │ multiple line wrapped spoiler! │ %%% │ └─■ 🕑 28. We've began implementing tag negation --
if /tags/random pulls up all threads tagged #random, ...then /tags/random/meta pulls up all #random but not #meta, ...and /tags/ /meta/ pulls up all threads not tagged meta. ...or /tags/ /random+meta/ hides all threads tagged random or meta.
